I would check out Raptorforum. Lots of talk about 450 shocks on that site. I can't remember the specifics on the shocks but I think the 08+ (like I have on my raptor) are totally adjustable but mine aren't LT shocks. I think the LT versions were on the "R" model but I can't remember.

Where the hell is the engine??

I doubt anyone else is running a PVC Dr Seuss set up lol so any jetting advice will be guesses. I would plug chop it and see for yourself. Also I would try to straighten the design out. That set up will cause turbulence. Air and water flow very much alike. Think how water would flow through what...

ah, my apologies. still learing about these machines :D

about an hour south of louisville kentucky. there are several kx's and yz's on there right now for 2k. f'n crazy

I had a 93 kx80 when I was in 8th grade and actually traded it for the blaster I was working on. I miss that little 80. Bikes like what you sold are going for $1k plus all day with the 2000 models being around $1500 where I live.

Do the stockers have any adjusting ability? 2" extension means added leverage that will need to be compensated for by stiffening up the shock. Nothing wrong with bumping an old thread. I give the fella props for looking I:I

Thought these were DC systems?

Do yourself a favor and inspect them periodically. I found cracks in almost all mine. Company offered me another set but not the refund I asked for.

I'm glad to hear those studs haven't broke yet and I hope they never do. But when they do it won't be a matter of "if" you get hurt, it will be how severely you "are" hurt. Think about it Buddy. Wrecking is a part of riding this is true. But I myself would rather be safe than sorry and not...

Good info. And its a money pit, I mean Yamaha Raptor 660. You can't tell from the picture but a blaster and raptor are quite different in the front.

what are the bolt on options for the rear? what others will bolt up to the fronts?

i have quite a bit of experience on this subject with my raptor. A-arms and an axle is the best way to widen an atv. period. flipping the front wheels will give you more width but at a cost, bumpsteer. bumpsteer sucks and since you are looking for width for turns i can only assume you are...

very cool build. will certainly be checking back in

alright guys, im sorry ive been gone so long. i work in the heating and air field as a service tech and business has been busier than ever for the past couple months. i actually ended up selling (giving away IMO) the blaster for $350. had a ton of extras to go with the bike. clutch and front...
