I'm looking to get a new pipe for my wifes blast. Anyone have any suggestions on what pipe works well on that bike. | ||

You can check in the Thumper knowledge vault, lots of info in there. | ||

I put a V&H slip-on on my ex's blast and it sounded and looked great! There seemed to be a big power increase but it was mostly in the top end. The pipe is a lot louder than most I believe. 12bolt | ||

Current exhausts are: Vance and Hines, D&D, Pro-Series, and Jardine. Past makers include: Force, White Brothers, Bub, and Kerker - Whileco is the unobtainable - all the rest now discontinued for one reason or the other. Custom units are not unheard of - the Thumper KV covers most of it pretty well - give it a read. GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

I saw a blast just recently that had an interesting dual outlet exhaust. What kind of pipe was that? | ||

thank you all for the info. | ||

That's the factory Pro-Series pipe. http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes_gear/accessories/productslist.asp?Menu_ID=4&ID=1929&MITEM=75&bike_id=3 IMHO, it will not give you the most top end, and not the lightest pipe out there. But, I thinks it fills the mid-range nicely, and is the most robust. I've run one on my bike for the lat 15,000 miles or so. James (Message edited by jprovo on January 08, 2005) | ||

I had the Vance and Hines also, I loved it. It was loud, louder than a lot of twins. | ||

I heard this nice sounding bike at an intersection the other day. I saw a Blast but at first I did not realize that was what sounded so good. When I got on the highway I looked to see what pipe he had when I passed him. It was a V&H. If I had a Blast I would look into that pipe just for the sound. | ||

I too was impressed by the sound of the V&H. I test rode one and the note was SWEEEEEET! Power was good too. I was impressed at how the Blast moved by 230 lb lardy butt  | ||

I've had a Bub (old style), a Vance & Hines, the Pro Series, and a coddled up Cherry Bomb on the V&H head pipe. Pro Series, hands down. Good sound. No packing to worry about - so no maintenance. Robust. Nice power everywhere. Only downside - it's robustness comes with a weight penalty. You ain't racin', so just live with it. Unless you're racing and trying to do something really specific, just go with the Pro Series. -Saro | ||

Most power: Force, WB. Most torque: WB, Bub. The rest stand in between somewhere - lol GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

The V&H on my wife's blast is nice IMHO. The blast in stock form sounds too much like a Briggs powered mini-bike  | ||

I have been very happy with the Pro Series on mine. That and rejet made all the difference in the world. Sandy | ||

Greg - Get a Blast. You'll like it Are you talking to me? It seems like this site has more than a few Gregs. I would not mind owning a Blast except for the size. When I rode one it just felt like a kids bike to me. A nice kids bike but still really small. I am a goofy looking guy with long arms and legs and I just felt downright cramped. That is partially why i love the CityX so much. The seat height is taller and feels far better to me. If they were just a little bigger I would probably already have one.} | ||

I had a small cherry-bomb muffler and pipe custom build for my Blast, and it sounds a bit like a machine gun! Cost $90, and is sturdier and lighter than the stock... (Message edited by joey on January 10, 2005) |
