I saw it at HC this year. As far as I remember (and don't hold me to this) it had an XB front on it, Blast motor, chain rear drive, and a seat that looked about as accommodating as a 2x4. Who made this bike? I want to know more about it.............PLEEEEEEEEEZ?

I believe your asking about Matt Loose's bike. I have his email somewhere and I'll try and find it.

Yes, I think it was Matt Loose's bike. It looks like a motard. Thanks.

IIRC, it's a Blast with XB swingarm and wheels, and XB EFI on the Blast motor.

You are correct! The link up above to buelletin board has pics of it. Lot of engineering going on there. I dig it! Well done!

I think this bike as far as originality and work gone in to it ranks up there with Joesbuell's bike.

He dropped in the XB9 set - cam, piston, head, and FI, cutting off and plating FI for the rear, ecmspy to tune, ad an AF sniffer to exhaust, using a regular Blast frame, modified shock mount for XB height shock, raising height 4"(a Blast Works shock would have bolted up to the stock location), XB wheels, tires, brakes, bars, fairing, lights, and swing arm, adding a custom rear frame holding a modified dirt-bike seat, rear tail light kit...the custom front pulley and idler pulley, all just awesome work and a definitely in the great "Buells that used to be a Blasts" group - needing only a fork-brace, a set of GV emulators, and a Works competition front end fork spring kit to complete the bike potential to be all that it could be. It is an awesome Blast!
