i had bought a 1999 honda 300ex with a 2001 motor doe 200 dollars not running, i bought tons of stuff trying to figure it out and never got it running... i was still looking at stuff to buy for it when a guy was riding by and stopped on a 2002 all stock blaster with no brakes and bald balloon tires. he offered to trade me even and i took him up on it. i only had about 100-150 in the 300ex so i basically got a 2002 blaster for 450 dollars. first i put on new brakes all around then bought a set of aluminum rims with the shredder tires on them i have now. after tons of work you can see how my blaster currently sits in my sig. i probably should mention the guy i traded tried pulling the 300ex to get it started and after about 15 mins of pulling it dropped a valve and destroyed it all in the same day haha... afterwards he poured gas all over it and set fire to it, funniest thing i've ever seen.
i am 4500 into my blaster and still not satisfied. it still has tons of problems (no brakes AGAIN except for very weak back mechanical brakes that need adjusting every ride, no chain rollers so chain rubs frame, swingarm shock mount on my +4 was drilled too big so i welded some washers to it (washers not a perfect fit but pretty damn close and i don't trust my welding skills so i'm considering a new +4 swinger), could use back tires, front spindles drilled out to a tight but not perfect fit, can't decide between 14/41 gearing or 13/41, and it doesn't have as much power as i want it to i want it to pick up the front wheels easier it gets up and gets gone quick and good but just doesn't have the same feel as before extending). as for stuff i want i would like it to have awk rear brakes, front brake lines for my banshee hydros, new tires, some port work, some spindles that are a perfect tight fit, different headlight (no more walmart lights after my experiences with them and i don't love the look of the stock light).
