KarterPhil's 02 rebuild

Hmmmm. contemplating these, they're just so much money though despite being on offer :D
Blaster 200 +3 up 1 Pro X Racing A-Arms & Elka Shocks By American Star | eBay
Hey man that was the arms and shocks i wanted but went for +3 herrmann long travel A-arms with YFZ450R front shocks 18.25 ete, only set me back £365 for the lot

Got the shocks YFZ450R 2009 second hand off ebay for £45 £65 delivered in perfect working order am sure there is a few sets on there just now,

If you decided you want to go with ASR A-arms make sure you get the YFZ450 front shock as they are 16.25 ete

I made that mistake but still managed to get a set to take they long ass shocks

Hope this helps you out mate ;-)

Quick update, decided to get some normal nerfs and mod the blasters rear foot guard by ditching the goofy steel plate with big holes on them in favour for some ally tread plate bent up behind the guard for a heel guard XFR pro pegs are nearly £300 or $480 inc shipping over here !! plus i can fab up some sick looking guards anyway and i want it to be as custom as i can make it :D

p.s. Ive attached a newspaper extract with the sister quad of my friends yfz450 ("Twigster" on the forum) on it for you to drool over ;) i read they cost £30K to build, each! ENJOY I:I

i would get them but i have now started to make my heelguards and i think theyre gonna look sick, leave me a nice £100 more in my pocket to play with ;)

Update: I have decided to ditch the search for a bargain tm34 and have got myself a keihin pj34 instead for only £50 rather than £150 for a mikuni.
