Ok, so i'm pretty happy with my bike as is, there is very little I want to do, plus I have all the mechanical knowledge of a brussel sprout. There are a few minor cosmetic things that I would like to do, just to give it my own personal touch. From the forum's vast combined experience I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of the following. 1) A good place to get a single seat cowl conversion section. I have seen some on fleabay but I really don't kmow how good of a colour match they will be, (black 05 Blade). 2) I plan to remove the rear hangers, do they make a blanking plug? And if so, where can I get one? 3) Last one, for now What is the best aftermarket double bubble screen? My last bike had a Puig one, which was great. I know they make them for my model, just womdering if anyone has one and if it's any good? Thanks guys!
I've got a £20 Chinese one on my black 06 Beebop and I think it's a good match, can't see any difference with honda paint tbh; see for yourself, it's the model with the mesh cut outs. As for blanking plates, I didn't use one when I took mine off, just put the bolts back in. I'm getting some bits powder coated later this month and I may add these bolts to that order, but this is how it looks now, I use a fabbri screen, but it was on when I got the bike, works fine, I'm sure others are equally good though.
Just so you know, if the 05 is the same as the 06 model, then when you remove the pegs you need to add a bracket to support the exhaust heat shield. There is a kit sold on eBay for that(search for exhaust heat shield hanger) but I made one out of a piece of black plastic sheet I had knocking around and just dremelled it to shape. It's only a 3 inch long piece and isn't very difficult to do.
