    Good afternoon all,

    As you will see I registered back in December (lurked for a bit), then life got in the way blah blah, and now I'm finally saying hello - so hello!

    I have a 2013 Repsol Fireblade which I got brand new last year as my first Blade. I'd go on and on about it but I'm not sure what else I can say other than it's hands down the best bike I've ever ridden? :)

    Pretty much been a Kawasaki man until now, having owned a few ZXRs. I still have a 2009 ZX6R.

    Have tried the CB1000R but didn't like it (at the time, at least... didn't hate it either), streetfighters have never really been my thing but perhaps I'll revisit that avenue one day.

    Only mods so far are R&G tail tidy, Gilles race pattern gear shifter, genuine Honda carbon hugger, genuine Honda seat cowl and road-legal carbon Akrapovic slip-on.

    I've been looking for an infill panel for the Akra for absolutely ages without success! :mad: I understand Leo Vince discontinued the GP Pro (thus, infill panel too) for the 2012- Blade a while back. Keep checking eBay but it's a fruitless affair.

    Hopefully you'll be kind enough to help me should I need any info on the Blade, mods etc in the future.

    Anyway, enough talk - onto the pics,

    AD
