American Sport Bike, Dennis Kirk - skip the jet kit and buy the jets and extra float bowl screws - jeesh - with drag bars you may have troublewith the full lock positions - or not - depends on the bar and how you mount it - lol

Already pondering the idea of upgrading to a lightning..
Buy it! Bring it and your pink to SF and I'll race you to Alices - I'll even spot you the lead on take off - you barely have riding down and your already ready for a lightning - bring it I can use the parts and sell the motor.

Didnt say it was my 1st bike, ive got the riding down bro. Thinkn more the firebolt now anyways. Not really into the racing thing, i ride for fun. Just wanting sumthing a lil peppier yet stay american sport.
From my tests of both bikes - the Bolt is more intuitive, however, the Lightning is more comfortable if your more in city type of rider - I'm actually going for something in the middle of the two with the XBBlast I'm starting to build - lol - their insurance - the twins -is very pricey for something not ridden constantly - gas mialage isn't too bad - more complex though - the single simplicity is ideal to me and hopping it up has made it even more fun!

XBBlast, gona put a 1203 aboard? Insurance is crazy cheap on a blast.. i pay 97 a year for full coverage. Not really a town rider, i live in the hills and curves of kentucky.
LOL - I live in the Bay/Yay area - plenty of curves around here - actually putting a hopped up Blast motor in an XB platform. Just need wheels, axles, front fork and trees, front brakes, airbox cover, and seat sub-frame - lol - have everything else - all in good time - and I'll have the XBBlast!

A note for you - the XB platform is over 70lbs lighter than the Blast platform - get where I'm comming from yet? With better suspension and tires - a very fun ride indeed!
