well im new here this is my first post, so let me introduce myself,
My name is rob im from poughkeepsie ny, im an everything automotive tech at a private shop. Anyways on to the good stuff
96 blaster frame aquired for free!
97 cbr600 aquired for 300$ (RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME TYPE THING)

And so the madness began.

serious cutting had to take place, as this thing just was not going to fit

and a lil teaser vid for ya


The only things i have left are to paint the plastics white and fit the seat,
unfortuanitly for me i only rode it twice, the second time i was in a parking lot of a warehouse a bit down the road from the shop drifting it when it hooked and i flew, the end result is a broken collar boneI:I, so im laid up for awhile.

And being the crazy fool i am, I tend to just barley finish a project then off it for another, so if anyone out there is interested i will take cash offer and trade offers for something equally as cool,\

Also im wonder the cheapest way to get this thing wider, maybe some of you blaster gurus can shed some light on that,

enjoy

wider is spacers in the front and a wider rear axle, g-force makes a +4 and thats pretty wide and its fairly cheap (i got mine for under 200) if you wanna spend for the wider a-arms you will be much happier though! oh and is that kick start or does it have a button because kicking over a cbr600 just seems mean.. :-p
 
I would think that if your able to cut and build a frame around that motor that you could come up with a way to make or extend your own a-arms. Plus those stock blaster shocks will really hurt the perfomance badly. In one of those pics above it looks like you had one wheel flipped around the other way making one side wider than the other.

I would say keep it man, simply because no one has one and it looks like you did a pretty good job on the fab work. I would just go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan for the suspension side of the project to really tie it all together.

Oh and street tires are a must!!!!

Badass none the less

yeah i thought about making a jig to extend the A arms but you know how it is, i just couldnt wait to get on it and ride!
both front wheels are flipped, it added maybe 2 in. to the front width.
im also thinkin about makin some upper shock mounts with pull pins to be able to switch from off road to on road with the pull of a pin you know.
