    Looking for some carbon BST's for a 2011 blade. Apart from Bike HPS does anyone know anywhere else that supplies them?

    Expensive i know, but i've been looking at 2nd hand ones on ebay and they really hold their value. Plus, I think i'll have a blade in the garage for track use for a long time to come.

    I cannot wait to try these out!!!!

    JEALOUS !!!! Iv wanted a set for a while now. I was watching a set on bay that went for nearly 2 grand. Nice set of PVM's on there now under a grand.

    Iv only seen them at HPS also. Buy now pay later sounds good till they tell you its nearly 30% apr after the year

    Sadly thats what i expected - only from HPS. :(

    I'll post some pics and a bit of blurb when i get them.

    Actually, Rob - is there anyway you can get a discount code for members of the site for Bike HPS?!! i'll let you try the BST's if you can do it!

    Chris

    Before you buy a set, give my mate Arthur a ring, he'll be able to get you some discount from HPS!!!

    He's already got a set of carbon ones on his Blade.

    I thought that you were going for the James Bond look rather than the blacken'd up undercover cop look!!! Give me a shout next week

    Cheers
    Rich

    Lovely wheels indeed. A mate put a set on his 08 Blade. I just couldn't afford them so I opted for PVM's instead.

    Cheers Rich,

    I've got a massive list for Arthur do do! Its definitely a good shout if he can get discount. I spoke to one of the owners there yesterday and he's a really nice chap and said we might be able to work something out as I'm also looking at other bits :)

    Lol - i'm toying with selling the black up and getting a Bond, or chucking some dough at the black-up and keeping her - still not decided but one thing is for sure that anyone who sees the porker loves it.. so i just dunno! Also need some shit box 4x4 to tow the bike.

    Damn, why is all good stuff so expensive!

    Sorry i dint call u on wed, thought you might be pre-occupied.

    chris

    Your not wrong, you could sell the blade and have a proper tricked up R1, full Akra race system, bazzaz with tc + qs, BMC Air Filter, BST Wheels etc and still have change for the kitchen...................especially if you were to sell all the standard fairings, lights etc

    They look *really* nice.

    Liking the right-angled valves as well. Hate having to get air hoses onto the standard ones.
