Hubby put them on my blast, only issue was the grips being a little sticky to remove. I like them so much better, look at my profile pic to see if you need a better pic let me know we can go snap a few more.

EZ Meant: Put on superbike bars. They are close to lightning bars but much cheaper. These are the bars that should have come with the bike.

Yuppers, and if your a traffic splitter, you can trim an 1 1/2" each side.

Blastee - make him get rid of those Dunlops, anything but Kendas are better, safer, and more fun to ride on - seriously!

Everyone else - same thing - Ditch the Dunlops!

The superbike bars are nice, they still give you a "sitting up" riding position. I think they work better with mid foot controls than clubmans or clip-ons.

Right now no hurry to get rid of the dunlops, yeah I hate them too. I have michellins on the ultra and the m2 and really like those so far. But I am flying up on friday to Bumpus to pick up a 09 lightning scg. So the blast will become a round town bike but then again who knows she may venture out on the road more cause she is a great ride.

I replaced the stock bars on my Blast with Super Bike Bars, and road them for about 1000 mi. Felt good, nice control, but I felt just a bit too much weight on the wrists. I then installed Lightning bars... Good compromise to the stock/Super bike combo, no wrist pressure, nice forward position, works well with standard foot pegs. After 1000 mi. I still like them, and would recommend the swap. Also a bit more adjust ability before tank interference.

The CityX bars should bolt right up without changing the cables....
I put a set of Blast bars on my CityX
