Hey there! Thanks for any help given, i think this forum is great, as a new rider and bueller I am grateful and so excited to get started working on my 03' blast. I want to upgrade the exhaust, probably go with vance&hines since i have not even heard of any others. I want to know what would be the best air intake to upgrade to? any suggestions on painting the frame and exhaust? I have seen that done, it looks fantastic in all black with heat tempered grill paint! Best tires? best oil to use, use it in the transmission also? & Any other suggestions for improvements : D

Blast factor,
If you refer to the Thumper section, you will have more great info about Blast mods, tires, zorsts, intakes, etc than you can possibly take in. EZ's 7 or so easy, cheap mods for performance upgrades can start you out: you can modify stock exhaust, mod stock intake, re-jet the carb, and a couple of other things and try out stuff, then go and pay money for a different intake w/ beefed up carb support, different exhaust, etc.
There's a ton of good ideas to check out.
Go Blast!
