oh, and the blaster: it has a 20 mm stroker crank in it, teflon coated piston, polished everything, mixer block off, jetted and a slip on pipe. Nothing special that needs the 110, thats just what I run, simplifies it with the 450.

thats not too bad for a blaster. all i had done to mine was a 240 kit, ported and polished jug, wiesco flat top piston(ccant remeber compression is now), pro circiut platnium pipe, sprockets, clutch kit, oil injection block off. all together twice what i paid for the thing new in just the engine alone. i miss that thing. carried my little butt around no problem.

Yeah it's fun, just too small for me. I got it in a trade, so I'm going to get it going good for my girl or whoever that wants to come riding with me. A good chase wheeler

that's awesome he fixed it so fast. Is he letting you keep the cut one? patch it and keep it for a spare.

Yeah, but the tire shop said the cut was too big. Does that look like something that could be patched for a spare? Never done a tire repair before

For a trail spare only, yeah I can see that being patched. You can get big patches from truck shops that would do it.

well they are looking after their ****, and i cant blame them. how are they to know you really will be using it offraod only? it only takes on the road one time, the tire blows, an accident occurs. if there is an investigation and its found the tire was patched they will ask about the shop that did it. the tire shop can be found guilty and possibly sued. if it was my shop i would not patch it unless i really knew the guy or it was after hours, under the table kind of thing.

Well they're the kind of shop that would do that kind of thing (not exactly clean and friendly). I know what you're saying, but when they said they wouldn't do it, I figured it was pretty bad. I didn't even get them balanced ..

How wide is the part of the slit that goes all the way through? Looking at that picture, I figured that only like 3/4" of that slit was all the way through.

I'm pretty sure its all of it, I'll go take a look at it again later.

I don't know how they missed it, but the guy thanked me for sending pictures of it (apparently is going to show his guys what to look for ? lol)

Sidewall patches aren't the easiest things to do.
I've done one successfully and it wasn't that bad....

Since it will be a spare for off road only, if you could get a big enough patch, why not try...if it doesn't work-
Just put a big tube in it.
