Take a look at this blaster that is for sale..

i think someone has raced it with as much trouble tht has been done to it i think i spy a tether killswitch and it is quite wide so maybe some one raced it the front tires are some sort of mx kind????? not saying tht he did but someone MIGHT have
 
Definitely different. Worth a lil less than 500 bux. Also, could be a 240 kit on it. Go check it out.
 
Don't think I'd drive to far to see that one ... DIY extended a-arms & some kinda link swingarm ... bet ya find some farm cooked weldin there :)
 
That's looks to be an iffy deal there. Get him down a little and the motor may be worth it. That home fab job would have to checked out real good in person. It may end up being good workmanship that performs well?
 
I looks like a P.O. improved the quad and then someone ended up with it that destroyed it. It's not likely that the person who went to the effort of doing the work and abandoning the components. It would be interesting (though, probably impossible) to know it's history. I do see it with Blasters, more than any other model, that the owner knows nothing about what he's got. I saw a "98" today with red frame, white plastic, red graphics, headlight in the hood, key in the fender and full hydro's Yamaha Blaster 250cc .

BTW, scotj77, your quad looks awesome. It's the little details like red headlight housing, red "Yamaha" & ring on the side cover and gas cap that sets it off.
