    Hi all, I'm new here.

    I purchased a 2015 HRC abs Blade yesterday as a present to myself after a year of hard work. My last bike was a 929 blade that i sold in 2005 so looking forward to getting back into biking again as i have so missed it. Cars just arnt as much fun.

    Any advice or tips are most welcome as are any ride outs in the south east as i dont have any biking mates anymore! vehicle3201_9.jpg

    Thanks, love the colour, very eye catching as only made for a year, + white wheels which will save me getting them powder coated when I get my arse in gear to rothmans livery it :)

    It’s a Chinese version of the SP seat cowl which I got from eBay a few years ago for about £45. It comes unpainted so had to give it a few coats with an aerosol can. It’s actually a surprisingly good fit, glad I didn’t shell out £229 for the original Honda cowl.
