I fitted an R&G tail tidy today's and an integrated tail light and indicators... Looks nice just fairing to stick back on in morning I'll post up pics when done
Great exhausts! Excellent build quality and weight savings 5kgs over stock end can. The noise it makes is incredible, love mine
Got the track bike ready for Silverstone on Tuesday,checked oil levels, tyre pressures and tested tyre warmers, etc etc, all ready ...woohoo !!
Give the track bike the once over before Cadders on Monday, plus fit the Acumen DG8 gear indicator that was on my road bike as I'll get more use out of it on track. Should help me be more consistent with my gear selections and save me from accidentally going down into Mansfield in 1st and wondering why I'm heading down hill on the back wheel after a short blip and the back wheel skating around under engine braking when I tip in
Increased the preload by 2 notches at the rear (could maybe have done 2 more) and took my 21 y.o. son out on the back. Bike performed faultlessly except for feeling like a dog dragging its arse everywhere. Good day tho.
Managed to do the impossible after 4 years of searching. They are the fg329 mark 2 as well. Will be putting up my 2004 forks with 25mm cartridge kit and my stock 2005 forks for sale soon.
I know mate. Was delighted. Wait till I do a post off all the goodies to go on. It's the end of my build project. Regret not making a thread about it now though.
Not the blade but my old gixer which I gave to my mate 6 years ago decided to kill it's self, we think it's the gear box but not 100% so engine out today ready for dissecting.
Mine had its annual fettle at the recently opened North West Honda in Wigan. I also got them to fit an R&G tail tidy whilst it was in with them. Looks really good now with an 8x7 plate on. Should have sorted this ages ago. They seem a good bunch of guys - give em a go if you are within a reasonable distance of Wigan.
Finally got the bike back and done a few things. Replaced the Kyle block offs with the Ten Kate Version Refitted the HRC Breather kit to the Honda Racing Spec. Fitted a black SP subframe Fitted the ohlins bracket and alloy adjuster Fitted orange R&G Lifters Fitted endurance lifters to the swingarm
I love it, I had one on my 2011 blade and decided to fit this one to my 2015 blade, even though it meant buying another new one as the 2011 doesn't fit the 2015 blade as the downpipes are larger on the 2015. If you like a loud bike and an exhaust that looks good, it's the best out there, but if you don't like a loud bike, stay well away from it. They do require a remap though, without it you'll have hunting a low rpm and a loss of torque. Once mapped you'll have a great bike.
