    Having been on the s1k's for last 10 years I took the plunge and split my gen3 for parts, and went with a blade again, had blades for 7 years prior to the bm's, and the latest ones in stock form, on paper at least, look awesome, so thought fuck it, why not. I've built this up from a chassis+engine, I usually strip a bike first before I build it so was a bit of learning curve as there are no workshop manuals for the sc82 yet. Luckily I'm friendly with Jackson racing who have helped me when I got stuck a couple of things. Full HRC package(ECU, electrics etc) and I took the complete front end off my s1k to graft onto the blade, I loved the maxton/brembo set up in the BM. Took a little bit of engineering but again, know a man that can ( Mick shanley, honda wsbk cheif engineer). So first outing at Jerez in a couple of weeks, be interesting to see how I go on it after so long in the beemer. Hopefully haven't made a huge mistake....

    I'm about 10 years behind you then as you may remember that I bought my Gen 3 track bike late last year.
    Still got a Blade road bike though.

    Where did you get your graphics from BTW. Are they Sublime?
