before and after

[Duane87]

this is the start of my blaster project.
so far i have repainted the plastic in a black satin and repainted the rims to a gloss red. planning on taking it to the track and trails this weekend to see how the painting holds up.
ive got a set of rear hydro brakes on order and am planning on ordering an exhaust soon.(suggestions welcome!)
the guy i bought it from already removed the oil injection so im running pre mix 32:1 thx to the many posts ive read on this site.
i see my pics are showing up side ways...will work on that for any additional i post in the future

red looks better than the lime green. is that all you painted?

 

[Duane87]

i painted the plastics also, i know it doesnt really look like it in the photos. i think the guy i bought it from was going for a monster energy look.

 

[JonS]

oh, i see the plastic now that i went back and looked. it does look much better as a whole.

 

[Duane87]

its getting there. i think i might want to chase down a hood like yo have on yours. do you know if something like that will fit mine?

 

[blasterBruce]

Yes they fit , Just have to Make some brackets for the 03+ up Hood , Looks Better after you painted a few things , Welcome to the Site !

eBay usually has 2003 - 2006 style hoods for sale. Looks good so far

A Member On here Is Selling a Carbon Fiber 03 hood I Believe

 

[nboldman]

yes an 03+ hood will fit, but modifications will need to be taken for the light. i have one on mine and am working on finding a light.

 

[Duane87]

[Blaaster]

As to the exhaust, what style of riding do you want it to suit?

Where do you want your power, low revs or high?

Are you looking for grunt or speed?

 

[doodleaddict]

welcome to the site and i agree red rims look better

 

[Duane87]

i mainly ride trails. im told there is a track up the road a bit and want to check it out soon. i would like to set my wheeler up for track riding, pending how good the track i check out is.

Fast track, slow track, flat track, MX track?????????

Different pipe, different sprockets, different tyres.

All play a big part in setup.

I use a low/mid pipe, 3 sprocket sets and 2 sets of rear tyres. Mainly fo MX, but with some flat track thrown in.

 

[Duane87]

WOW!!!! man im in way over my head!! ill have to get to the track and check it out. im not planning on traveling to far to race. i think im going to get with a few friends that live close and hang with them. they both ride LTR 450's (i think) so im not looking to keep up with them just hold my own withot buying a different machine

 

[doodleaddict]

I would start with a midrange pipe and go from there until you find your "niche"

 

[blasterBruce]

There's so many different rider types here that's why there's such good info and Ideas , I Liked this site the first day I found it !
