Has anyone modified a Buell Blast windscreen or added Buell blast turn signals to thier bikes?

Any interesting mods'? Love to hear about them.

one comment about Buell signals...

I just got my front's on and they looked funny to me.. this was at night, so I waited until the next morning and looked again in the daylight.. sure enough, I wan't hallucinating, the outer smoke colored lenses were different degrees of 'smokey'.  one was very dark, and the other nearly clear  :?

weird, but true...:dunno:    I'm not sure if I got different years, or different manufacturing lots or what, but it was detectable and it bugged the crap out of me until I noticed the same thing with my rear sigs.  So I just swapped one rear lense with one front lense and now I can ride without feeling like my sigs don't match.

so the moral of the story is CHECK THE LENSES before taking the signals out of the store.  Make sure that they are both tinted the same.

peace

You can blame Harley manufacturing tolerances (possibly worse than Suzuki!?). When I bought my 4 together 3 were smokey and one was BLUE! Went back and rummaged through the lot until I found a match...The blue was an anomaly, or so I thought.

If you have 2 matching, then just put the matching ones together on front and/or rear. If not go back and get them to give you matching ones like I did.
