I picked up my 2017 Blade three weeks ago after treating my 2016 Blade in a disrespectable manner. I have K-Tech Fork Cartridges going in this week. I have installed an Ohlins TTX 36 rear shock, Factory quick shifter, and also custom fabricated / integrated Ventura (compatible) rack with tail tidy / scaffold remover. Awesome bike - Cannot believe how much better the 2017 is on the road than the 2016 even though the 16 was probably the best of them.
