Author Message   Titusand Posted on Sunday, March 20, 2011 - 11:37 pm:        I am wondering if anyone has experienced yet parts shortages for the Blast. For example, according to the manual, the sprockets should be changed when a new belt is installed. How much longer could those parts continue to be available, for example? Supposedly Harley continues to make the Blast, but has anyone seen new ones anywhere? Are we looking at 3-4 years or less before we have to start improvising parts?   Ezblast Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011 - 02:40 am:        Ten years - though HD has not officially axed the Blast - they have not produced any for 2011.

Those were sold in numerous places, including a dealer north of me. Buell never made them continuously but would make batches of them as needed.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011 - 09:44 am:        Look for the HARLEY-DAVIDSON "BLAST" P3 to be around a long time just for the RIDERS EDGE PROGRAM ... Iam Noone'   Kauai1800 Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011 - 03:09 pm:        So wait, I'm confused (as usual). Do any of you guys with more contact with HD know whether they will make more blasts as needed for riders edge, or not? Or do we really know for sure either way?   Rainman Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011 - 04:03 pm:        Official word from the Riders Edge folks is that Harley is working on a new, beginning bike that will work in the MSF program. They didn't sound too convinced and neither am I. I haven't had any issues finding Blast parts yet as RE bikes continue to be run   Swampy Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011 - 06:56 pm:        There is a thread elsewhere on the board that is talking about ATK importing Hosung or some other Chinese knockoff and selling them at H-D dealers   Rusty7983 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 11:25 pm:        i think the article says they will make them in india.
