I just got this blaster off of craigslist, I got it really cheap, but I didnt realize how ugly it was, it works great starts up easy but the plastics are nasty, no brakes, now well taken care of, I am leaning to getting rid of while it runs so good.....
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
by the way how to upload pictures?

are you kidding id rock the sh*t outa that. if it runs good make it look pretty with a 100 bucks you could find some cheap used plastics and a bumper and would look way better.
 
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder....

I agree with the others, lot's of potential there and you could easily clean that thang up for low $.

Looks like a keeper. Now go apologize to your new blaster for the "ugly" comment ;)
 
Yea definitely keep! ESPECIALLY IF SHE RUNS GOOD!!! If you got it cheap them just put lil bit of cash to makin her pretty :) different plastics and bumper and you will b glad you kept her!!! :)
 
Id take some cheap carb cleaner and a rag to the plastics and strip off the spray paint then polish them back up with a propane torch.I turned faded pink and spray painted plastics into shiny red presentable ones with a few hours work and less then $5 in supplies.the bumper is functional but ugly. Id build it nasty fast and Okay to look at, but im more of a function over form kinda guy.
 
Blind man would be glad to see it, WOT on the trails, no one would notice it. You don't look at the mantlepiece when stoking the fire.
 
I guess with all this support I'll keep it, but where is a good place to get some cheap used parts to replace the beat up stuff thats on it, like plastics handlebar, exhaust (it has none now) ???
 
oh, and since I know it wasnt taken care of much, what kind of maintenance should I do to it before I take it out and beat on it a little?
