Thought i'd help out people new to blasters.
First blaster was made in 1988 and from 88' up untill 2002 there designed stayed the same. EVERY PART ABOUT IT! From the engine, to suspension, all the same, all compatable.
From 03 and up a few things changed! Hydrolic rear brake replaced the old mechanical rear system, so this also changed some mounting points on the frame for the resevoir and piston, brake pedal changed, carier changed BUT NOT SWINGARM! As well as front hydrolic brakes, includes different spindles, front hubs and then you have the new calipers and disks as well as cables and the master cylinder/brake lever.
88-02's Plastics remained the same but from 03 and up the front nose piece changed and mounted the headlight as part of it underneath.
Electrical! a few electrical components changed. Different CDI as well as a different wiring diagram with different wires so try to keep wiring split up from the 88-02s and the 03+'s to stay away from headaches.
03+ started welding the shift star onto the shift drum (this is inside the clutch cover side)
2003+ Blaster
1988-2002 Blaster
So there you have it. Simple but effective.
If there was anything i may have missed that i should add to it, just post and ill put it in there
