I've always wanted to build one from the ground up, my way, my colors, my mods.. so I finally took the opportunity. Got these two frames and 2 crates of bolts and random parts;

Got a full engine with it that I'm tearing down. Has a 240 cylinder I:I

Needs a pretty wicked overhaul though;

Aircraft remover is so fun to play with!

good luck with the project. going to be nice knowing that you built the thing from the ground up so you dont have to worry about hidden problems :)
 
So, what are your plans color wise/mods?

Colors - Still up in the air with that. I want a dark colored frame with lighter arms and swinger, but I change my mind about it almost daily. For the frame, I'm zeroed in on a midnight metallic purple-ish, or a deep royal purple flake.

Mods..omg haha. Just check in on here once in awhile and see!

good little project.


pics of the grey hatch in the background? lol

Lol that's my friend Brian's 93 EG that he's gonna be selling soon. Here's some pics of his cars.

The Integra is freakin AWESOME though - Here's the build currently underway for the Integra.


Or what looks to be a nice little talon in the first pic.......

Lol That's his 2001 Integra. He actually just bought a white Talon, but no pics of that anywhere yet. We're much more into cars than we are ATV's right now. The Talon is pretty new so he's still whipping it into shape. However, if you're interested, here's what I mess with when I'm not screwing around with the Blaster.

cool, interested to see how it turns out

Thanks, me too! I'm sure it won't be any comparison to what a lot of you guys have done, I just enjoy learning about it and accomplishing something new :p

If a problem arises, I know there'd be nobody to blame but myself. That way, I won't go home and abuse my woman.

Kidding.

Put it on my existing Blaster to test it out, and learned the hard way not to wear shorts with this puppy;

Sorry if PhotoBucket hasn't resized it, though you can see all the burn detail at the original 1800x2300 resolution lol!

Going with a 6-pack rack for a gas tank, snagged a 2003+ seat, and gonna be using my Factory 7 pipes on the new bike;

Using a 34mm Mikuni, and picked up some '03+ foot pegs;

Stay tuned for engine work...
 
Lol cant believe you really wanted those "ugly" nerf bars :p Glad I threw those in for free lol you mite decide not to use them after your blasty is all hot and up and running lol

Build is look great buddy :) Glad to help you out!! Cant wait to see her all done!!!
 
Glad to see your doing a thread, finally glad to know all those parts are going to be put to use ... thx for the shoutout.

Anyway, I noticed you stripped your frame, I would suggest you gusset your frame before painting it is a must in my opinion. If you need plans I posted a thread awhile back that's a sticky in the DIY.

Anyway tuned in for your build man.I:I

That's a great idea! I don't ride TOO hard but a little extra reinforcement can't ever be a bad thing. I haven't been able to do much lately due to a job switch, but I wonder how hard this would be to do on my own? Doesn't seem like much more than welding and geometry can go into it?
