Don’t want to be caught riding a stock Buell? ITSABLAST is a very appealing kit designed and produced by Redneck Enginuity where can keep the performance of a Buell Blast but turn it in a very pretty custom bike. The arched back bone frame kit uses the engine as a stressed member and allows to use the stock drive train, front end, wheels, tires, brakes, drive belt, pulley, coil, regulator, handle bars, controls and kickstand, just about everything. This Buell ITSABLAST Kit includes frame, oil tank, gas tank, foot control mounts, and seat pan. Just add paint, pipe, pegs and air cleaner. Pretty cool for $2995.00. Red Neck Ingenuity. Call on my behalf 864-843-3001 or go to Red Neck Enginuity.
A Buell Kit To Make It A Custom Hit

Wow- that is very cool- and very reasonable- very clever way to recycle all the Blasts littering the landscape these days…..
Pretty conversion. About to like the Buell.
Looking good. But the seat! How not to slide out of this one? it’s a sport bike. You need to stay on it!
An excellent example of doing “more with less.”
Probably a lesson to which many of us should pay attention.
Thanks Cyril.

Ron, a master tech at Barnett Harley Davidson in Hell Paso Texas is building this exact machine in his secret facility
Since when is a Blast a sportbike?
RE:
“…Blast a sportbike?…”
Sure, just add nitrous and a blower…… 🙂

The Blast is a mighty fine ‘sport’ bike. It may not be the fastest in a straight line, but throw a couple corners into the mix and it hangs with the big-uns no problem. They do top out at ~95, which across the US is still above the speed limit 😛
It’s not a crotch rocket. People think power is the deciding factor, but watch the Blast outmaneuver and outbrake their crotch rockets, and you can forgive the high-torque, low HP engine. It still outruns most cars on the straights. 🙂
Sweet job! Truelly a nice usage of a Blast – though a Buell purest, still I like this bike – its that nicely done!
EZ
RE:
“… people think power is the deciding factor…”
Ya….. gimmy the blower and the nitrous.
Why settle for just “keeping up.”…. 🙂
Hell, it works for Goldammer, he tops out over 150.

Yeah , however mass production would be tedious, but a Blast is the perfect canvass to have a Blast on!
I love this kit. I first learned to ride on my blast now it will be great to look more sophisticated and grown up on this beauty!!!!
WOW looks slick , I recently bought a wrecked 2005 with 800 miles on it I was going to build a longer swing arm relocate the shock ( closer to pivot shaft ) to gain ground clearance and switch to a taller front wheel and D.O.T. legal dirt tires . but Damn that looks cool.. well decisions decisions … I’ll post a picture when I’m done . Any one intrested in a dual sport blast?
What do you think it would cost all in to put a bike together similar to the one in the photo? I have the blast and I would buy the frame for 3K. The additional cost would be the labor to assemble, the paint, the seat, and a few additional minor pieces as noted. Could you give a ball park guess?
Thanks
i just found my next project
2000 for a buell
3000 for the kit
2000 for enging up grade kit
but would be better to tackle the this on my own, or have a shop do it,,,,,,,,a shop it is
now i need to find a turbo
what is wrong with buell blasts? it was one of my first bikes and i never had a problem with it, so why does it need to be twisted into that? my point being why take a perfectly good beginner bike and take all its functionality away?
Excerpt
Ron Woods and C&J made frames for Blast Flat Trackers. Also try Japanese company Sundance. They made this Blast Street Tracker. Scroll down thru postings to pictures. That is what Eric should do with the Blast.

Noting I do like Rednecks custom streeter as well either would be far better than the crunch on the other post.

Thanks for the link.
RE:
“… Chris Carr & others were using a Harley-Davidson ‘XR500’ Blast engined bike back in 2003…”
That little bugger is way cool.
Could even fit my humble budget… 🙂
Would make a great Parts-Runner.

personal i’m glad someone took a blast to another level, yea it’s a beginner bike but nothings wrong with a sweet ride that can move around too, bikes are made to be pulled away from stock look and redesigned with an idea in someones head knowing what they want
thats a cool idea,ive looked at many pics an this is at the top of my list. I rececently done a project with my 03 stretch,lowered,raked,and converted to a chain drive to allow for a bigger,fater wheel.Also some custom fairings where made and added to give it a mid-evel,bigger look,as well as a race kit for a little more performance.
I just picked up a 2004 blast cheap and wanted to use it for a donor for a chopper style conversion anyone have any ideas?
