Good morning people, newbie here.

Well finally took the plunge and with swmbo pushing me i bought a 10 plate with 800 miles ex demo in ice white.

Have now fitted 15t front sprocket , cored cans and proceeded to set of a car alarm :thumbup

Will post some pics when figure it out.

Hope to join in with some of the banter on here , which may be more than usual with this fecking cold weather !!!!!!

looking sweet mate, not too many about in white

Good mods, what else you got planned?



Only just noticed that they changed the brembo calipers on the later models, anybody know why/what difference it makes?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys ,
yep from taz/wheels 2 weeks ago , pt ex this

couldnt resist been hankering after one ever since i rode a friends, the blade was good but no soul .
Was gonna core the cans that came with it but saw the black/ fake titanium pair for £100 , anyone who is considering coring you cans , do it such a simple thing and so much better than standard. Got to get it booked in for map2 , next on list.

Got some pazzo short levers on order, need to spray the cowl white and really want to replace the mirrors but not sure what with yet . Only managed to get out once but think im gonna need a new lid as the grin it caused is gonna wreck mine .

Nice looking bike mate.
I had a blade once, 954, as you say no soul. Was yours a millenium one?

It was an RR1 black and silver , wasn't a bad bike just didn't gel with it . Fitted all the r&g bobbins today to find that the left hand bracket as you sit on bike has a helicoil missing so bobbin bolt is too small. Also fitted new front indicators

i know the tank pad seems off center

decal on belly pan

The indicators are hein gericke about 2 yrs old now stole them off the blade , i always like dthem as they are metal not plastic , think there called arrows.

Bit off luck with decals as the company next door to work is a sign shop and good friends as he used to have a zx7r so any decals i just have alittle chat and they appear !!

Im sure oneday he will ask for money but until then i dont take the piss
