My Complete Build

[JJ660]

Hey all, new to the board, found it after I got a 200? Yamaha Blaster off Craigslist for $100. I have been trying to find a nice machine for my wife to keep her off my Raptor, LOL, but I came across this machine. I got the frame, and everything else is in a box, but missing the body. With the exception of the motor, it needed put back together. This is the first from the frame build I have done and I love it so far. Here are some pics of the newly painted frame while it was baking in the Iowa sun. I will be on a lot with some updates, and LOTS of questions. I:I

[austin]

judging by how nice his build is so far. he does not want your broken faded purple plastics...

 

[JJ660]

I really appreciate the offer on the plastics. however I bought a full set off of EBay and they are supposed to be here anyday now. I do need a good carb, nerfs/pegs, exhaust.

Yep - my blues got here yesterday late in the day. Got em sitting on the frame, cant wait till I can mount for good. Love the black frame and wheels against the blue.

brandoz28-I am in Jefferson, or 30 miles from Ames and Des Moines in Western Iowa. IM me on the exhaust.

I will post pics Sunday night after our race of any updates - I just traded my best friend for his front shocks off another bike. I am gonna see if they will work and if so, I will let everyone know and share thoughts and pics.

Feel free to IM if you have anything for sale that might be an assist to my build. Note: I am building it right, but on a budget-build mentality so I apologize that I dont have a big budget if you have nice, high dollar equipment I may not be able to afford.

Why did you switch from the shearer?

 

[JJ660]

Well its amazing how quick life can change. My wife was injured at work, has since lost her job in a sh*tty way and we are in bad financial shape. I need to sell this machine, so if there is anyone interested in buying I will sell. I sure dont want too as I am really enjoying working on it in between race projects. So, if you are interested hit me up with an offer and you might be surprised what I would take. I am located in Central Iowa, but I would do anything to assist anyone if they wanted to ship somehow. THanks for all the advice and best wished when I started...
