Awesome dude. That should rip. After all the influence from 245 I am selling my SMS A Arms, and getting the chrome ones off of the pink bike I am helping SMS part out. I think I am going to bling it up with a similar color scheme. I thought long and hard about my all black setup I envisioned, and it would be hot as hell on a hot summer day. Blue would be much cooler. So that is my reasoning. I am gonna make my quad look pimp now. I might send out my swinger to get plated. I am also buying a set of Elkas from them. So we have one set for sale still. If you haven't checked it, check out the for sale thread I posted with all the SMS stuff. Thanks guys. Let me know if you need anything else!

I can't wait til your build is done! I stripped my blaster pretty good last night, now I just have to get the stem, front fenders, a-arms, electrical harness, and swinger off. Then its off to the sandblaster!
I figured I would give you guys an update. I finished all the frame fab work last weekend, and I dropped it off to the powdercoat guy on Sat. He told me I got about 2 weeks to wait. So in the mean time. I have to put this on hold, and work on other things. Like getting my engine back together, which is boring so I am not going to update anything on that. I think everyone here has had a blaster motor apart once or twice. I am switching out my A Arms because 245 stroker's influence will be seen. So I am going with SMS +5 +1s in chrome. Also it ain't gonna be all black like I initially envisioned. I am also going Elka three way adj. all around. All I need now is to build my airbox, purchase the DR bumper, rear tires, and assemble. I picked up a few other things already, but I am going to keep them a surprise.
We don't like surprises, lets hear what you got instore!!! Lol. But seriously, can't wait to see what it looks like.
My Chrome A Arms might be sold.
No biggie though, I might just have the black ones chromed down the road if they do sell. That way I can get the factory fresh chrome. Thanks for all the kind words guys. As for the secrets, I'll keep you guys in suspense. I may barrow a frame from Shawn so I can start fabbing my airbox while mine is out. It will be nothing the quad industry has seen before. That's the big surprise.
Well guys the chrome A Arms did sell. I have a ton of parts sitting here to go on the frame when it comes back from the coater hopefully this week. I also picked up another frame, I am going to start working on. This first one is just going to be the test bed, for what is to come. I decided to peruse my YZ250 motor ideas, the new frame will be for that. Once I'm going to race the Blaster setup until I finish the swap in the other frame. So I am looking for a 02 up yz250 engine now. I'll get you guys some progress pics soon, I've just been hella busy at work. My friend came up with the genius idea to make the yz250 motor work in the blaster frame. We are going to have the crank balanced to cancel out the vibes.
Yeah man, the 02 up yz250s make 46hp stock. Should be plenty to pwn some 4 strokes. I am still going to build a blaster motor in the interim. The yz250 swap is kinda a long term goal. I'd actually like to piece together a whole quad out of my spare parts when I do the swap, and make 2 blasters.
I rode it for the first time since I stripped it last night. f*cker rips! I bought a +4mm stroker debored, national MX race motor from SMS. It's been 11 years since I had my 250R, but I don't remember it ever being quite so savage. I'll get pics soon, but I need to get my beadlocks back from the machinst, and too the powdercoater. It looks kinda goofy now. It's all raced out, with these wheels and tires that look like something some hillbilly got at TSC. Well at least I got some balleur wheels on the front. I may take pics anyway. I still need to fab my airbox, but other than that and the tires it is done, and I am very happy with it!
I am going to get her dynoed with my k&n filter setup for now. I brought the materials to the shop today to fabricate the airbox. I still have to buy a few more items. I think it will be worth the wait, you'll see. I have only ripped on it on a few short bursts behind the strip mall where I work. I tapped out 5th with a quickness in the length of the strip mall. It rides like it is on air. It is crazy. I cannot wait to jump it. I took the springs out today, and measured my travel. I have 12" up front, and 11" out back. I love this setup. I cannot wait to start putting it through it's paces.
