I went with the Crossroads rear-sets and custom exhaust for the commuter Blast. The daily rider now has a very similar, but just a tad more relaxed, ergonomics than the CR. However the CR is a vastly different ride than the highly modified Blast. Both carry top of the line suspension parts, Brakes, bars, etc. - When I started studying the differences in how the bikes handled - it came down to two things - weight and power. Because the Blast is light and only a 3rd as powerful modified as the Stock-ish CR- I ride it with much more ease, it easily goes deep into the turns, and powers out with all its gusto, and on the "Pace" side of riding I can keep braking to a minimum and easily keep it to twenty over. With this setup goat-trail roads are fun all day long, and can be done at a brisk pace. The CR, on the other hand, due to its weight and power, is all about controlled braking, setting the curve - transitioning, and then powering out controlled as well - the pace can be done, however, the work required for the CR is much more present by the days end. And forget a day of goat trails - I'd be happy to do four hours of goat roads on the CR so far, but I'm getting better, and can now bring it to the same speeds as the single on the moderate twisties.
I've got a long way to go! I love learning!
