2005 Blaster Rebuild

[dirtysquared]

I am still hunting and gathering, or as AWK would say "Raping and Pillaging", off the $350 Blaster. I put the Razr's and Rims on, along with the front bumper. I'm so happy that I'm finally getting this thing to look like I want.

About All I have left to get is ASR+3 +1's, +3 swinger, some sort of a better rear shock, an Aggressive Trail port, and Re-configured head. I hope I'm all done by spring when it starts warming back up.

I like this Pic

It looks like the back is wider than the front. Try flipping the front wheels or you may need to get some spacers

nice I need to find a cheap one to pillage for front tires and plastics

Thanks for catching that Wifes. I just put my 4' t-square down an its 1 3/4" narrower in the front. I might have to take off my rear wheel spacers. These rims must have some sort of offset in them.

at tax time maybe I can invest in some flips again

 

[Wifesblaster]

Looks like the rear rims are 3+5 offset. You should be able to flip the rears or flip the fronts. I would flip the fronts if your valve stems will clear the calipers. If not just flip the rears and you'll be good.

I couldn't resist. I took it for a spin down over the hill and across the strip mines. I never realized how bad the stock front shocks really were untill they were gone. Where I normally bounce all around on the strips, I pretty much just glided across. The rear is still a bit jumpy, but thats getting taken care of soon. I saw a guy on a UTV on the strips, he said my quad looks nice. That made me feel awesome! I can't wait to get it finished and start riding regularly again in the spring.

I talked with Ken O'connor this morning about the porting and head mod I won. This bikes journey to being complete is getting closer I:I Thanks Ken, You have helped make my Dream of having a good solid Blaster that much closer. I can thank you 1000 times and it still isn't enough. But once again THANK YOU!!!

I pulled the Motor tonight, and got everything ready to ship tomorrow night after I get off work. I keep walking in and out of the garage and Its funny seeing The Blue Flagship a roller!!

 

[Wifesblaster]

Awesome! You will be more than happy when you get it back together. It will be like going from a riding lawn mower to a top fuel dragster! Maybe not that drastic, but you get the idea.

Those plastics look great. Nice job on the build. Looking forward to the report when you get your top end back from Ken.

 

[dirtysquared]

Thanks Bummer! I will definitly give the details.

My top end is in the mailI:I While I have everythng apart I finally changed the clutch cover gasket today. I also polished the Yamaha circle on the cover. I went and touched up a few rust spots on my frame also.

 

[Wifesblaster]

Nice. Can't wait to get a ride report.

 

[harley1-5]

I bet it really will rip soon
