Author Message   Titusand Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 06:49 pm:        New Blaster here.... Harley mechanic told me, "Oh don't get a Blast, you need a rear tire every 1,000 miles." I have a hard time believing that. Any opinions out there?   Krjoseph Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 07:00 pm:        I could only get 3,000 miles out of the stock tire. That's just one of many reasons the Dunlop tire sucks. Get the Pirelli Diablo, I got almost 5,000 miles out of it.   Ezblast Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 07:10 pm:        FH!   Ezblast Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 07:12 pm:        & KR is right in the oversized! EZ   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 08:05 pm:        If you put in a SPRING PLATE PN 37977-90 which requires the removal 1 friction plate and two steel plates, you will get a smoother release'ing clutch which will give you more rear tire mileage ...   Monzaracer Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 03:19 am:        4500 on MT75s   Rainman Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 03:25 pm:        6,000 on stock Dunlop, but it was square when it went away. Doing 5,000 on Pirelli, handle much better. Ain't nothing wrong with the Blast. It'll keep up with the bigger Harleys up to 80 mph and outhandle all of them. 11,000 trouble-free miles, with the exception of minor oil leaks and idiot like me could fix.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 04:05 pm:        "i" have run with the SPORT BIKES and as long as the straight aways were short the BLAST was in the hunt ... There was a couple of H-D DRESS'ers and they got left right at the start of the ride ...   Krjoseph Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 04:16 pm:        It's not the bike, it's the rider. I got behind a Ultra Classic on Hwy 60 thru Suches, GA (home of Buelltoberfest) last Saturday. I didn't know a dresser could lean like that. The dude was carving the hell out of those corners. It was impressive.   Ezblast Posted on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 - 03:23 pm:        If it was White, it was probably Ferris - lol EZ   Kenrulloda Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 03:31 pm:        out of pure insane giggles. Has anybody put on side fairings along with the existing plastics on their blast?   Ezblast Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 03:50 pm:        Yes - see the LSR racing section! Or hunt through the pictures section. EZ   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, April 09, 2010 - 01:22 pm:        My old Blast did well running with the sport bikes too...Buellistic can confirm that claim. Buellistic...if you see this...get them new knees in shape and come ride!!! And I wanna see your Blast on the road again.
