WolffSoul: Could you please detail where the "bits" are from: Seat (Corbin?) Tail protector, and neto bars are from. I keep wallowing on pulling the trigger on a new Blast or a new Kymco People S250 scooter, but your Blast could push me in the right direction. Thanks | ||

Sorry guys. I have been working a whole lot of overtime. I will make a list of what I have on my little Webslinger....  | ||

Hey everybody. I recently purchased a Buell Blast from a buddy that shipped off to Iraq. It was yellow, and in good shape, but did not start. He was the original owner, so it just needed to be cleaned up. I did not appreciate how the thing looked, but it was fun, as you all know, so I wanted to ride it. I live in AZ, been to the twin cities a few times, lake Como(sp) I love; so I can ride year round. Long story short, I wanted to stand out in the crowd, so I tore into her and came up with this. I would really like honest opinions of the bike. Kristian over at copyright1979.com did all the customizing, even the tail. What do you think? | ||

Really very nice! A couple more pics and a brief description of all the mods would be really cool - are those the stock handle bars? Really nice job with the tail and color combos - still working on the rear of the seat itself though? EZ | ||

who made the tail section | ||
| Reuel |
Eeewwwwww!!!! Dunlops!!!!  I think it looks SHARP! I wonder if you could get white hoses and wires. | ||
| Ezblast |
What are you using as tail lights? EZ | ||
| Indybuell |
I wouldn't mount my rear turn lights so low either. Looks like a pretty big safety problem. Bike looks nice, but I would rather my lights be more visible... Unless you are using some kind of super reflective paint that blinks with the blinker  | ||

Speaking of tail lights... anyone ever used this guys kit? I figured he'd be a member of this board. http://reuelattwood.com/buell/LEDs/index.html (Looks up and see's a resemblance in names) (Message edited by evilbetty on September 29, 2008) | ||

Reuel's been a long time member and his stuff seems to be the bomb from his demo's - have yet to see it in life. EZ | ||
| Reuel |
I've heard of him somewhere ... | ||
| Indybuell |
We need to get a group buy setup I'm up for a whole system. | ||
| Reuel |
Yikes! A group buy! If I had to order a lot of parts all at once, I get a volume discount that I could pass on.  | ||
| Indybuell |
Are you printing your own circuit boards? Just wandering... | ||
| Wolffsoul |
Per Nyp797 request here is a list of what I have done on my Blast:  CRG Hindsight Bar End Mirrors Crossroads Performance Handlebars Gel Handlebar Grips Boltlock Helmet & Jacket Lock Aluminum Vance & Hines Muffler The Carb is Jetted (But I have no idea to what) K&N Hi-Flow Air Filter Corbin Gunfighter saddle (Black Carbon Fiber Leather) Buell Hero Tail Guard Rack MT75 Pirelli Tires Lightworks License Plate Frame LED Marker Lights (Clear) Lightworks Stinger LED Marker Lights (Clear) Turn signal flasher (load equalizer)  Soon to be added; CNC Bracket for Tach & Speedo Westach Tach Handlebar Risers (Message edited by wolffsoul on September 29, 2008) | ||

I print my own boards and everything is surface mounted. (Message edited by reuel on September 29, 2008) | ||

I'd love to have a set. The biggest thing I want is the action of the blinkers with the brakes. Are your electronics compatible with the standard lights? | ||
| Ezblast |
Wolfie - very sweet - I'm very glad I asked - thank you! EZ | ||
| Reuel |
The power transistors I use claim to handle the power the signals use, but I haven't tested them. I'll get on it tonight. You really get much better results with LEDs, though. | ||
| Reuel |
Just checked. One circuit handled 2 amps without even getting warm. It'll work fine with regular bulbs.  | ||
| Evilbetty |
Cool! I'm going to have to wait a little while longer though. HD still has my bike. Plus I just sank $450 in new tires, inspections, and repairs, then another $150 in a seat, bars, and grips. You don't have a do it yourself kit option do ya? (Message edited by EvilBetty on October 01, 2008) | ||

How good are you with a soldering iron?  | ||
| Evilbetty |
I am recognized at the local Radio Shack. Kidding, but I've done my share of R/C and DeVry projects over the years that I would consider myself competent | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
"I am recognized at the local Radio Shack."LOL! Are they fixing your Blast or are you still haggling? | ||
| Evilbetty |
They are waiting on parts. I'm probably going to have to eat the $100 but I'll try one last time with the GM when I go to pick it up. They told me last Friday 3-5 days for parts then assembly time (I would think these parts would be quick) But I'm sure they won't get the tire from Chaparral in time so I'm guessing mid next week  |
