Thanks to Bossanova for the wheels and squidbuellie for many of the other parts, aaron914 for the primary cover and a backup ecm. I will be putting the new primary cover on today, and then srat tearing the motor down when I get all the parts in.
I will update the further along I get.

good luck!! cant wait to see what it will look like when its done!! btw, why is it a xb4r? the blast is a 500 so shouldnt it be a xb5r lol? :D

A blast is actually 492, it is an xb9 engine with just on cylinder. The bore and stroke are the exact same. And xb9 is 984cc and is called a 9 so I figure xb4 was fitting. Although this blast engine is not being left stock as the only thing that will be used is the engine cases. I can't wait to get it done. Hopefully within a moth it will be done.

Definitely keeping an eye on this build.

First thought that came to me when I saw the title was inline 4 in a buell. XB4R
-
XB4.5RR :D

Cool. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

So far I have the primary cover on, swing arm on, once I have all engine parts that will go on. I ordered new fittings for the oil line so I can hook them up. If I can find an xb9 piston to use, I will be putting a big bore kit in this bad boy. From what I can tell so far, this bike will be lighter than a stock blast and have more power even without the big bore kit. This blast engine is easy to pick up on my own.

You gonna give the piston back after your done with it?? :D props for the build
-
Haha, I meant if I can't find a piston I will do a big bore. Lol the only way to buy a new piston is to buy a cylinder and piston together which is about $230 plus the gaskets and rings or a big bore kit with everything for like $350.
