    so yeah, like the title implies...im building a chopper. based on the blast engine, drivetrain, and wheels. Im really interested in a different back tire but hey what can ya do. I will be putting a few pics of the build on the site so just letting you guys know ahead of time.

    btw...when this is over i will have a few parts that i wont be needing and i'll also put those parts on here.

    is there anything anyone is looking for? like right now i have the whole plastic gastank cover, rear tail section, gastank, air breather cover...all of that un-necessary stuff when building a new one

    let me know

    lol yeah im in sales. you prolly ordered from me if you called it in!

    yeah, im not all about the bobber style with the thin wheels. I pretty much decided yesterday that i was going to run the M2 cyclone wheels with the M2 cyclone rear belt gear and go from there...we will see though

    Hey there ... (new to the board)
    Sharp lil chop. I had been pondering doing one of these for myself. I haven't had a bike in yeeaaars and had been looking at the Blast as a re-starter bike then doing a chop project on it over the winter. Love thumpers in the first place but I wanted something more up to date and reliable. I've heard the Blast is a strong work horse but not real fast. Which is what I'm looking for.
    Do you have more pics of the ridgid frame work, fender, and tank mount? Love the old tractor seat too. Thumbs up!

    That bike started out life as a crashed up 02 Blast. The whole sub frame was bent to the side almost 6 inches. So, we decided to chop it up. I do not have anymore pics of it though, unfortunately. The shop I used to work at in central MN still has it, and they ride it around every now and again. Fun little bike.

    To me it looks like a modded stock frame. It looks like it still uses the back bone for the oil tank. The swingarm looks like they just added a brace to each side to make it a ridged.

    My xb was sitting next to that bike when it was in the buell booth at the mn international motorcycle show a few years ago.
