    I seem to have the same affliction ... after my obsession with the RG I said to all who would listen that the Blade would stay standard with the exception of crash bungs :)

    That lasted about 2 weeks ........... :der:

    Thank God I've found like minded people.

    My wife always says "why would you not leave the bike/car as the manufacturer intended it"?

    IMO Definitely need a brembo and hoses, rear sets, a decent can and PCV, radiator guard and hugger and tail tidy.

    If your not after peformance but just want to add things to look after your bike a bit then a hugger and radiator guard are a good stating point as stones can wreck the radiator and undertray etc.

    Did you say you had a double bubble screen mate ?

    That made a huge difference deflecting wind over my head.. Any thing over 140 and my head was getting a beating. Nothing with th DB screen and less noise aswell

    Apart from that you got all the good mods with out spending silly money. Protection for the bike nis always good or maybe upgrade some of your riding gear ?

    More power but massively more feel which was a great improvment as I found the stock set up a bit wooden in how much feel was present IMO

    Bought it on ebay a few years ago and had it fitted to my ZX6 for a couple of years and thats the beauty of it too i.e. it will fit all bikes so you can move it one to your new model.

    All the big internet performance parts suppliers sell them but if you buy a nearly new one ebay you obviously save yourself a few quid.


    Although no perosnal experience of PT I have heard good things about them and I believe some high profile race teams use their products too and they are much cheaper than Brembo at £145 instead of circa £225 - 245 for a Brembo item.

    Must agree their website ain't great, but if they are willing to sell items considerably cheaper than others I'm willing to put up with a poor website.

    Just have to use the old fashioned phone or send them an email :)

    He's hopeless with emails too

    Just give jim a ring. He is a proper brembo dealer.

    He was loads cheaper with my brembo and just bout a hm shifter from him which was about £80 cheaper than the likes of SMR etc.

    Oh yeah you can't use your ASV brake lever with it but I bloody hated my ASVs anyway so was glad to sell them in after just 1 ride.
