Wow, probably my favourite Blaster I've ever seen. I:I
Are those Kenda Bear Klaws?

Re: Finally Ready For Dream Build ... Need Engine Suggestions
So I have ridden a bit during break-in and tuning and messin around on the street, feel confident in now starting to beat it up on the trails. Coming will be more full pics with the few decals I have left to put on (just some small stuff), and my full skid which I am brushing now (after building a new mount system)
My buddy has a white backdrop (he tells me) that he is going to let me use to wheel in and take pics in the the blaster before it gets f**cked up trail-riding. So look forward to those they should be sweet. I think those pics will be the ones for blaster of the month.
Also, as soon as I can I will upload a running video
And Yes to whoever asked, I just put on all the bearclaws as I plan on some crazy weather and trails as I start beating this thing up.
And to those who don't want to go back a page thinking I once again did not leave pics ...

Anyone who wants to vote for me ... BOTM is entered ... Thx to everyone who has helped along the way ... (too many to list) but it has been much appreciated and this Blaster would have never been finished without all the help this forum has provided.

Re: Finally Ready For Dream Build ... Need Engine Suggestions
So took the blaster out for it's first real trail ride today, I rallied it around pretty hard ... first, on the street for a bit then rode about 40 trail miles. It held up awesome, although it isn't so clean now. Few things, I'm still gettin used to how wide it is and the limit to which I can push it in the corners. Though it is much greater than before. Most importantly, with such a bigger wheelbase I am definitely going to need a stabilizer. The steering is heavier (i assume due to the width) but I had a few good rocks push back hard on the fronts and could feel more feedback? whatever though it was on the list to do.
Anyway, a nice side pic of it, out on the mountain today -
In case you wondering about the rear height the shock in the rear is dual springed to sag to where the frame is level ...

Are you still running a mostly stock motor?
It looks great. How is your suspension working out?

Re: Finally Ready For Dream Build ... Need Engine Suggestions
The casting flaws were cleaned and the exhaust port polished, the intake and inner reed cage were ported as well, but no cylinder porting yet, it'll be coming this winter.
I listed all the work in my BOTM entry though if you wanna see it all

Re: Finally Ready For Dream Build ... Need Engine Suggestions
Well, I have a plan. Not going with a stroker, but a mild trail port/head mod, Mikuni TM34, and Dynoport Pipe are planned for this winter. Probably December, there will be to much snow to ride here then anyway. Just wanted to get some riding in now.
I will say with the extremely improved throttle response and the torque I get from the gearing, for riding my regular trails it is set-up good, i'm never out of fourth/fifth anyway. My regular trail I ride is about 60 inches wide, rocky as hell (hence the tires) and climbs about 1200 ft elevation (so hilly). Anyway this is why I'n not going overboard on the motor, though the upgrade will be to kind of just fully round it out.
Also, They will be listed but if anyone wants to call dibs on my TM28, or DMC, the carb which was new (just scroll back a couple pages) will be 85$ and the DMC full system $150
And Thx Kronick for finally editing my Thread name
