Styxnpicks: Awesome flyscreen mod! I love the look with the dual headlights. One of the best mods of the factory screen that I've seen. | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Berki: Very funny! The top bike is wearing 'protection'. (belly pan) | ||

my blast has ball's  i have since moved them up a little since they were so close to the tire. i plan on building a side mount plate bracket so i can hang them just under the tail light and really let them shine. haha  cut up the rear tail section and remover the hugger fender to open it up a bit.  also cut a lil off the air scoop thinger to get to the fuel switch a lil easier. and removed the front fender, but im not sure im gonna leave it off...lol | ||

The first puddle you hit will make you want to put the fender back on.  | ||
| Twisty_mcwrister |
thats what i was thinking... | ||
| Kustomklassix |
NUH UH! I run fender-less, AND I don't even have a tail!! LoL, in other words, you pay for looks by getting SOAKED! | ||

Some pics from a recent trip to the "three sisters", aka the "twisted sisters", aka the "hundred mile loop".  Arrival at the Koyote Ranch, outside the mercantile & biergarten.   Scenic overlook on RR-336.  A few old Harleys, Indians, Ducatis, a Whizzer, and heavy emphasis on Vincent, BSA, Norton and Triumph - this place is thumper heaven! | ||

here my recent pics of the blast. these are better picture with the superbike bars and were im running the chase harper bag now... also the crome rear axel nut covers, of with one side has fallen off like some have said, i even drilled a divot into the axel nut for the allen screw to catch and locktited it in.. oh well.. still havnt picked mirrors....                   | ||
| Kustomklassix |
NEW MIRRORS!! NEED NEW MIRRORS!! GAH!! LoL, j/k. Looking gude Puck! | ||
| Muckerpuck |
no really i do need new mirrors,, just so many choices..... | ||
| Fast1075 |
I just got rid of my "mickey mouse ears" mirrors...I got a set of bar end mirrors at a bicycle shop...28 bux for the pair. | ||
| Kustomklassix |
Yup, I too have bicycle mirrors. Third Eye bar ends, they have great visibility and minimal vibration as well. Oh, they also look really good. | ||

Nice job on the frame & peg bracket paint! That tank bag looks pretty sweet too! | ||
| Muckerpuck |
and if ya notice the super clean wheels.shine,glint,sparkle... simple green ftw... | ||

Check out the wheels on this 'bolt I rode with today...  (translucid blue w/ sunfire yellow) An unexpected stop - the Kaw on the right with the dirty tire & mirror did a little off-roading.  (newbie; low speed, target fixation, soft dirt/grass) The braces in the "dash" area of the fairing are steel tube and the mirrors fold back, so damage in that area was limited to scratches - a Firebolt would have had a broken fairing frame and mirror... but being more flickable, a Firebolt might have helped the guy stay on the road! The Kaw's right side body fairing was trashed, but bike was still rideable and the guy wasn't hurt. | ||

i got some before and after photos of my bike ladies and gentlemen i introduce you to my bumblebee: These R pic around downtown Baton Rouge before i stared the mods      | ||
| Djeroc |
and after the mods so far        | ||
| Djeroc |
Added: Raptor headlight fairing, dragbar(clubman), colored hand grips and no name bar end mirrors (cyclegear) future is another set of handlebars. I like these but I cant lock my bike and the little bike lock is scary. | ||
| Maximum |
Djeroc: Very nice...I really like the looks of that fairing. Were there any tricks of mods needed to fit that fairing to the blast? | ||
| Kustomklassix |
Djeroc: I agree heavily with Maximum, that looks GREAT! Overall, I actually really like the look of your bike...there is something aboot it that I just can't put my finger on... Now throw on some rearsets, maybe paint a piece or two, and you'll be set with a fantastic little Buell! One last thing, I USUALLY don't condone this, BUT the stock turn signals on the front actually...look...good...somehow...LoL | ||
| Ezblast |
I think if he used a rear set of signals up front, it would look even better. EZ | ||

i got that fairing from flyncycle.com for a mere 20 bucks!!! i forgot to order the special mounts for it so i had to improvise the mounting on them. I had to unscrew the bolts at the top of the forks and get longer bolts and it ended up fitting perfectly. ill post some more pic to show what i mean in a bit also im not a big fan of the rearsets i rode it 150 miles last weekend and the only thing i came back with is a terrible farmers tan (on a black guy) an a bad case of saddle burn. next projects gonna be some shocks and a seat thanx for the thumbs up tho im really proud that this project is shaping up nicely and other folks are liking what i did | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
That is a nice fairing, well proportioned for the bike. Is it 2 full headlights or 1 low beam and 1 high beam. | ||
| Ezblast |
You could work it either way - been there had that - lol EZ | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Really the question is whats it set up for out of the box? 2 H4's? 1 low beam, 1 high? 2 H3's? Single filament bulbs? H7's? etc. | ||
| Djeroc |
im not sure....it two bulbs i hit the highs and they just flash a little brighter but i cant tell the diffrence. i gotto get some better bulbs one is already out lol | ||
| Rockstarblast1 |
I really like that one! I was looking at that one they have and the dash fairing but it says the dash is smaller then the raptor and that one even looks a bit tiny... so idk how long did it take them to ship it to you? | ||
| Ezblast |
LOL - they are the same except the dash has the shorter fly screen and the built in signals. EZ | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Thanks djeroc, question answered! |
