I've got a Vance and Hines pipe sitting around that I've never decided whether or not I want to put on. And I'll probably throw some Pirellis on when these tires wear out. |

I would go ahead and put the Pirelli's on ASAP. The Dunlops are NOT safe. They WILL let you down. |

Here's my 2002. We repainted it and put 08 decals on it, motorcross bars, barend mirrors, grips, led turn signals and taillight, and a headlight. Haven't messed with the performance yet, I'm thinking a new air breather and exhaust will be next.

Nice, who makes the headlight? |

i got it off of ebay from pro street lighting. Its not very good though. They advertised it as an HID but its not, and not soon after installing, the cone that covers the bulb fell off. Someone else on here told me that theirs did the same thing. I guess Buell is now making a non sealed light so I will probably get one of those in the future. |

I just bought a 7" round headlight for a car and installed a Sylvannia Silverstar bulb...lights the road up great and it a hell of a lot cheaper than an actual HID conversion. |

My headlight is a Candle Power 7" H4 housing I've had it on my bike for nearly 9 years....most of that time I've been running a very hot bulb 110w/135w |

Just thought I'd post some pics of the Blast in its current evolution...

You took off the rear pegs? EZ |

Yep. Ditched them completely. My wife's not allowed to have a passenger anyway. |

Yo Naustin, do you by chance still have your old BUB pipe...? Any possibility you'd ever sell it... |

Is that your wife in the back bag or is that just her purse? Good to have you back Naustin! Maybe you can get your wife to post her experiences at the "Girls Club". |

What tachometer are you using? I like the setup you have done with the gauge cluster. I assume it is a one off!! |

Is there any way to leave the rear pegs on, while having a rearset? If so how... |

My roomate had a good idea as far as passenger pegs with rearsets go. Getting some threaded rod, cut down to size, sliding it thru the axle and putting some old fashioned freestyle bike pegs on the ends. Ill be getting on that project shortly and let ya know how it works. |

So the pegs would basically be on the swingarm? That doesn't sound like such a good idea to me, seems like you risk injuring your passenger. |

HAHA. It's creative thinking Sub.. but i would have to agree with joseph. Let me know how it turns out either way... |

Was just an idea we were tossin around. I hate riding 2 up, hence getting the rearsets. I like the excuse of "sorry, can't give ya a ride, don't have the pegs." |

Its a Givi A620. Tallest I could find. I had the passenger pegs on the bike with rear-sets installed for awhile. I just cut the forward arms off the Y shaped stock Peg hangers and left the rear part stock. That made enough room for the Banke Rear-sets. Kustom, Yes, I still have the Bub. Its got a dent in it where it bottomed out a couple times, and its got some rust flecks on it from being in storage. I don't expect to use it again. I'd be willing to sell it, except I'm not real excited about going to the trouble to pack it up and ship it. |

Oh, and the dash is the one that somebody used to sell on Ebay. The Tach is actually just an autometer analog clock. Also - Thanks Erik |

Hey Naustin, Do you still have the cut passenger pegs? If so, would you be willing to let them go? |
