I am thinking of getting a blaster and just wanted to know how they put up after being riden hard.

 

I have a Banshee and a Blaster. I check my Blaster frame for cracks after every ride and usually find some. The stock shocks will get very stiff over time which makes things worse. The engine mounts and the swingarm are where to look first for cracks. I have fabricated front engine mounts that will reinforce the rest of the frame. Just need to weld them on. Being 190 lbs. and riding very hard has a lot to do with my problems.
