Was thinking about this earlier whilst out riding the blade... What do you feel is your best mod you have done to your blade? Mine: Didn't even consider it ... Without a doubt changing from 08-11 forks to big piston units... Utterly transforming!
Pound for pound probably my HRC throttle tube!! Followed closely by 520 chain conversation -1 +2! ... And Tyres supercorsa SP's with 55 profile, HM superlight... Plus a grands worth of Ti... But the best mod was completely free... Dropping forks down by 8mm... Priceless
I know everyone so far has listed performance enhancing parts but mine has to be my Oxford heated grips. I'm a heat junkie....
Best mods on my 06 Blade , Galespeed Forged race wheels , Lithium Race battery . Ohlins Suspension . PC3.
Suspension upgrade is by far the best thing I've done. Bike is like a magic carpet ride now. Anything else I've done to the bike has made minimum difference to the bike in comparison.
Best value for money is a set up on stock suspension.... Can't beat it IMO £50 for transformed handling.... Then decent tyres for confidence Quickshifter for fun and track work Master cylinder..... Sorted the fade big time! Suspension, shock saves me a fortune on tyre wear and better suspension is just awesome as col says.... Didn't think you'd need for rod riding tbh, but the ohlins on my speed r is simply lush. I loved my hm dash but aim solo and gi pro gear indicator is actually more functional.... Have since put a full yoshi system and set up pcv! Wow... Made a big difference as low end grunt improved so much I was getting so much more speed out the corners than before.... Only thing left to do on mine would be some hpk's and discs and a stearing damper... I don't need dymag wheels, I don't need dymag wheels, I don't need dymag wheels.... But they look sooooo cool
Which Yoshi system did you put on matey as also looking for more bottom end than just top end. Cheers
Best mods Oz Piega wheels Ohlins shock Suspension set up Titanium axle set Race fit exhaust ( need to get another)
K-tech internals on the forks, fronts is just planted all the time. RandG bungs, GBR engine covers - best insurance ever Lightech chain adjusters Captive wheel spacers
What does lowering it 8mm give you? Easier to chuck it in a corner? I've had my suspension set up for my weight but they never changed the front height.
