    Hi Chaps,

    Has anyone removed the front 'nose' cowl from the 08-11 blade?

    I'm in the process of putting shitty Chinese fairings on for track and the the front looks like a bit of a nightmare - especially if they are as poor fitting as the back then its gonna be a ball-ache!

    I havnt taken the nose off but i have removed both sides . It took me a while to suss out but you have to remove avery thing under the nose and around the rad to get to the last fixings that releases the side panels and then the belly pan slots back and droops down . After that im guessing you just remove the mirrors and the nose comes away
