    I know what you mean. I like to make a bike just how I want it and that takes time and money..........also, some time riding the bike to find out it's strengths and weaknesses. It is fun trying different parts and seeing how they work on the bike or look. Ok it can be expensive, but if you buy something that does not do it for you then you can always ebay it and try something different. With the Blade, I think the standard bike is excellent, but it can be improved and tailoring it to suit you is more fun than just chasing the next incarnation.

    Very nice man, some quality mods!

    Is that an aftermarket front sprocket cover or the standard item cut away? Been thinking about trimming mine.

    Mount was designed by Rene from the Repsol forum, they were milled by Mike at FP Racing and printed with each user number at the time...mine at the time was number 3, I have the orig CNC drawings for it too if anyone's keen or has a 3 axis mill in the garage...lol

    The T Drives are top of the line Max B won his WSB title with them so if you can warp them id be shocked....lol I saw Max's and they were BRIGHT BLUE were he had them soooo hot!

    Note the mounts don't work with some wheels, Rene and Mike claim they do but they DON'T, the offset is slightly different from one make to another, yes yes you'd think they would be the same as the OEM wheel but you'd be wrong! One mm here and there matters when you only have half to start with, I know! Hence why I sold mine in the end! (and no Mike, it's not my OZ wheel! :))

    Bike looks cool Kev.
