Styxnpicks: Awesome flyscreen mod! I love the look with the dual headlights. One of the best mods of the factory screen that I've seen.

my blast has ball's

i have since moved them up a little since they were so close to the tire. i plan on building a side mount plate bracket so i can hang them just under the tail light and really let them shine. haha

cut up the rear tail section and remover the hugger fender to open it up a bit.

also cut a lil off the air scoop thinger to get to the fuel switch a lil easier. and removed the front fender, but im not sure im gonna leave it off...lol

The first puddle you hit will make you want to put the fender back on.

Yup, I too have bicycle mirrors. Third Eye bar ends, they have great visibility and minimal vibration as well. Oh, they also look really good.

Check out the wheels on this 'bolt I rode with today...



(translucid blue w/ sunfire yellow)

An unexpected stop - the Kaw on the right with the dirty tire & mirror did a little off-roading.



(newbie; low speed, target fixation, soft dirt/grass)


The braces in the "dash" area of the fairing are steel tube and the mirrors fold back, so damage in that area was limited to scratches - a Firebolt would have had a broken fairing frame and mirror... but being more flickable, a Firebolt might have helped the guy stay on the road! The Kaw's right side body fairing was trashed, but bike was still rideable and the guy wasn't hurt.

Added:

Raptor headlight fairing, dragbar(clubman), colored hand grips and no name bar end mirrors (cyclegear)

future is another set of handlebars. I like these but I cant lock my bike and the little bike lock is scary.

Djeroc: Very nice...I really like the looks of that fairing. Were there any tricks of mods needed to fit that fairing to the blast?

Djeroc: I agree heavily with Maximum, that looks GREAT! Overall, I actually really like the look of your bike...there is something aboot it that I just can't put my finger on... Now throw on some rearsets, maybe paint a piece or two, and you'll be set with a fantastic little Buell! One last thing, I USUALLY don't condone this, BUT the stock turn signals on the front actually...look...good...somehow...LoL

I think if he used a rear set of signals up front, it would look even better.

i got that fairing from flyncycle.com for a mere 20 bucks!!!

i forgot to order the special mounts for it so i had to improvise the mounting on them.

I had to unscrew the bolts at the top of the forks and get longer bolts and it ended up fitting perfectly.

ill post some more pic to show what i mean in a bit

also im not a big fan of the rearsets
i rode it 150 miles last weekend and the only thing i came back with is a terrible farmers tan (on a black guy) an a bad case of saddle burn. next projects gonna be some shocks and a seat

thanx for the thumbs up tho im really proud that this project is shaping up nicely and other folks are liking what i did

That is a nice fairing, well proportioned for the bike. Is it 2 full headlights or 1 low beam and 1 high beam.

Really the question is whats it set up for out of the box? 2 H4's? 1 low beam, 1 high? 2 H3's? Single filament bulbs? H7's? etc.

I really like that one! I was looking at that one they have and the dash fairing but it says the dash is smaller then the raptor and that one even looks a bit tiny... so idk how long did it take them to ship it to you?

LOL - they are the same except the dash has the shorter fly screen and the built in signals.
