The Warrior A-arms are not going to come close to working on the Blaster. The Warrior A-arms are wider at the mounts than the Blaster has room on the frame for.

If you go to trengaracing.com, they have pictures that outline the use of Banshee front spindles and brakes. The Warrior's setup is close to the Banshee, but not exactly. You can still use the pictures though to figure out how to make them work.

THe new 2003 blasters have hydrolic disc brakes on them and they also have a new front fender and handle bars. You may bea able to buy the brakes when the model comes out. Go to www.yamaha-motor.com
to see it

Thanks KNOWSALOT I will try to make this work, I remeber hearing of some one using Banshee brakes on a Blaster. Since I have the parts thought I would try them.

Thanks , I have put the Warrior Rotors on the Blaster Spindles. They fit just right, I am trying to fabricate some way to mount the calipers on now. I will share this with all if I am successful in the venture.

You need a set of spindles from a banshee or from the warrior. They should bold right up to your A-arm ball joints. Also check out Trenga Racing Eric Trenga showed me their new front kit which is from a banshee. It's the rotor, caliper and spindle from a shee. fron that point you just need the brake lines and the master cylinder with the lever.
If you buy the kit from Eric Trenga you get everything needed.
