Spotted this thread on FaceBook 'They stole my wheels' thread - please everyone keep an eye out , no idea whose bike it is etc. but owner must be gutted Reg: WV58 HSL stolen early this morning in Slinfold, West Sussex, United Kingdom Couple of bits to help recognise this: 1.Carbon fibre rear tyre hugger (fairly uncommon) 2. Tail tidy which is a USA import which has built in brake light and flushed indicators (again quite rare, U.K. Tail tidies still have protruding indicators) 3. Smoked front lights 4. Black stubby levers... 5. Was on 19560 miles so probably in that area still 6. Trickle charger point redirected under rear seat cowl 7. CBR decal missing on near side, the fairing had been resprayed and I never put a new one on so it's missing, they're about £30 but can only be bought from main Hondas dealerships. 8. Scorpion exhaust which also has a carbon fibre section that joins to the main fairing, again fairly rare but easy to take off and replace, 9. I had the main rider seat re clothed in alcantara suede (soft), this is probably the rarest thing on my bike so if it has a main rider seat that is different material to usual fireblades I'd say it's easy for them to not notice but very unlikely to be on other bikes. 10. The rear passenger foot pegs have been removed, may seem like a small thing but on fireblades 2008 onwards it's a much bigger job so a lot still have them
I think he's stuck it on eBay as a stolen bike too.... Let's keep our eyes open for those distinctive bits.
Yes mate my black 08 got stolen from SE10. Good idea. RE08 Gilles rear sets carbon front black long levers 35k miles tiny crack in off side fairing by rear view maxton sprung rear suspension unit from 2010 model tail tidy and 2013 style exhaust so noticeable to anyone who loves blades. Thanks for keeping an eye out people. These bastards GaryS
