Handguards on Blast

[Builtdesign]

So Buellparts.net has two different style of handguards. One for Ulysses and one for Lightning.

Ulysses Handguard
Lightning Handguard

Question is would either of fit directly onto the Blast setup?

Here's a pic of someone who did it. But that doesn't mean he didn't alter or use other Buell parts:

Hey, those are my bikes.
Either of those hand guards will fit your stock blast bars as long as you have all the hardware. I'm running fat bars so the end cap requires some modification.

I don't see why they wouldn't

one bolt through the lever pivot the other end clips to a bar end plug with a tab on it. you may need to do your own hardware hunt if they aren't the same size clutch and brake
but other than that...

oh and I may be wrong, that blast is uber modified, note the XB swingarm and wheels (beyond the obvious lights and flyscreen ect) so he may have gone mad scientist on the hand guards too

darn it! typing when loose1 was posting LOL

mad props on the bikes! I had heard about them (at least I think it was them) from my roommate at homecoming, I was always curious what exactly the bike looked like.

Haha I couldn't remember who's they were.

Thanks for the quick response! So is there no difference between the two types of handguards then?

Hey loose, did you ever post about the F.I. on that Blast? Was wondering how you worked that out..

If you look at the two links you posted, both handguards have the same exact item number. They just listed them as 2 different sets on the site so people would know they fit their exact bike. The list of bikes they fit is also exactly the same.

Here's the build thread on the blast.

I've been fighting an electrical gremlin most of the summer. I think I have a half broken wire in the harness near the ecm.
There's 8" of snow on the ground and it's 0 degrees out so it's going to have to wait till spring. I've got a bigger project for the xb this winter. More to come on that.
