You can stck them on top of the original badges or with some dental floss And a hairdryer remove the originals and stick these on.same thickness As a tank protector.
Fitted my replacement left wingmirror. Santa came late this week (courtesy of Demon Tweeks and SportsBikeShop) and have new bits to stick on
Just ordered some long ASV levers in black. Was debating between those and the harris ones and finally decided on the ASV's.
I took the rear CRC track fiaring off as I'm going with the standard rear end. fitted the standard one back on. hoping to buy a standard rear fairing in the next few months and spray it up to match the track fairing so it matches. Tart I know
I do it every winter mike, the shock linkage is open to being covered in crap, and has 4 moving joints each with their own roller bearing, so they can take a bit of a beating through the year. I posted else where about these bearings being susceptible to wearing and thus fail an mot so i like to keep on top and make sure all is working well, cleaned up and well greased, ( 2008 model with 26000 on the clock )
also keep an eye on your sumps around the bung as on the last blade site I was on there was seven member's with 04-07 bikes that the salt rotted holes in them.
no this was definitely due to salt.two fellas bikes started leaking oil as there was holes right through the sump. although they were out of warranty honda did replace the sumps as a goodwill gesture. I know some have had issues with the plug itself but as you can see in this pic bits of the sump well away from the plug are rotting through.
Today I removed the pillion pegs from my 2010 blade.. All I can say is- WHAT A FUCKING MISSION. One things for sure I am NEVER putting them back on not only does it look a hell of a lot better but it has to be the most tedious thing I've done all week
Lol I'm sure when I'm old enough for a wife I will blagged into putting them back on! Looks really nice though would deffo suggest taking them off. No idea why honda have secured them to the inside of the subframe???
Not a thing, didnt even look at it once which must be a first, too bloomin cold. Sat by the fire all day with the papers and watched rugby online.
to stop people removing them, same way people like Audi use special screws to secure stuff just so you have to pay the dealer to do it.
I thought as much!! B**tards!! It isn't anything that requires a bike mechanic it just takes a while, is this a theme Honda are sticking with from 2010 onwards then? The pillion pegs on my '08 600RR came off in a jiffy!!!
It always worries me having to, leave the bike balanced like that when both wheels have to be off at the same time, so i use an ABBA stand now :-0
They bolt onto where the pillion pegs do on the inside of the subframe then you can bolt the pillion pegs onto the bit that hangs below the subframe. Circled it for you below. That make sense ?
