    You don't have to weld anything, it's slightly elongating the holes where the mount mounts to the head.

    It's the only way to get the XB head to mount in a Blast frame. So far, no one that has done the swap has had any issues with their modified mounts.

    well, still waiting for a few parts and waiting on a lighting tail swap. I put the plastics and everything on to see what it would look like. I sat on the bike and man, this thing is light. I know there is about 20-30 lbs of stuff still not on the bike but even after all of that it will still be really light.

    Looks cool, always thought the S tail would look better also - This would be XBBlast #7 that I know of, yeah - you think more would be made. There is a 20lb loss of weight just in switching frames and swing-arm and sub-frames, not counting lighter exhaust, no need for oil cooler, 1 less cyl./piston/head, etc. - 16 front and back would be formula, but no one does that because then front end customization comes in and starts to equal the price of the stock XB set up - I may do that - I have all the parts, just trying to find the time.

    I mounted it, just as if the rear cylinder isn't there do its bolted through the the rear mount to the throttle body mount. I will take a picture to show it.
