Thnks everyone11!! I prob wont do anything to it till I get it back from our trip (Flying to Pa and then drving back down to NC thru the BlueRidge Trail...going to be great! Then when I get home, Im gettin into the Darkside and going to work on it | ||

NCB - You have a ss braided brake line - you need a fork brace - asap - first wet day and moderate pull will have the front wanting to swap with rear - the brace nullifies those forces. The sole reason Buell went from ss braided to rubber was that reason. To lessen the forces only working on one side of the bike - so the forks could more equally share in braking force, there being less to deal with. EZ | ||

Cool. Guess I will look into getting that when I order rearsets, bars, and replacement grips..Thanks for the warning, would really suck if I ate the concrete...Dude, Im starting to join the darkside..lol, I thought I had it bad with my BMW R90 but now that I have a new bike I want to customize it.. | ||
| Ezblast |
A customized Blast is a hoot!  EZ | ||

And DAJ! - lol Here is a pick of the bike with the lights on - a total of 90 watts - and it looks cool, and is less than an eighth of the weight of the Blast stock fairing and lighting - lol  EZ | ||

Here is a pic of my blast. not finished yet but maybe half way there. thinking of doing a custom seat, adding some rear-sets, removing the air-box, adding a custom filter and putting a tool bag in the air-boxes place, and getting rid of all the cali emissions junk since i'm in missouri. Oh and some more stickers too.  | ||

Welcome Todd! If you havent at least disconnected the CA charcoal canister, do so asap. It WILL leave you stranded. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/201 64/76349.html?1247694495 Do it the easy way, then pull out all the hoses and junk later. 1 golf tee and a 7/16" bolt is all you need to plug the 2 lines. Line to tank is left open. 5 minutes work. | ||
| Myappleguy |
Awesome. Thanx for the link. Will do that in the a.m. b4 my ride to work. I am looking forward to learning lots on this site.  | ||

Here's a photo of me on my Blast last Saturday - my first time riding! In an empty parking lot downtown. Just got the bike and learner's permit a couple weeks ago.  | ||

nice riding shot | ||

Just finishing up. Did the EZ airbox mod, changed the jets (48/175), Super Das Boot, and Kerker exhaust mod. I havent finished welding the exhaust yet so for tonight I am running a jerry rigged straight pipe.  | ||
| Myappleguy |
Thanx gearhead for the cali canister info. I pulled the canister off and grey sludge came oozing out. The bike is running much better now. Oh, also switched to the iridium spark plug. You guys have been an awesome resource. Thank you so very much for having this site up.  | ||
| Myappleguy |
Got the exhaust welded up and back on today.  Bike is running much better. still back fires some times if i roll into the throttle too fast though. Should i have went with the 180 jet??? | ||
| Myappleguy |
Maybe i need to shim the needle??? will probably try that next.  | ||
| Ezblast |
Yes to 180 and shimming the needle! - Nice! EZ | ||

Air screw 2 3/4 turns out from bottom as well. EZ | ||

OK, here's the most recent look of the dragon blaster. the only planned changes are painting the wheels, swingarm & fork white and the grey part of the crankcase to black. i will do something with the Y-arms some day but the current rearsets are too expensive. performance-wise, i also plan to add a fork brace, headlight conversion, and maybe someday a 515 kit.  | ||

finally, the view most people on the street get...the rear.  | ||
| Ezblast |
Well executed! Looks great! And your definitely styling! Thats really an original mounting of the mirror/signals - good thinking! EZ |
