    Cheers, Simon. I think the 'black Vs white' wheels debate (for any theme) will go on forever. I could actually pull them off my 2004 for a look, but the disc sizes are different:(. (310mm Vs 320mm)

    Lookin' good, @Shutty . Despite all the rivalry between HRC and Repsol, they're still a great looking bike!

    But I've just got a major OCD attack on seeing your white-backed number plate.:(;)

    Nice pic and outlook! Did you 'just happen' to find that location, or has it been earmarked for a while?

    5D172F8A-6C9B-4C88-A23A-1D390FBD330D.png Knew the location.. was there on this day two years ago with a different Repsol. In the afternoon the sun is in a perfect position in winter for it

    Funnily enough there was an abandoned fridge right behind me

    Usually I would say the fridge would have made a better photo than a Repsol, but I remind myself that I recently made a public promise (to @CharlieR85 ) to not criticise Repsols ever again:D:D;).

    Thank you, mate!
    Not. Did not get them.
    I decided to sell this fork (in our country it can be sold quite expensive.) and buy a new Ohlins FGRT 204, thereby returning half the money for it.
    Theme FGRT 204 already has inside 30mm Cartridge Kit. Love it ;)

    The wheels?? Are they a straight fit? Maybe a different outlet to look at

    Just because they do not install. As far as I know, the front wheel can only be installed on OEM Ohlins RSV fork.
    The rear wheel can only be installed with a rear sprocket from Aprilia.
    The system is complicated but everything works perfectly! :cool:

    Anybody know if an 08-11 rear hugger will fit an 2015 blade? Thanks

    Thanks, mines a non abs bud. Looking at carbon original Honda rear hugger on eBay but unsure if it worth the risk as it £175
