Anyone know the part number for the fork seals? Also, how about opinions on what weight oil to use in the forks.
Thanks!!

Are you trying to change front end handling or just looking for an alternate stock weight replacement?

Thanks for the number.
I personally think the blast rides a little soft, so I guess I'm looking to change the handling a bit.

The stock oil weight is 10W, http://www.maximausa.com/products/gearlubes/bigtwin.html

You could try varying the ammount of oil or a different fork weight in the forks, or using a taller spring spacer to stiffen them up a bit. I know works performance make Fork springs for the Blast.
