First blaster ever

i've had that idea, i'm gonna go get a tape measure in a minute to try to guestimate the best way of doing it
 
aight, had to take of the rear fenders, the wheels, and the handlebars but its outside and now loaded into the truck. the tires look smaller than they are but they've got no air in them lol.

yup...just need to hook up the cables again, and get the new clutch perch/lever tomorrow. hopefully i'll get my new chain adjusters and shee axle so i can put the rear brakes and stuff on.
 
i'll be keepin this hood for as long as i have this blaster. now i just gotta talk the gf into getting one too
 
well its definitely soggy in the bottom end with that huge carb, but man when it gets to the midrange its ready to go. i have an issue with the clutch, when i torque the nut down the center hub can't turn inside the basket. gonna tear it apart and try to flip that little conical washer around
 
well, after tearing it down for about the fifth time it looks like i've got a transmission problem...all i can find is like 3rd gear, it takes some clever clutch work to get it moving lol. looks like its time to split the cases and figure out what's going on
 
well the blaster is back in the naughty shed where i put sh*t that doesn't run/work right. gonna take a couple weeks off from working on it so that maybe i'll be a little more fresh when i work on it. my camaro is gonna get some much needed attention in the mean time
 
got some new stuff today, a pair of fast trekkers for the rear and a shee axle, got some ITP quadcross tires that look almost new for 50 bucks, waiting on those still, but anyway it'll look a TON better with the 18-20" tire combo than the 22's all around

got the last of the tax money goodies today, ITP Quadcross fronts with the tits still on them that i picked up for 50 shipped, and some stud style wheel spacers for the front to match my shee axle. now i just need to get the trans fixed, tires mounted, and go out and this thing it not going to live a very easy life for a while. its gonna be getting BEAT ON
 
Nice...
