Best yamaha out there that I know of lol. Post up some more info like what needed to be made and/or modified to stuff that engine in there. How's it handle all that awesomeness? What year engine and quad?

I had to modify the frame. I wanted to make it so I didn't have to chop up the pipe to make it work. Also so I could run a full radiator in the frame. It all fits but is tight. The motor is a 94 kx that I rebuild from top to bottom last year. Than early this year on a ride I hit a tree. Screwed up the bike. Anyway, the blaster is a 96 that was modified prior by me to run a cr125. It ran good but I needed more. Since I didn't have the money or time to rebuild the bike, I sold the roller and built the blaster to hold the kx. I made a 2 piece front mount to make more room to install and remove it. Had my brother in law take it for a shake down before I tore it apart to finish. Said it rides great, lots of power but needs some tweaks to get on the pipe faster. Here is a pic of the modified frame in its current condition. I made all my gussets and have them taped in place. Welding the in this weekend.

I'm also thinking ab out trying some hare scrambles with it next year.

Modifying a pipe is a pain in the a$$. I ended up spending a couple months learning the ins and outs of expansion chambers so I could modify one to fit in my K5 LT250 combo also known as "Goatzilla" If I had to do it again I would build a pipe from scratch or make the frame fit the pipe like you are.

Where are you located? I'd run scrambles with ya either on the KDX4 or Goatzilla.

I'm located in michigan. I'm going to invest in tooling to make or modify frames to do more hybrids.

I'm in the Bay City/Midland area. We should get together for some riding or building. Next project is going to be a long travel suspension single seat gocart with a ridiculous size engine in it. Just not sure what engine I want to go with yet lol.

I'm in east lansing. Bay City is a bit far but I do go up that way to ride. I do a lot of riding in mio trails

I spend most of my riding time in West Branch/Rose City area at Ogemaw Sport And Trail. It's a great place and the owners are very nice.

Quad looks excellent

Hit me up before your next trip up this way. I'll bust out the KDX4 and Goatzilla anytime.

[bansheedave]

Heck yeah, I'll let you know. I've been to ogemaw sport and trail. Nice place to ride track. I don't ride track anymore but I do trail ride.
