THE START A STOCK 1988 BLASTER BOUGHT FOR $700, SOLD MOTOR FOR $250, REAR TIRES WITH RIMS $100, FRT TIRE WITH RIMS $125, SO NOW I HAVE $225 JUST FOR THE FRAME, SWINGER, A-ARMS, AND AXLE. THE PLAN TO BUILD ON A REAL BUDGET. I PAY CHILDSUPPORT AND I JUST WENT THROUGH A DIVORCE.

[jefteland]

PICKED UP A 2004 YZ85 MOTOR OFF E-BAY FOR $105 WITH A BAD ROD. PISTON WAS GOOD, BEST THING ABOUT IT I GOT IT WITH ALL ELECTRICAL, WISECO OUTTER CLUTCH BASKET AND CARB ASSY.

[jefteland]

NOW FOR THE MOTOR ALL I HAD TO DO TO FIT IT WAS MACHINE OUT FOR THE SWING ARM BOLT, ALSO I DID MACHINE THE LEFT CASE TO GET THE MOTOR TO LINE UP BETTER WITH THE CHAIN.

[jefteland]

MTR, CHECK OUT THE CARB TO AIR BOX TUBING DARN NEAR RIGHT ON ALL I HAD TO DO WAS EXTEND THE AIR TUBING. NOW I CAN USE THE STOCK AIR BOX

[jefteland]

HAD TO GET A REAR SPROCKET MADE TO FIT THE BLASTER. I AM USING A 428 CHAIN. KEEPING IN MIND OF SAVING WEIGHT I ALSO GOT ALUM. SPROCKET HUB AND BRAKE HUB. I PD $125 FOR SPROCKET HUB AND $45 FOR BRAKE HUB. GOT TO KEEP THIS THING AS LITE AS I CAN DUE TO POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO.
