Author Message   Sarodude Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 11:00 am:        Rick- That's a good question. It seems that since the 4 valver is only increasing the number of valves, the only additional valvetrain mass would be from the valves themselves and a bit more rocker arm mass to manage the additional valves. The number (and mass?) of the pushrods isn't changing... I think... -Saro   Rick_A Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 08:58 pm:        That's the way I understand it to be... ...and I have evidence proving that the stock Blast arm need not be lengthened to fit a 17" Buell wheel.   Ezblast Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 11:33 pm:        shock was probably moved - a little cutting and welding, and filling($535.00 in SF,Ca - about 1/2 everywhere else) Your talking about 3/4 of an inch with the shock moving half of that. if even that much was altered - I went w/quarter inch and no shock movement. In the dark-side - keep blasting!   Ezblast Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:08 am:        wouldn't a 2&1/4 inch fr. header (from another Buell type) and a supertrap 4" w/ 16 disc.s do the trick for exhaust? Don't know - why not though? Keep Blasting!   Blake Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:15 pm:        What is a "2&1/4 inch fr. header"?   Ezblast Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:25 pm:        Is'nt the header pipe on the 1200cc Buells 21/4" and the front header pipe would that be transferable?   Aaron Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:44 pm:        The head pipes on the 1200's are 1-3/4" ... they come into a 2" collector on non-thunderstorm motors and a 2-1/2" collector on thunderstorms. The Blast has the same flange and port but immediately necks the pipe down to 1-5/8".   Ezblast Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 10:38 pm:        so could I step the stock to 1&3/4 for the lower half into a supertrapp universal 3"w/12discs? is this workable or does the dreaded reverse wave factor come in some how?Thanks aron - thats part of the info I was fishing for.   Aaron Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 11:07 pm:        Definitely workable. Particularly with a tunable muffler like that.   Ezblast Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 10:01 pm:        Any news on when the 44mag is coming out and how much an exhaust to go with it? The idea of a Blast square eng. still has me drooling!I've checked their site and nothing concrete so far - any insider info. would be nice;0) Keep Blasting - i'm blasting on the dark side!   Blake Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 06:02 pm:        I believe Brian's initial estimate was sometime in July.
