YZ426 Blaster

[Paulie B]

Hey guys. Thanks 2 all that welcomed me. I guess this thread will be my weigh in. I bought this Blaster as a roller for $200. I then ran across a 79' YZ400 motor. What I didn't know at the time was this was a rare motor with parts no where to be found. I put them together and came up with this.

A sleeper. Stock looking right down to the un-hooked oil tank. It was fast, but looked like butt, shocks sucked, brakes didn't work, bald tires.
I fixed the rear cable paperweight brake with a Hydo CBR600RR brake. Also pirated the rotor and pedal assembly.
rotor. Stock on left CBR on the right.

Joined together

I flipped the caliper and fabed a bracket.

The whole brake set-up done and fixed for good.



Next came a vintage DG pipe.

ran it sideways

Done.

From there I added 06' YFZ450 shocks f&r that I got as a complete set.
+4 swinger came too because wheelie's all the time got old. New tires and an airbox for good measure.

man that thing looks badass in that last pic of the side view. very nice job on the whole bike. that rear brake setup is pretty nice.

but just wondering, do you have much trouble with vibration from the motor?

Very very nice project. Impressive rotor BTW. You could propably make some money off the design...Id push for a patent! but that is a very very clean install. Im quite impressed with the plastic too!
