That's not the only origin...

The DT200 sleeve, clutch cover and most of the transmission components.

The MX175 cylinder casting and center cases with a little more oddball 70's yamaha dirtbike/enduro bike's mixed into it.

I am sure most people know that the blasty motor was designed to be water cooled ....I just havnt really seen a picture of the motor, I thought it was cool to see one mounted on a bike

Yep, you gotta goto Aus and Canada, South America ebays and sniff around .....but I would love to have one.... 32hp bone stock vs 17hp blasty, different compression ratio's and gearing and from what I gather the the only modification needed is the rear mount needs to be reemed out a littleI:I
