I'm Looking to Make Buell Blast Cafe Racer

[ezblast]

They want to sell several different staged kits, parts, and complete bikes. That's why it is taking so long -

wow, never saw any of these Blasts on here before. Gotta admit, been kicking around getting one, but could never picture what could be done....i smell next winter's project!

 

[Burton]

Yeah, these are sweet! Props to you guys!

So how much we talking about for a Mac turn key?

 

[ezblast]

Dunno - it will come 600cc stage 3, Baker drum,and then what ever they throw on it with that hot Harris chassis - probably around 14,000.00 and they'll get it because of the names involved in its design - all quality ***** - lol

Guess i'll be stick with my 500CR project.

I'd like to go to a 600 in the future myself just so i can go get a 600CR sticker made up to put on the tail. lol

Well I know this post is old but I am going to start put together plan for building a bike like this one from Mac. Has anyone done a full bike build like this with the use of the the thumper. Is the big bore kit worth doing. Who makes a chain drive mod. I'm planning to do this project over the next year or two. Have a wedding that's ganna be holding me back. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

The blast look pretty good once you strip the un-neccessary plastic off of it! This is the one I got my wife. Have considered cafe'n it out with a little fairing and clip-ons.

I would be interested in learning more about the air filters Thumpe and soulhamster are useing, i cant see those functioning in a very dusty region of the motherland, and I'm from kansas so i cant see something like that being very effective for me, I want to do some type of air box mod on my blast but I havent quite decided yet

They work fine. I'm in central Cali where it's all kinds of dusty.

 

[djs2k2]

anyone done the 44 magnum kit yet? Or any big bore for blast?

 

[jetlee]

There's several over-bore at buellridersonline.com

just_some_dude is running the 600cc kit, several others with the 515cc kit, even more have done the XB swap. I believe there's one or two that have a 515/XB even.

44 Magnum is not a "kit". It's tons of money into case modifications to allow for a 1200 crank with a very over-bore jug and custom piston; plus everything else associated.

I am not a big fan of the singles, that being said I have heard you can make them fast for what they are and the weight is awesome.

You ask if anyone's done any big bore Blasts, I listed some (with a reference), but now you're "not a big fan." I'm confused.
