    After much thought and sweating. I finally took the plunge and ordered myself the Rizoma rearsets for the Blade.

    Easily the most expensive bit of bling I've ordered for the bike, but bling they most certainly are. It was between these and the R&G rearsets as there isn't much else available for the ABS model, and seeing as I already had their grips, bar ends, and fluid reservoirs I went with the Rizomas.

    Just need to wait a week or so for them to arrive now :)

    Personally, I think Rizoma bling is second only to your own bespoke made stuff in the cool stakes mate. I don't even care if they're any good, it just looks gorgeous.

    Thanks Ken.

    Being an engineer I can truly see the workmanship gone into the Rizoma stuff. Even just their fluid reservoir caps are made to an exact finish. Pricey yes but with the qaulity of their kit it only adds to bike.

    It just looks so mean. If sharks had access to CAD, they'd draw Rizoma.

    I'm sure with a little ingenuity they will fit with an aftermarket exhaust. I've got an akrapovic slip-on on mine and to be honest all it'll take is either a small bracket or a different sized washer to get it to fit.

    I'll let you know how I get on and if I come up against any issues when fitting mate.
