EZ...you have stepped out of your Blastard only realm...I'm sure the sith lords are not taking kindly to this...lol, J/K. How do you like the CR?? I rode an R at my local stealership that they had for sale, but preffered my XBS over it. How does the CR compare to the R (if you've ridden the R).

In the end, all that matters is that were happy!

Sure... that's how it starts. Seriously though, if it was me I would put a round headlight on it, bar end mirrors and some clip ons. Although that's coming from someone who can't leave ANYTHING alone. Will you continue your work on the XBBLAST?

Of course - the Blasts are now my life long hobby. Starkiller is the daily rider, and Vader will be the XBBlast. Behold Insideous! (Black plastic to follow in a few weeks.)









See - their just like the movie Twins!

Geeze EZ!

Good on you!

EZ:

The new bike looks great, I bet you end up riding it more than the Blasts.
I realize the 1125's are the least likely to be cubed but what made you trust Buell again?

Yay for power! And some half-decent looks too

Nice bike EZ, but even if you won't admit it, you know we're all right. There is no, I repeat, NO, way that you're going to leave that ride alone for long...

LOL - really guys - except for the color, which gets changed out gratis in a few weeks to black, its fine as it is, and will only see weekend action, the Blasts will still do the majority of work, seriously. Trust Erik - dunno about that, don't have anything to trust him for, his bikes though are still my favorites,and the CR is already a EZ designed creation - stolen - thats obvious - lol

To answer an earlier question, the seating position was equal to Vaders, same foot position and bar position - very nice.

Thank's EZ. I really like the super low riding position and they were so easy to put on. They use a split clamp system so you don't need to take the front end apart. I'll post some better pics in the pic section tomorrow.

"Andy's been Blasting for a bit now" According to his profile and what the dealer is advertising the mileage on his Blast, its only about 1000 miles!

lol - actually I want to spend time exploring the east and northern roads, with cooler and more scenic areas - its always been much more of a hassle to get a Northern Californian to go to the even hotter south. So many great roads up here to explore, that is what I want to devote more time to - in other words - I just want to do some distance stuff back roads, scenic curves, coastal, etc - the cool stuff that makes riding fun. Doesn't mean I'll never go to SLO - heck I have a nice route mapped from here to there and back. But really there are so many good roads up here - heading east to Tahoe, or North to Redding - there are so many great roads I have yet to try! And old friends to visit;0)

So, now that I have a bolt holding the head to the mount that doesn't break, the hole itself decides to self-destruct. Got my helicoil kit, will fix Tuesday or something.

A note on the boot (Das Boot): I'm past 37K, and have not had one fail. I've replaced it once, not because it failed, but because it was old, and probably would fail soon.
