hey guys. picked up this blaster thanksgiving weekend and have since been working on it every weekend to get her rebuilt. when i got it she was in ROUGH shape to say the least. the piks should show that. i got it for 100 bucks not running. got it running. then the top end went. so. i tore it down to bare frame and built it back up. ive spent roughly 600 dollars between paint, new bolts, lights, plastics, and all the mods in my sig. its been rough but FINALLY after a new coil, stator, and cdi she was up and running last night and starts with only one kick. anyways. on to the picks. ill post them in order from start to finish. and also. im not completely done with it. i need to paint the a-arms the hammertone black to match the swinger and get some shock covers. comments and criticisms welcome.

and btw for anyone wondering. i fully plan on gusseting that lower shock mount. wont be needed. but. i would feel safer and it would look better if it was. the tube is fully welded on the bottom of the swinger.
 
as said above. there going to get gusseted. but. its welded solid. its not going ANYWHERE. im not doing jumps and stuff either. im just a trail rider so it should be just fine once gusseted
 
way to go bro, lookin good, and i was gonna suggest the shock mount, but you got it
 
Now that I look at it, it look liked you drilled a hole through the swinger, and pun at bolt through the swinger and then through the shock. Looks good though. It looks like a different bike.
 
thanks guys. yeah. i rode it for 3 hours today. its full of mud. it did great. got a few problems tho. if you wanna call them that. when i get going fast for some reason it smokes more. and then when my big ass sits on it it makes some type of rattle sound.im not sure if its the chain or what. its adjusted correctly. but when my buddy sits on it who's half my size it wont do it. i need to put the rear up in the air and sit on it while its in gear and see if we can figure it out. its annoying as sh*t. anyways. thanks for the comments
