Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. Never knew it existed or I would have joined a long time ago. As my profile states, I was raised on my dads 88 blaster (bought new in winter of 88) and fell in love with it. It was bone stock back then and I started out on it when I was about 8 years old and could reach the shifter. Fast forward to now when I'm 22 years old and we still have the old 88 blaster. It is no longer stock, but a high performance beast in my opinion. Me and my dad spent a lot of quality time working on it over the years and I have gradually adopted it as my own. It has undergone 3 top end rebuilds and are about to perform its second bottom end rebuild. It has gradually made its way up to bored 50 over (i think), milled head, aftermarket reeds (not sure on brand), toomey b1 pipe, silencer, filter, and air box vents, and numerous jet kits. I'm probably forgetting something but needless to say, its been built over the years and is a beast. It most recently is down until we get time to rebuild the bottom end because apparently the oil drain plug was not on tight enough and it lost all its oil one ride without me noticing until it made the awful noise of fried bearings and the inability to shift. Just thought I'd introduce myself to fellow blaster lovers. I plan on keeping posted on all work we do and any questions I have.
