It's made its rounds.
Saw it at Barber a few years back. It's a fun custom, but I made the comment then, that he must be a master of self-promotion considering the quality of bikes there at the Vintage fest.
I look forward to him making something else!
This was fresh at the time and super cool. He has another one done by now, still cool but one-trick pony style. Makoto Endo was there himself, painting it with his chopsticks. Now thats a neat story
Heres a couple cool Buell customs
His first Blast:
His next Blast (still in progress as of these March 2019 photos):
Cool bikes jetlee.
Does an XB rear swingarm bolt up to Blast? I've been kicking around the idea of building up a Blast/XB.... but I'd probably have to own it forever.

Wow! A Blast can look really good with XB suspension! (Looks at Bubbles Blast in the garage with XB wheels on the shelf behind it....)
I assume the XB swing arm would be a straight bolt on (cases being so similar), but I would like to know if the triples are too?

The blast neck degree is different then a xb so your trail would be off
Blast being 25deg and xb’s being 21deg
That's good info Squidbuellie, but the mod wouldn't be for performance.
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 finish everything else.
