Author Message   D_mac Posted on Saturday, December 19, 2009 - 11:12 am:        Just got my superbike bars! Read something about cutting 1.5" off each end. Seems like that might make things real tight-the bars are 29.2" from chapparal. To cut or not to cut? Also, will I have to reroute any cables/wires? Thanks for all the quick responses to my rookie q's   Milt Posted on Saturday, December 19, 2009 - 12:37 pm:        You don't have to cut them - it's personal taste. No major rerouting cables is needed. I had to slide them around a little to make some slack, but no big deal.   Ezblast Posted on Sunday, December 20, 2009 - 01:33 am:        Cables are fine - first set I cut an inch each side - plenty of room, 1 1/2" exactly does make it tight, but it all does barely fit, and would put you roughly at the same length as clip ons, I cut my Jota/Laverda down as well - I like them - it works. EZ   Odd Posted on Sunday, December 20, 2009 - 11:52 pm:        has anyone tried running the 984 piston, head, pusrods on a blast?   Gehoffmeister Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 08:53 am:        Has anyone installed the gp bars in lieu of the superbike bars? just wanting to know if there is a big difference.   Ezblast Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 01:17 pm:        Odd & geh - Yes - that is the XB set up you would use - the 9 stroke practically identical to the Blast - ErikO uses it in his Blasts that he races. The gp bars are only 1 1/2" shorter than stock,but have been used. EZ   Rlm Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 01:37 pm:        ref: "SWEET yellow custom Blast" I'm probably missing something but the only Blast I can find on the site is the red stock 2001 on which they are doing the Mods outlined. Also 2010 Blasts: One of the dealers here has 2010 Blast for sale. It is badged as a Blast - no mention of Buell, and it is yellow. Asking price is $5900 Cdn. I think that price might be somewhat negotiable.   Kustomklassix Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 01:50 pm:        The bike was built by Dennis of Dennis Wolf Designs. I friggin love this thing.   Ezblast Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 03:56 pm:        One of my favorites as well. EZ   Fahren Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 03:57 pm:        Rlm, it's in the photo gallery section of their main page.   Kustomklassix Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 04:27 pm:        Right, aboot, here... http://bcrider.com/guest2003.html And what's with all the new sponsor popup crap, I remember when this site diddn have nunnuh dat shtuff!   Odd Posted on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - 02:38 pm:        Ez, what do you think of milling the head down on that xb head to gain some more compression. if so how much?   Ezblast Posted on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - 03:35 pm:        I know it has been done - contact Brian of Revolution Performance - one of our sponsors here - I'm sure he can give you the spec.s for that.

EZ   Kustomklassix Posted on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - 12:57 pm:        Ed, the exhaust on that bike and the red plastics look oddly Thor-like...hm...   Garlic_sauce Posted on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - 04:20 pm:        Happy B-DAY E-ZAY.   Darisb Posted on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - 04:31 pm:        Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.
