Saw it at Barber a few years back. It's a fun custom, but I made the comment then, that he must be a master of self-promotion considering the quality of bikes there at the Vintage fest.
I look forward to him making something else!
This was fresh at the time and super cool. He has another one done by now, still cool:eagerness: but one-trick pony style. Makoto Endo was there himself, painting it with his chopsticks. Now thats a neat story:love_heart:
Heres a couple cool Buell customs

Cool bikes jetlee.
Does an XB rear swingarm bolt up to Blast? I've been kicking around the idea of building up a Blast/XB.... but I'd probably have to own it forever.

Wow! A Blast can look really good with XB suspension! (Looks at Bubbles Blast in the garage with XB wheels on the shelf behind it....)
I assume the XB swing arm would be a straight bolt on (cases being so similar), but I would like to know if the triples are too?

The blast neck degree is different then a xb so your trail would be off
Blast being 25deg and xb’s being 21deg

That's good info Squidbuellie, but the mod wouldn't be for performance.

The swingarm does bolt-on, I can confirm.
Blast neck is also longer so the XB stem is too short. When I put my Blast triples on my XB frame, I had to use spacers; not ideal, but works fine while I finish everything else.

So XB forks do not fit the Blast frame? Maybe the stem can be pressed out and installed in the XB clamps?

Thats how they do the tuber/XB suspension swap. Obviously not impossible, but I think we'd all like to avoid making custom billet triples!
