Okay, so question guys. Which way should I go??? I'm looking to change out the bar on my 05 blast due to it putting me in an uncomfortable position when I tuck. I'm not looking for anything fancy, though I've eyed some cheap clip ons;). But basically it comes down to one thing. Will the clubman bar from motorcycle superstore dotcom fit my 05 blast without it touching my tank?? And be able to put in locking position? I've heard both ways from people some have it fit perfectly fine with no alterations but some say they use risers. I'm just asking without anything(no risers. Nothin) if not how do the superbike bars feel? I know they are completely different from our bicycle stock handlebars but is it THAT much different?[confused]

love clubmans on my XB

the superstore clubmans are a bit steep (read insanely aggressive down angle) at probably a goo 30degrees down they put a lot of stress on your hands/wrists.
on the XB they also had a tendency to bump the frame if you tried to angle them less (pull them back a bit)

but even at the crazy angle I still did a 6 hour day on the bike followed by a 4 hour day.

turn in is great, front tire/mid corner stability is unreal, and in corner push back is damn skippy

I think any 7/8" bar should work. Hard to remember the exact set up on a blast. I sold mine in 04, but I'm 99% sure. For 23$ just try em.

I have a set of clubmans on mine and I love them, they are a touch steeper than may be common on a GXSR or CBR, but they feel great and the bike looks fast sitting still.:D

glad you are liking the bars :D

to be honest when I start getting aggressive in the corners I start to miss that set of bars over the Cr set I have now [sad]

Yea, I considered looking for something with a little less angle, but I think I would miss them too. Thanks for the hook up, I powder coated them and they look sweet.:)

Busters sell the Tuber Ace cafe clubmans, a bit less angle, and they lock, regular clubmans don't unless you add spacers - kinda defeats the purpose. Superbike are upright and you can lock them.

Busters - no problem!
m2 shallow (http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/productinfo/MAP501645/Bars-And-Footrests/Universal-bars/Economy)
Not cheap, around 80 with shipping, however, their bend is the Buell bend, which allows the bars to lock. Buell got around their (ace's) patient by going to 1" with 7/8" tapered ends to fit the hardware - making the bar a bit stronger as well, but the Buell unit because of that will not bolt up to a Blast without riser/adaptors - defeating the purpose. Those are the only non-adjustable clubmans that work on any Buell, but the Ace Shallow M2 Clubmans cost even more most of the time here in the ole USA because of rarity. You can by the Jota from them for about 30 more total - I have two sets - lol

If I had a Blast motor, I could build another blast with the extra parts I have, through modifying through the years - lol
