    Hi all.

    My 08 blade came fitted with a Honda racing hugger but since I fitted a 55 profile tyres it's rubbing through and also Im not keen on the look anyway.

    Any recommendations from those that have a 55 profile tyre and if you have any pics that would be great.

    Thanks

    That bike really is a work of art. I was wondering what the cable is that sits just fore of the right rearset and seems to be attached to the subframe?

    Blimey, that's tight. Doesn't it rub when tyre up to temp / at high speed?

    Btw Dave, how do you find the Racetec RR? Was running Racetecs then interacts for years but currently trying some conti race attacks because they were so much cheaper.

    Thanks for all info guys. Put some spacers in for now.

    Yeh it's tight but no rubbing issues, Yeh the Racetec's RR are a great tyre, I'm running K1 front and a K2 rear, bags of confidence at all angles very stable and predictable, but if I'm honest I'm a Pirelli man and prefer my Supercorsas! There's not much in it just marginal differences in overall front end feel.
