a larger carb would increase the top end with a severe loss of bottom. with a slightly modded blaster engine a keihin 28mm pwk would be perfect.

the keihin 28 pwk would be perfect. i am going to get the power pros pipe, which is basically the same as trinity's exept it is cheaper($220 with chrome plating) and they have better customer service. if you will be doing hill climbs then i suggest you get a reed spacer too. i have one and it made a HUGE diffence.

good luck!

I think you can get them from any aftermarket company such as nac's or k&k atv. I bought mine at Boulevard Cycle. They ordered it from parts unlimited or some place like that and had I had it in about a week. I don't remember how much it was exactly but I think it was around $200. It was a kit from DG that included the carb, cable, and twist throttle. That was the only way they could order it. If you get one watch out though. I had to raise the clip on the needle all the way up and go up to a 152 main jet on my blaster.The jet that came in it was a 138 I think. That might be alright for your Blaster but I doubt it.
