redoing the blaster.... updated 7.30.07

[scooterroo]

well i kinda got bummed last weekend when i ended my memorial day weekends worth of riding and noticed the crossmember on my swinger witha huge crack in it. yeahi was getting some good air and getting rather crazy on it. so after rolling it into the garage and contemplating selling it, i decided to do a frame up resto on it. not that it needs it by anymeans. i just got done rebuilding the motor a few months ago, giving it a nice brand spanking new big bore top end. so i started deconstruction lastnight. ordered myself up a nice new stainless bolt kit for it. gonna be getting them nice new custom rear fenders in blue. gota nice metalflake blue picked out for the frame, replacing the swinger, getting a nice new extended durablue axle for it, and some +3+1 extended a-arms as well to make it nice and wide. gonna get some new rims and tires all the way around, and throw on a new seat cover and graphics as well. she will be a looker when done. i will keep yahs all posted as to the progress. damn, got three bikes, and now not a single one is running, lol. woooo is me:lol:

anyways heres a bfore shot of it... and the crack in the swinger... stay tuned for progress reports.

well i stripped it down to nothing, cleaned the frame spotless and sanded it up good, sprayed some nice metal flake blue on it, and started peicingg it back together. polished up all my aluminum and chrome parts, and even polished up the sterring stem. sent my swinger out to see if the guys going to replace it or not, if not i will be getting a new snyder motorsports +2. waiting on the new bolt kit to get here so i can replace every bolt with nice new stainless ones. anyways this is as far as i have got. cleaning the motor up tonight and going to slap it in. not much more i can do till parts start arriving.

...damn, got three bikes, and now not a single one is running, lol. woooo is me:lol:
I have been there before, have a couple back-up bikes and none run, looking good so far i like the frame paint, very nice.

[scooterroo]

well after waiting and waiting for the jerk that did my swingarm to get back to me about a replacement, he finally got backt o me saying the swinger was miss used, lol. whatever, i knew the guy would do that. so instead of wasting my time on him anymore and shelling out the cash for another of his cheapo deepo junk swingers, i am going with a nice+2 snyder motorsports swinger. ordering it up today, along with a nice new billet bearing carrier, and my aluminum airbox with 33-36mm carb boot. this project is turning out to cost a fortune for me and taking alot of time because of the cash i have to spend. but it will be one bitching looking blaster when done. will post up some new pics once the new parts are here and on. next i will be ordering up the g-force extended axle, full dg skidplates, and a few other miscellaneous parts.

[1upfront]

That will be one wicked blaster when it's done good work man:drool: :drool: I've got one question for you though the shifter shaft looks a little bent in this picture, are you planning on replacing it.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h315/scooterroo/DSCF2170.jpg

[scooterroo]

i noticed that when i redrop the motor in the frame, its not permenantly in there, just mocking everything up, so when i yank the motor back out, i am going to be rplacing the clutch anyways, so i was gonna be looking into the shifter shaft as well. yeah i am aware of it. thing shifts good though, must of been one of them hard landings! :lol

[scooterroo]

well my new billet bearing carrier arrived today, just waiting on the swingarm so i can throw it on. ordering up my +4 axle next week, then for the a-arms, turning out sweet i think.

[BigGreenMachine]

[BigGreenMachine]

Slick looking little quad.

[scooterroo]

just ordered up some nice 10inch itps for the rear, set of 18" fast trekkers to go on them...next is the custom rear fenders...and yes i will get a pic of them on the 85 and 86 t3's for yah james.

[scooterroo]

going with blue, same as the front...kinda bored with the 2 tone colored fender scheme.

[scooterroo]

well while out on my lastride, i ended up finally having a slippage problem in fourth. and the shift seal began leaking bad....lol. so i am waiting on parts once again. i got a nice new barnett clutch kit coming, new shift shaft, seal, clutch cable, plus the rod and little ball that goes into the clutch basket. the basket itself is what i am questioning...there seems to be like ripples on the sides where the discs line up. i highly doubt it is supposed to be that way, so should i try and file it down smooth or just go spend the 230 and get a nice hinson billet clutch basket?

[icp4life162005]

billet's always nice.........

[BigGreenMachine]

TTT

Anything to update?

[evand]

any fresh pics? that is one slick looking blaster, just need some works shocks and take her to the track and show up all the blaster haitin 250r guys lol

nice work man

[scooterroo]

not yet, the bike is currently undergoing some surgery from being abused, lol. lots of hardcore riding. snapped a set of nice msr racing bars where they mount on the stem, lol, from jumping a bit to high? hahaha, did we get that on camera digity? also i blew out the base gasket on the left side of the motor, so i am in the process of teardown again. ugh. easy enough to do just trying to find the time is all. plus i am possibly upgrading the intake and carb to a trx250r intake and 34 mm carb. got a new skid plate for the chassis as well going on. and getting the one for the swinger. as for the shocks i am running a 450r rear shock right now, which works awesome but a bit low sitting, and i do have a set of works on the front, but they are getting a bit weak!! so when i get my taxes in i am more then liekly gonna splurge and go with elkas all the way around and a snyder motorsports swinger. its far from done yet, its an on going project because there is so much stuff you can do to these bikes. i "STILL" need to get my custom rears and graphics for the tank as well. people might laugh and have their complaints about these bikes but i tell yah, it has been the funnest bike i have ever owned. and for a 2 stroke, the most dependable. its nothing like stock, and suprises quite a few people when they see me out riding. it constantly gets mistaken for a trx250r for some reason, till people get close and see the yamaha on the side case, then they just are shocked. it flys and has no problem whatso ever hanging with the 2 fiddies! i will take some new pics and post up sometime this weekend, stay tuned.

[edog]
