I bought mine second hand if your willing to wait there are bargains to be had but revalving etc will still make a big change to how the bike feels
Ray, I have a non abs Anniversary edition with Gilles as-31-gt rear sets fitted also with an Akra end can. I struggled to get clearance on the swing arm with the Akra hanger. I ended up adjusting the ferral and rubber grommet on the rearset (the ferral was to long and when you tightened the bolt it pushed the hanger towards the swing arm). I also cut the back of the rubber grommet. These 2 mods ment when tightening bolt it drew the end can hanger towards the rear set and away from the swing arm. The Honda reservoir bracket should be removed and a spacer fitted when installing the rear set. Hope that made sense![/QUOTE] Cheers Bry I'll bear that in mind when I get to buying a set after I get the Akers fitted.
So here's my next addition to the Blade thanks to Jamie's input. Gilles VCR Rear Sets with Red adjusters. As anyone seen them at a better price than £436 at all?
Ive got TTX on the rear and Ktech SSK 25mm in the front for superstock regulations. I dont think youd need any more on the front end as the cartridge kit is amazing and more suited to roads. Ohlins stuff is great on silky smooth but ktech seems preferred for roads by most racers. TTX Ktech
So update on the "Covert' Re-Flash! Blades back in the garage and sounding sweet as a fiiiiiiiiiing nut! Insert Massive Grin here! Only pic for now was the mooch over the tops into Halifax way! Nice bit of "Billy Free" roads, if not bumpy as hell, managed to spin back end a couple of times "Such Fun!" More sexy shots to follow when the rest of my 'Dream Shopping' List comes to fruition! Roll on tomorrows 'Swimming Session" just hope the currier dose not arrive to early with 2 rather large boxes LOL 'Timing is curtail on the 'Covert Missions" Thank whoever, for the inventing "Big Bike Covers" its saving my bacon for now!!!
