    Stiff suspension

    Took the Blaster to Waynoka to the dunes. Ran great, but the front shocks even at the loosest setting are so stiff it just beat the hell out of me. Anything a guy can do to loosen the front end up a little so it absorbs a little more of the bumps?

    Jetting with lid

    Been playing with my Blaster project I just got finished. I jetted way up because it had seized and was concerned that maybe it was too lean. Now I think it may have had an air leak. Anyway I am running a PWK 28 with standard needle that comes in it (forget the number right off hand), Toomey B1...

    Blaster grab bar

    Dumb question, but are Blaster grab bars offset to the right? Bought a cheap $41 grab bar on E-Bay. Bolt it up and it is offset to the right and looks odd to me. Fully funtional and was able to mount one of my spare Banshee tail lights to it, just looks odd.

    Need Blaster grab bar

    Looking for a rear grab bar for my Blaster project. Bone stock would be just fine but looking for one that is straight and nice. Needs to have tail light mount and flag tabs. Cheaper is better as always.

    My project Blaster

    So here it is finally. I didn't get photos of it before tear down because it was originally a paid project for someone else. I ended up with it and the project is on. Still lots of cleaning to do. The fenders and gas tank are all in the plastic bags and have been cleaned...

    Value of a parts Blaster

    Found a complete Blaster for $200. It runs but the rod and crank are loose. It is all stock in every way. Steel wheels and the original or original style tires. Anyway I was contemplating buying it for some of the parts I need for mine then parting it out. Is $200 a fair price or should I look a...

    Reed spacer block

    2002 Blaster fresh overhaul. It has an aluminum reed spacer block that came with the parts when I got it. It pretty much has to be in the mix so the intake boot can reach the carb. Anyway should the spacer be between the jug and reed cage or between the reed cage and the carb adapter.

    Blaster dilema (kind of long)

    Need some advice. Got myself into something and not sure how to handle it. Here goes: This started 6 months ago. A guy I know and have ridden with contacted me about repairing a Blaster. Said he traded a motorcycle to his neighbor for it. I stopped at his house and picked it up. Got it home...

    Color scheme

    Anyone have a Blaster with all black plastics except the front fenders white? Did a google search and never found any with this scheme. Considering doing it on a 2002 Blaster but would like to know what it would look like before spending money on new stuff.

    Working on a Blasty for a friend. Has a Toomey B1 pipe and silencer, Keihin PWK 28, very nice port job but unsure of what the porting is set up for, and soon to be .020 over bore with Wiseco piston.

    Blaster brakes

    Went and looked at a supposed 2004 Blaster to buy. It is a basket case and I am concerned because some parts seem to be missing and some things don't add up for the year it is supposed to be. Anyway it has cable operated front brakes and had a hydraulic rotor on the rear. The caliper and...
