So many great touches and custom ideas - the perfect platform for a hotrod Blast motor!

Neat! Why two rear shocks?

Kind of cool, but the rear subframe/bodywork looks like it came from a different bike then the rest. Yes, I know it basically did, but it shouldn't look that way so much. One end is nice soft curves, the other is straight lines and angles. Still, some nice work in there.

Re-Listed - that sub frame is definitely custom. Check the other pictures - you'll see why.

There are any number of bikes I would consider to cafe over a Blast.

But do they qualify as both Buell and a single?

I love the Buell twins.

The single...not so much.

The engine itself is okay...though portly for the displacement.

There is almost nothing about it chassis wise that I like.

These are close,


but when so much of the base bike is gone it makes a lot more sense to start with something else.

The Crossroads bike is pretty cool, though. That's a lot of work for what amounts to mainly cosmetic improvements.

I'm all for that type of bike, but would start with a base bike that is not a Buell single.

It's far better than some of the turds are built on Buell platforms.

Well, some folks think there's a chopper hiding inside every Buell...

There's crap built out of anything.
