My buddy that's into Buells sent me this e-bay listing on a Blast bobber.  Don't care to much for the tank. The rest looks cool. Buell Blast Bob

After riding a few I am a fan of Buells also, but for their sporting nature and grunty twins. Just reallllly fun bikes.

So, this Buell guy tries to make a better Harley and then some other guy turns it back into a Harley? Seems magical...

That's the impression I also got after he went back into the HD fold.

Some guys make some pretty good drag bikes out of Buell's, there was a write up on one in the Horse mag that got me thinking. A guy used a buell motor on a Sportster frame that had a long rigid rear end welded on it with sports bike wheels........ 1200cc make pretty good Hp so it would be fun!
TBA, Stainless extractors / drag pipes, 65mm over forward controls, Thruxton needles, 904cc, head ported, lowered 1-inch, Console removed, relocated battery box, Australia.

I'd like to see one of these made from the front half of a Patrick Racing 120. It'd be a beast!

Wait, what happened to the rear cylinder? Somebody steal it or did it just fall off?

Why oh why oh why did they have to make it a hardtail? That said, she's still a prety bike. After messing with my Mrs' 'Zuk Savage, I have a new apprecaition for thumpers and I'd LOVE to have a chance to take this little sucker for a spin.

Well it didn't meet the reserve. Wonder if they sold it anyway?
