Well I got my first blaster about 3 weeks to a month ago. While I did not tear the whole thing down, I've done a TON of work to it. It came with, and FMF gold series fatty witha power core 2 silencer, Boysen reeds, K&N air filter, bored over 2mm, TORS and oil injection delete, 01 shocks, 00 motor, old crappy pillow top grips, Renthal bars and foam, Moose Racing nerf bars and nets, DG front bumper, and body and swinger skids. When I first got it:

The kid I bought it from said he got it from a guy who used it for oval track racing, so it has a 4 inch spacer in the back right. I flipped the spacer around to the outside of the rim to get it back to stock width becaue I was hooking to many bushes and saplings with the axle. The front fenders and gas tank cover were painted rattle can black, it was chipping and they painted over some stickers so my friend and I striped the paint back down to the yellow plastics. After that we wet sanded the whole thing with 500 git paper to get the skuffs and other crap we missed. Going back to the racing aspect the quad had no lights or any remneants of light (i.e. brackets, switches) at all. I went out and got some wally world lights and put them on, along with an O.E.M. healight switch on the handlebars. I also picked up a trailer markerlight for a tail light. I got the strongest double sided tape I could find and threw it on the back of the air box. I just found out it was working tonight when I was out riding around. It must be connected to the headlights some how because when I turn the headlights on it turns on, but when I have the lights off it dosent turn on. I DUNNO! I took the nerfs to my friends to get bead blasted. I then painted them and the body skid with Duplicolor Bed Armor in a can. I also got an air box lid and snorkle and new rear brake pads. Here it is in the middle of everything:

The only thing different is I flipped the lights so they were on the top of the fenders because the lights were right behind the bumper. The only thing it needs now is a carb rebuild and to be re jetted. Tell me what you think! Constructive critisisum is welcomed!
