Well, I saw this site and looked it over one day...and other than having a Raptor on the main logo, I was ok with it! (j/k) I thought this site was perfect for me, because I have a Blaster. (duuuuhhh!!) However, mine is in pieces at the moment. It's in what I like to call a "refresh" One day I started pulling it all apart in an effort to re-paint the 4 colored frame and make it new again. I got the Blaster as a gift from my super-cool dad. (he let me take it apart with no concerns) And he helped me here and there, but Iv'e done a good deal of the work. (Dissasembly, sanding, paint, etc.) I should be getting a set of used stock shocks and a carburetor (mine is stripped where the cap screws on and locks the throttle in place) for X-mas. I also went and picked out a new GMax 46x (future design) helmet in XL...I gotta a big head. I go to my dad's every other weekend, so i should be finished at x-mas...but this is what i have so far.Let me start by saying, I have always desired passionately for a project...so, this winter I found one.
The project I found was right under my nose, my 1995 Yamaha Blaster I had gotten for a birthday gift one year. It was in good running condition, but was rather ugly, to put it bluntly. I have a picture of when I first got the ATV, but it is from a Polaroid 600. (Very bad quality) I may upload a picture of the picture later. Then, for Christmas, I got a new set of fenders...mostly, the rears got back ordered. I later got the rears, as well as a new seat. The frame, suspension, and other aspects were, however, still rough. My dad said that he would probably get me a new set of front shock absorbers, (used; stock) for Christmas this year. One day I looked at the ATV and contemplated tearing it down and refreshing it, painting the frame, painting the engine, installing the shocks, (when I get them) and etc. One weekend at my dad's I did it. I started removing the bodywork and eventually got it down to a roller before I left for home. This past weekend, I got some paint on a lot of the bike. I figure I'll be done by Christmas, right when I (hopefully) get my parts. The color scheme is silver frame with black a-arms/frames and swing arm. I will followup the build with each subsequent addition to the progress. And these are the pictures thus far: (Note: I have done a lot of the work myself)
Before:
With new front fenders:
As it was with new rear fenders/seat/tires:
Now:
The above words might sound weird, because i pasted them from another sote i had it posted on...o yeah, i'm 14, live in kentucky, and love to ride 2-strokes...yamaha forever, blaster for life...(or until i can get my hands on a banshee!) O yah, someone plz post so i can upload the rest of my pics.
