that thing looks nice, the best part is that it looks like a pretty much stock blaster at first glance, but in reality it will probably rip most quads out there. the things is a sick sleeper

Thanks. I'm still workin' on it. Got to admit the vintage 88' red & white blaster color scheme isn't flashy but it does go. I got talked into going over the house of some dude I didn't know with a Kaw Bruteforce 750. I totally embarrassed him in a race. We were both surprised!Quote:

Awesome
Got the motor out and blasted. As soon as my cylinder comes (any day now) I'll send it out to be bored.

Also got the 426 big bore kit too. This is a one off kit custom made by Wiseco complete with gaskets, rod bearing, and a custom big bore head gasket.

Still undecided on satin or gloss black motor paint.
Flat black high heat paint.nothing shiny to draw attention to yourself,you want a unassuming lil'blaster sleeper;) If one asked about the motor looking different,just say its a 1978 yamaha dt250 "enduro motor":DQuote:

Haha I'm kinda in a rush to get it all back together and running. We have a new guy at work with some awesome trails and a field I might be able to get though 5th in. On a side note He's a younger guy and for some reason laughed when I told him the motor was older than him and air cooled. He has friends too 2 with Rappy 700's. Naturally they already want to race.....Awwwww it's funny how power turns a man into a kid again :DQuote:

Honestly i dont think you should paint the motor at all. I think it looks awsome just the way it is. that grey look for some reason makes it look a lot new and cleaner than the black. just my thoughts
I'm only painting the cases. The top is staying natural to help keep it cool...PBQuote:
