widening a blaster

[Blaster21]

i just picked up a 2002 blaster and its all stock. i would like to widen the front and back up quite a bit. is there any other A arms and swing arms that i can get off another quad that will bolt right on it that will make it wider and longer. i dont want to spend much or i would just buy aftermarket ones.

I'd go with aftermarket stuff. Check E bay.

well...i have said this on here before.... when you buy your rims, you have offsets.... the stock back offset on a blaster is like 3-5... the front number being the measurment from the outside of the rim to where it sits on the axle. the second being the inside of the rim to were it sits on the axle...this is a small, "free" triock you may youse to widen your rear stance 2 inches on each side...maybe you already heard this before? but you can flip your rear rims around, and offset it to the outside...this will give you two inches extra per side...the only down side, is you will have your valve stems on the inside rather than the outside....this will not work on the front for obvious reasons...if you flip the front rims, the valve stem will catch on the brake rotor....but its free..and something i have done from time to time...

You can flip your front rims on the 02 and older Blasters, I have it done on mine. 03 and up and they will hit the rotors.

[bfulton620]

bout 2 inches on each side...haha...did you read what i wrote? haha......

[bfulton620]

oh...maybe you were asking bout the front? the front will give you 2 inches each side, i believe...if the offset is the same as mine...

[02yamahablaster]

Yeah I think it's about 2 inches each side on the front also.
