Thump, that CR setup looks great! How do you like the riding position, and are you a tall person? How wide are they? Are you interested in running the stock flyscreen? I've figured out a couple mods to make it fit better with forward bars if you're interested.   | ||

Thump, are you going to ditch that Mickey Mouse mirror? | ||

hey EZ, what is needed to put the firebolt screen on a blast? i know i know...wrong place to ask...sorry. but really is there anything special needed besides the mounting bracket and the plastic? | ||

As requested by Indy:   EZ- There is no info on the package. Fly is the brand, and they came with a pad for dirt bikes. They cost $50. Johnnymac: Yeah the black looks a lot better imo and was a major factor in the purchase. Berkshire: Thanks  I like the riding position a lot better. A bit more pressure on the wrists though. I can tell that long rides will be more trouble. I'm about 2 feet taller than most..........children. 5'8". I can tuck in much easier now with a lot more control. Right now I am going for a nekid/minimilist look, so I am leaving off the screen for now. A wise man pointed out that was an oxymoron while running those CR clubmans. I shaved the brackets anyways. Take a look at the first pic. | ||

I have seen someone make a custom bracket for it, however,I don't see why a regular Blast bracket couldn't be adapted to work.  EZ | ||

That grass needs cut  | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
To mount a firebolt fairing just needs ingenuity in making your own brackets. Wiring should be fairly simple. | ||

Indybuell, that grass is what grass looks like in the promised land, maybe someday if we are real, real good, we can go there. | ||

Now for something different - lol  EZ | ||

There's a Blast in there somewhere under all that red! | ||
| Thump |
Wow, that must be from the mid-west I imagine. 'Nother tractor seat. | ||

After looking that thing over a bit more closely, I came up with a question. How do you stop? | ||
| Evilbetty |
I was going to ask the same question. It looks like the rear brake pedal is still there, but a bike with no front brake would scare the bajezus out of me. | ||
| Ezblast |
Tipical old style chopper - rear brake only!  EZ | ||
| Johnnymac |
OMG I want that bike!!!  | ||
| Johnnymac |
Where did you get that picture, Ed? Do you know who makes the frame? There is a front brake on that bike, BTW.  (Message edited by johnnymac on October 15, 2008) | ||

That was the Crossroads Bobber - a sweet bike that was sold asap when put up for sale and never been heard of since - American Sport Bike has the design for the adapters for using a regular Sportster hard tail frame - if you ask they'd probably send you a copy for a price. I agree and think it still is the nicest chopper besides the Redneck Mutants. EZ  | ||

 Firebolt fairing, CBR rearsets | ||
| Ezblast |
Very Nice! EZ | ||

Here is a pic I found of Justibuni in action - mind you she does all her own wrenching and installed a stage 3 kit on her Blast - the woman is a born wrench!  EZ | ||
| Indybuell |
Wow! Wheelies, and no protective gear! | ||
| Johnnymac |
Hey, Ed. Do you know what muffler can she was running? | ||
| Ezblast |
Jardine with my recommended usage of the stock lower front mounting gear - she did finally realize that lots of wheelies means periodic Isolator change outs - lol EZ  With her project bike, she now owns a CBR for a daily rider. | ||

Blast-phlemy....a non Buell reference!!!   Get it??? oh I kill myself  (Message edited by fast1075 on October 27, 2008) | ||
| Swampy |
I was thinking isolator also..... | ||
| Robdog88 |
wow i'm impressed with the wheelie! wish i could get mine up like that  Hmmm maybe if i was 60 lbs lighter, or rode an XB?? lol | ||
| Ezblast |
That woman wrenched her own Blast to get some great numbers, and she did her own repair work as well. She wrecked it going a bit too hot in a corner. The next pic was her showing her recovery on her then new project Cafe bike - she says she still pulls stunts on her project bike, but "cruises" her daily rider  Her idea of cruising is PDQ. EZ | ||

You guys all have some great-looking bikes! I'd love to have a Blast as a project, but I'm too strapped for cash... all my $$$ is going toward an Ss-to-Firebolt conversion right now.... Cool stuff though!   ~SM | ||

 One of my favorites - a modern classic - the Blast Cafe. EZ | ||

    KTM fairing plus Blast equals ? EZ |
