Yes - the ones for a jeep will fit, I have the Rivera Primo 2 - HID/LED system with signals - I like it!

So EZ....with that lamp, how hard was the wiring job for the turn signal portion?
Lastly - was the whole thing plug and play, or does it take some type of electrical load box? |

It was plug and play, though you had to route the signal wires out the boot to hook up to the signals - if you get them backwards the signals won't work - lol - It was pretty easy and straight forward.
No load box needed. And all the lights are bright as hell. No police officer has even bothered pulling me over - the signal lights are that bright - front and rear.

Between the Rivera Primo 2 head light and the XBLights clear tail light with integrated signals - extra signals waiting to be broken are a thing of the past.

When you say "out of the boot" - which boot are you meaning...the boot on the back of the new headlight?
Sounds easy enough - and something that I want to do. |

The headlight housing has a rubber boot that the wires go through - feed the signal wires through that.

I'm trying to repair damaged headlight/flyscreen brackets, but I'm having trouble removing them. Is there a way to get them off without ruining them or removing the entire handlebar mount? |

Yes, they bend easily, more than once, but carefully. NO SHARP BENDS. Ease them open.
You can also drop the fork tubes, but that just as much or maybe more wok. Unless you already have the front wheel off. |

Hey all,
Question about how I can remove the shift lever peg as it is bent on my blast. |

It unscrews, counterclockwise (normal). Toe pegs used to be available separately, but I'm doubting it now. Course thread bolt (Allen is best) can be used as a replacement using your original rubber or replacement rubber from another foot peg or rubber hose. Harley shift pegs won't work because they are fine thread.
You'll also notice when you pull the peg off, they were made to bend easy, saving your shifter arm and even internal trans parts. A non-stock replacement won't offer that 'benefit'. |

I bought a new headlight on eBay, but the plug is different. I'm going to take the plug from the stock light, but I'm not sure which wire is which. Will using trial and error to find the correct match harm my lights? |

No, as long as you don't ground anything hot. Ground is usually black, sometimes white. |

Great looking bike, is the subframe from a lighting?
Does it bolt on? If not was it a lot of fab? Doing a project for my with a blast. |

The rear seating subframe is from a lightning - you have to cut the blast rear seating subframe off, and weld the s-monting on then bolt on the s frame - from there you could go stock S rear - which would not be much work or you could go my route - shaving every ounce and making my own ultra-lite inner pan, going to a small lithium battery. That bike is almost a hundred pounds lighter than stock - so I won that bet - they said it could not be done.

Swap and reverse the light brackets allows the headlight to be further up, close to the gauge much better at protecting the front wiring from the weather. This is not a hard mod and recommended for those not using the fly screen.

Had a great weekend project of plastidipping the dull, old, and worn gray frame/foot peg brackets a nice matte black. I also swapped out bars with Emgo StreetBike bars with a 2.5" rise, its honestly like a totally different bike now, feels like it should have come with bars like this. Lastly I swapped out grips and put some bar end mirrors on, the original grips were fine I just decided I didn't want to put old grips on new bars. As far as the mirrors, I had swapped them out from the original quite some time back, should have returned them though bc they didn't go far enough out to see past my body, and I'm not that wide haha. For the sake of a terrible pun that I'm sure is overused, I'm have a blast working on this Blast. Learning quite a bit and look forward to tinkering and messing around with it in the future..

Yes, the bars make a huge difference, much more than you'd expect. It goes from scooter to motorcycle!
Enjoy! |

Does anyone know what saddlebags are currently available that would fit the Blast?
How about the dimensions of the original bags that were available?
I've been looking for used ones for a while and haven't been able to find any. |

Hey everyone I have a an question/issue.
I recently purchased this universal tail light/turn signal kit off of ebay. All of the connectors are the ones like on a stock buell turn signal; however, the stock brake light on the blast is a 3 prong.
My question is, can I cut the 3 prong off of the wiring harness and replace it with the correct female adapters for the new kit? Also, will the turn signals still work even though the ground for each signal will be unplugged (new kit only has one ground for all features).
I assume I'll need the ep 36 flasher for this too
Thanks,
Chris
