I just trailed home a 2004 xb12s. o m g. | ||

I just drove home a used blast engine for $400 that is in better condition that my original engine. go figure. Plus just to make you guys sick, I only payed 3k for the XB12 that is in near brand new condition, 12k miles, one owner, all dealer serviced. Needs new fuel pump, headlight bulb, and turn signels and thats it. I'm investing in assless chaps cause I know I'll be shitting myself on the XB12.... | ||

Depends on how well you modified your Blast - lol EZ | ||

i took my primary cover off today and found theres no chain adjuster left. wile ive got it torn down i was wondering if a primary cover off any other harley or buell would bolt up. | ||
| Ezblast |
no | ||

Put a XB primary cover on my BLAST ... "SO", if a XB primary cover will fit, IMHO the XB primary chain adjuster would fit in the BLAST primary cover ... The FIRST CLUE that you are, or have been adjusting the primary chain TOO TIGHT is the EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PLASTIC that rubs on the primary chain ... | ||

and or no oil. the spare bike i bought still had factory spacer. i opened it up and had 1/2 of a tensioner left. it was only 2 inches long. only a fewdrops of oil. | ||

Nice! | ||

This may be late and the word may already be out, but I got a call from Chris at SuperBrace and he said mine was ready. So my thoughts are they are ready with all those that put in orders? I didn't ask and am at work at the moment. It would be worth a call to see if your order is ready. | ||

will a primary cover gasket off any other sportster or buell fit a blast or are thay unique? | ||
| Styxnpicks |
they are a completely different shape than the sportster. so those wont work. the xb primary cover will bolt up cept for one bolt at the top that in a slightly different location. you could probably use the xb gasket in a pinch but I'd use the blast gasket if possible | ||

Unless Buell updated the primary gasket after my 06 was assembled, the latest XB primary gasket is a better over all design. The XB gasket is rubber coated metal compared to the paper design of the Blast. Also, the 1 bolt hole that is different is up under the starter and you can keep 1/2 of the gasket material from around the original bolt hole, if you are good with a pair of dikes. If you are worried about it leaking you could use a pea sized dab of gasket maker/ case sealer. | ||

The timing cover fell off of my 2003 Blast. Is there a certain kind of cover I need to look for, or will any covers fit that are that size? Can anyone give me the details on how to get a new cover? Thanks!! | ||

finally got my primary chain adjuster in after waiting 2 weeks. got it all put together. i tightened the adjuster bolt all the way up and didnt feel any tenshion. is that good? also,how many quarts of oil do i put in the primary? | ||
| Allen77360 |
1 quart. you should not be able to tighten bolt all the way. If you use a wrench you might not feel the tension. loosen it, start the bike, and tighten it by ear. | ||
| Wild_card |
thanks. did anyone ever make a belt drive primary for the blast? that would elimanate the need for the adjuster | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Not exactly. It's available but not cheap. $2500+ Sounds like you have an adjuster problem  | ||
| Wild_card |
damn. thats another bike. i think the primary chain is just streached out too much. | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Would more than likely be a very worn or broken shoe (which is very common from overtightening). The Blast uses the same primary chain they've used on Sportsters for 50 years. You'd really have to try very hard to stretch it out that much. |
