I heard my name. It's been a week or two, but here I am. lol

Diggin' the comparison to an old MGB. I actually have a Blast engine in an XB frame and used to own a 65 MGB roadster.

And yes,...

That's me. I locked down BuellRidersOnline, I'm just tired of fighting bots and spam. Almost everything possible has been documented there, including turbo builds, if you use the built-in Google...

It's actually not that difficult of a timeline to follow:

LAP bought EBR when it went into receivership.
LAP ran EBR this whole time, it was never shut down.
LAP/EBR bought rights to the Buell...

I use calibrated fingers for tensioning the primary. Loosen that bolt until it damn-near falls out. Start turning it in with bare fingers until you feel it get constant tension. Back out until the...

I just wanted to clarify this part. An "alternator" is an assembly of the stator, rotor, rectifier, and regulator. In regards to motorcycles, we refer to these individual components because they are...

lol, a Shady Shrader product.

Good luck.

Don't use the tune.


That's a 3.709" bore. Seems silly to go through the effort of case boring for a non-standard size bore and custom piston....

I don't have anything to add to what Cooter and 3419 have said.

I do appreciate the kind words.

I will answer questions and help with anything I can, even EFI conversion (not cheap nor easy)....

LAP bought rights to the Buell name as well.

I lane split, for quite a many years, in Cali. I've been sideswiped twice (went down first time, second time stayed up) but never a door opened on me. Study has shown accidents from lane splitting...

The story of the dumpster is relatively common knowledge, factory test bikes and in-process builds were dumped rather than spend time (time=money) on finishing them. Fire sale the finished inventory,...

Erik didn't dislike the Blast, he actually said he enjoyed it for what it was, in other interviews and videos. He hated that it became the symbol of Buell, instead of the sportbikes like he had...

Why are you yelling?

I'll get dims later today, for you.

So it sounds like it DID start, you just didn't want to let it warm up to idle down.

Change your fuel, it's probably bad.

If nothing else has changed, then start it and let it idle/run so it...

Why do you people insist on putting XB questions in the Blast section? ffs

-Moved-

Mine was originally using a Walbro fuel pump and adjustable FPR, everything else was XB system; this was when I was still using the Blast frame with a Firebolt subframe. Since I switched it to a...

They didn't make them fuel injected. We built them ourselves. Loose1 did his first, I followed, then there's a couple more at least.

Here's mine:

Get one. Dan Whaley is a member here, Thumpe.

Maybe they are gone, then. I read elsewhere they replaced the Diablo with the Angel?

Probably not gonna do it any different than you did, honestly. lol

I will be doing this asap.

-EDIT-
Just ordered spools.

I are local. :up:

The only Methel Island I can find is in CA Bay Area. When was that?

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...

His first Blast:...
