Thanks Rokoneer, That a cool custom HD-Single. With the Trans above the engine, it makes the bike really compact front to rear. I wonder if that little tank in front of the rear wheel is the oil tank! James | ||

Sweet bike - a Buellish custom in style - shock under slung, weight centralized, Looks great, but I wonder how strong the frame is? GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

One interesting thing about that Rooke bike is that for all the time and labor I'd imagine it took to fab that seat/tank unit I would have thought that he'd use something more unique than off the shelf plastic Acerbis SuperMoto fenders on it. | ||
| Ezblast |
Acerbis is TOL for supermoto and since that is who they are identifying with - it would follow to use their stuff - nespa? GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||
| Jprovo |
What's funny is on one page he calls it a dirtbike, but it looks like the shop name for it was Slotard... classic  | ||
| Naustin |
Definitely different... It looks more show than go however.... | ||
| Rokoneer |
EZ, You may be correct in that thinking. I have Acerbis fenders on my Honda SuperMoto. I'd think they might make the fenders on the Slotard as unique to the machine as all the other one off stuff. | ||
| Ezblast |
 Good taste in light/flyscreens as well - lol  GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||
| Ezblast |
Oh yeah - pics of the bikes with their new exhausts on - the WB on the red - she runs quick now! - lol - and the D&D on the Black - loss top and bottom a poney or two, however, a really quicker middle range has appeared - Eric kept aksing me what I did to the bike - lol  GT - JBOTDS!

Hey EZ, I happen to have an Acerbis Diamond headlight, just like the one you have on your Blast, on my motard. I am less then enthusiastic about the amount of light it gives off when riding at night as all three of the bulbs are only 20W each. I have not been able to find a higher wattage bulb that is compatible as the stock ones are unique (they actually look like in home spotlight bulbs). Were you able to upgrade yours somehow, or are you just living with it as I am? The headlight on the Slotard is an Acerbis Cyclops which is a DOT legal unit and has a 55w bulb in it, but man do I think it is ugly in comparison to the Diamond. | ||
| Ezblast |
I have all 3 on at once 60watts - cuts through fog very well that way - so I'm happy with mine - however, I thought they sold more powerful light upgrades as well - thinking 30watt - I'll check - GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

the Acerbis Cyclops is DOT legal and has 55W for the Flood and 55w for the "Projector Like" Spotlight. I've seen it in daylight and it looks cool though I haven't seen one at night | ||

I'm also running a acerbis diamond headlight (same as Ezblast) on my S1 but with a trim. I like the look but as Rokoneer said, lacking in the lighting at night! Pic in profile if curious! | ||
| Naustin |
Damn cool bike... :thup: | ||
| Ezblast |
Have to put these here as well!   GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Isn't that frame heavier than the Blast? Still cool though! | ||
| Ezblast |
No | ||
| Southern Marine |
It looks like it's missing something. Did it get moved to the airbox? | ||
| Ezblast |
Naw - frame hides the carb GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||
| Southern Marine |
That's what I thought. One more question, top speed on it? | ||
| Swampy |
The frame is lighter? | ||
| Ezblast |
yup on the Frame - who knows about the top speed - the owner is going to up the ante on the motor since it will be in the Singles Formula Extreme - max cc are 680 - if I remember. Obligatory pic!  GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||
| Swampy |
Oop's heres mine for the day  Any guesses as to what this is on? It is the front wheel on a 4.3 million dollar vehicle(most recent auction). Name that vehicle..... | ||
| Jprovo |
1950 GM Futurliner "Parade of Progress" Bus  I'm guessing that the top speed on Jim's bike is in the 100-110 range. BTW, EZ, that is one UGLY bike. (Message edited by jprovo on April 18, 2006) | ||

Yeah but its a hell of a single - pricey though. GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

 Around $21,000.00 Base - Pricey Thumper fun! GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

Well its been a long time since I logged on (the life of a student/artist - lol!) so I decided to upload some new shots of the blast. The grass just started to turn green here, and it was also sporadic cloud cover today, so some of the shots didn't turn out too well (far too dark - better luck next time I guess). The buell hasn't changed much since last year, with the exception of the removed turn signal spacers.  | ||

I had to lighten this one up a bit..  |
