Looks to all be there. What's all wrong with the blaster's?

This one has surface rust on the frame so we stripped it down. Engine cranked 140psi but I haven't leak checked it.

Managed to get it stripped down to just the frame.

That looks good!

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say find lime green plastics.
I believe the Kawasaki Mojave rear fenders fit fairly easily, but I don't know if they make green plastics for the front...or in general with the Blaster styling.
