 not easy to see but the top of the carb is about 1.5 inches below the brace  plenty of space for the fuse box and battery  still space for the airfilter (or foamy thing)I am going to snad down and clean up the intake . then it is on to wires!followed by a trip up to ames to talk with norice about some parts | ||
| Ezblast |
Let me get this right for myself - all you did was cut the intake and turn it so the angle was nullified and then had it welded up? EZ | ||
| Sub65chris |
yep. just cut, turn, and weld. | ||
| Djkaplan |
Interesting. You could use the XB airbox area for some kind of storage now. The bike will look clean with no scoops and such. | ||
| Naustin |
NICE JOB! Cut, turn, weld. Simple. Perfect. This thead has been bookmarked - keep it going!! | ||
| Sub65chris |
Djkaplan- good idea norice and I were talking today and that subject cameup. I tink that the airbox hinged at the back with cotter keys at the fron will be the ticket. but i am a ways away from that. soon enough. ordered many new parts today for the front end and willbe surfing for the rest to save money. by the way I think a trip to lowes is in order for the remaining hardware as hd prices are a wee bit high. | ||

I am always looking for help  (mental help) I really need to focus adn get the last few parts aquired. I think after talking with norice i am going to finish the project with mostly blast parts to make things go quicker and easier. guages , voltage regulators, little stuff. all will bolt in insted of my plan of hacking and slashing the blast harness. I am no good at wiring! so the fewer cuts the better! | ||

Exactly - I plan on taking on a Blast harness and electrical system on mine, the question is - where are you putting the battery and fuses? - I was going to get some smoked plexi and mount them on that - nice and neat in the air box. I figured with a city x kickashe airbox cover - it would look pretty cool - but you have another location? Where exactly? EZ | ||
| Sub65chris |
I am thinking that I could mount them on a plate of something mounted where the fan used to be. I will have to check wire lengths but it looks like it may work. I have a busy day ahead so hopefully tonight I can get to lowes and get the bolts I need. I will post tonight if I can get a good mock up for the main harness. | ||
| Sub65chris |
a few questions regarding what these plug into.    there are three of them and It is late adn I cant think of what they are. | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
Not sure if Im any help at all but it looks like the relay plugs on most cars. two are relays and 1 is flasher. (Message edited by ezblast on May 05, 2008) | ||
| Sub65chris |
 this connector looks like the coil plug in but it is right near the fuse box what does it go to?  this on is off of the starter but no plugin is on the harness  side view  I think I am done for tonight. what is this? holy crap i am tired. | ||
| Sub65chris |
by the way all of these are off a blast harness. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
do you have a blast manuel if not maybe some one with one may be able to tell what they are. | ||

the top is the feed to the rear lights, signals, etc.,that should plug into the stator from the regulator - that is the only two pin item on the Blast I know of,last - not sure - speedo sensor? EZ (Message edited by ezblast on May 05, 2008) | ||
| Tq_freak |
Is the last one the Neutral Light Switch? | ||
| Jos51700 |
Neutral light switch:  From stator, to regulator: (It has nothing to do with the starter, but look at your regulator)  can't see enough to know, but looks like rear light harnes on the left, and Bank Angle Sensor on the right:  | ||
| Jos51700 |
And now the big nitrous bottle goes in the airbox. | ||
| Ezblast |
Jos has got it right - though I have early Blasts so the Bank angle sensor is not there. EZ (Message edited by ezblast on May 05, 2008) | ||

i wzas thinking the notrous goes in teh space where the fan used to be. | ||
| Ezblast |
But doesn't that get in the way of the Roots or B&M Blower? EZ | ||
| Sub65chris |
thigs are slowing down. I work from 7-4 then from 5-9 m-f. my bike time is taking a hit. I am also waitning for parts from the dealership. they are good at getting them to me in a reasonable time. also trying to get a few other parts but people are just hanging on to every thing. | ||
| Sub65chris |
post for the new list of parts I need. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 354341.html?1210099939 | ||
| Ezblast |
Details are always the hardest part! EZ | ||
| Ezblast |
What body color & wheels are you going with and are you going to leave the frame silver? EZ | ||
| No_rice |

| Cityxslicker |

| Sub65chris |

| No_rice |
