OK, then:
Superbike bars, K&N filter, Corbin seat, windscreen, Fieldsheer Highland suit, factory tank bag, maybe the Ventura rack if the tank bag isn't enough (should be), and new handgrips.
How hard is the windscreen to put on? Just a couple holes to drill? |

If you are asking about the factory wind screen it is a quick install. no holes to drill. Remove existing fly screen, switch the headlight bracket bolts for longer ones (provided with added brackets)put new windshield in place tightn up and go for a ride.

I would recommend the Givi over the factory offering - same price range, works as well, and better looking and mounts almost as easily. That said - sounds like you have a plan! Enjoy!

I'm a potential future blast owner as well, and I have a few concerns. After not owning a bike for 20 years, I took the MSF course last year on a blast which I could easily flat foot both seat heights. After taking the course, I looked around and ended up with a BMW F650GS which was on the edge of comfort seat height wise for me - tippy toes. Other than that, I loved the bike. It had plenty of power for me, but I did not take it off road. Now I'm looking at a blast- lower cost which I can afford, and lower seat. All that for this- I do not do much, if any, of my own mechanical work. I will be at the mercy of the dealer or a local} bike shop. Our local HD dealer looks at Buell as a red-haired stepchild, and at the blast as a necessary toy for the poor slobs in the MSF class. I really like quirky, funky, sorta things - remember the old Saab hatchbacks, so I really want the blast to workout. But I do fear dealer indifference and lack of mechanical aptitude for my future baby. What to do? |

Buy the bike and enjoy - if you have any troubles - that above link is the best area Buell support group you'll ever need, and you may never see a dealer!

Welcome Packfan!
My choice was between the Blast and 650GS. I (obviously) chose the Blast. Simplicity and price were big factors.
If you buy a brand new bike with a 2 year warranty (possibly purchase the extended warranty), you shouldnt have anything to worry about as long as the dealer does any repairs (which should be few, if any, outside of regular minimal maintenance). |
