    Right guys just fitted the HPS crash protection kit for the ABS 2010 Blade...

    Well what can I say it has to be the worse kit I have ever fitted instructions were terrible the machines parts wasn't too great quality and the general fitting was awkward and difficult all told I did complete the job they do look good.

    I was shocked how long it Took to remove the plastics and the poor build quality the front nose area was terrible when re assembling has anyone else with same year bike noticed same ??

    I had a ninja before and that was easy to work on and quality was key quite disillusioned let me know your thoughts ,

    I have me more part to fit not the racefit black edition can't wait

    I thought the plastics on the bike are very cleverly engineered. A bit flimsy in places but it's very solid when all put together ... The inner air tube clips also do my head in lol ...
