ok well im posting this for my friend. i sold my blast to him and since he bought it he has had some issues. the top motor mount took a crap and the bolts snappened. we replaced it and it was a real pain in the butt. once we got it all back together we couldnt get the gas tank back on. and he ended up bending the 2 posts to make it fit and then bent them back down... i think the tank on the right side is touching the motor now.... and the whole bike shakes really bad.. any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like improper assembly (duh!). Did the tie bars get loosened and are now out of adjustment? The fuel tank support bracket may have also been twisted. The tank can also be a tight fit needing a bit of a shove to get it into place.

The vibrations could be from all of the above. Its also possible another mount (front iso or rear) is bad and thats what caused or contributed to the bolts breaking.
