Thoughts On A...750 Blaster

[HELLONWHEELS]

Well i put an add in the local paper for a blaster or something faster and a girl calls me saying shes got a 750 street bike motor in a blaster frame:confused: ..She claims it is MINT and she wants 500$ for it....What do you guys think..should i buy this and risk it being a half ass hicks dream or should i save the extra 500$ and buy the real thing?
thanks

Hell, it might be woth that just for the sheer parts factor, assuming the motor and suspension is good. I would check for booger welds on the frame....that's a lot of arse to put in a blaster frame and it hold up. I'd at least check it out........take your digital camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HELLONWHEELS]

yah im planning on going to see it in a few days

[HELLONWHEELS]

Any one else got anything to add..Any main things i should look out for/ask?

Any main things i should look out for?

For that price, I would look to make sure the engine isn't actually a cardboard cut-out. :lol:

[HELLONWHEELS]

Well heres what i know now the frame has been chopped and welded big time but looks extremely well, i cant hear it run and i need to get a gas tank and aparetnly alter it to make it fit?????Any who, do you think i should buy it just to say i did and see what becomes of it or should i buy the real deal

if it looks good and dont need a whole lot then i say go ahed and do it. also id make the brakes work. blasters brakes are pretty bad.

i think yamaha needs to redo the blaster with a 300cc fourstroke engine simular to the yfz450. All the manufacturers need to figure out what they're doing for a midsized quad.

[ATCR250R]

I think the best blaster idea I have heard of is one with the YZF250 engine.

any pics yet?

[scooterroo]

500 for it. you might just be buying someone elses headaches. but if you do get it and dont like it you could probably triple the amount you bought it for by parting it out peice by peice.

[El'Capitan]

did you end up buying it???? pics:pics: :pics: :pics:

[ATC-Eric]

:eek: a 750 on a blaster frame????

those bikes are small to begin with, then they went cuttin the frame up?:crazy:

Be careful man.

im going to be building a blaster with an 05 yz 250 engine...im going to be extending the swinger 6 inches and extending the A arms a wee bit to compensate.... i think it will be pretty fun... im going to make it look like it came that way from the factory...... also going to get a moose lighting coil for it so i will be able to have head lights and ride it at night... also throwing on a hudro brake kit... and upgradeing the headlight to the new set up that the neweer blasters have...... i think it will perform pretty dam well with an 95 YZ 250 engine... also she is getting a full pipe and port job along with an after market set of reeds and reed cage... ill keep yah posted.. when i start the project this winter... im still getting the pieces i need to start... the project...

Wow Brian its been forever since you've posted here.

I think a TRI-Z or 84/85 Tecate motor in a Blaster chassis would be pretty slick. Pass on that 750 Blaster if it needs any work at all. I'd have to hear it run and drive it before I buy it.

Wow Brian its been forever since you've posted here.

I guess so!! Almost 2 years, where you been?

[TRI-Zbrian]

lol well actually there is an update on the blaster deal... that fell through turns out the blaster i had in mind has been sold... so im back to looking for another tri z to build... sorry i have been gone for a long time i have been very very bizy... but i stilll visit the sight all the time... alot of it has been lack of a computer to be on here as much as i used to... i try to sneak a peak when ever i can... im in between jobs and times are a little tuff for me right now so bare with me guys...

[devildog_0431]

LOL...just like my cousins crotch rocket w/ tri-z front end and swing w/ 850cc motor. $500, lol. Definately check that bike out *Edited**Edited* buying, id ride it and ride it more and look at every detail cuz that's alotta motor that could tear something up quick. Can u take some pics for us ?

[HELLONWHEELS]

OK guys havent been on the forum for a bit..I did nto get any pics and did not buy it..It needed a few things that seemed impossible and i want to ride now not latter so i passed up and am currently working on buying a other blaster
