I've seen tuber and XB forks adapted to the Blast and for what you'd spend buying new Blast parts, you could probably get a used set. Do you really need new forks and trees? They're pretty sturdy units and unless there was serious damage, they should be fine. If the forks need replacing, I'd be concerned about how bad your frame is. |

I know the right one is bent and the lower tree is cracked it hit hard, the whole headlight assembly is shifted to one side by about 2" |

Then definitely replace it all. Some parts may be salvageable for reuse by others (I strip everything for parts!). Take a good look at the frame. It probably has the telltale mark on the engine from the engine hitting the lower front tiebar mount. That doesnt mean its bent though, just take a good look around the frame neck. If you have to replace the headlight bucket.... I need the wiring!? |

you might be better off searching for a cheep non running blast and use yours for parts. |
