    Hi, This is my 2009 HRC Blade. Only had it for 2 months.

    It is fitted with a Taylor Made exhaust, short brake and clutch levers(fitted after photos), tail tidy. Also put a photo of my new garage floor. What do you think?

    I'm ashamed to say I had it for 3 years and chopped it for a Triumph Tiger would you believe, doh!! Bought it from Marriotts in Birkenhead in the August of 92 for a hefty £7250 and picked the reg K992 NCM K9 (a dog it wasn't) 92 (the year) NCM (errm) Had a Micron race can on it then had it dynojetted and dynod at 121 BHP. I've added pics of my other bikes in the post "bikes owned in the past" I think it's called.

    Very nice setup there bud.

    Don't know if you're still an active member but can someone tell me if the carbon fibre exhaust cover holds up well?

    Haven't seen many around.

    I had one on my bike until I got a slip-on can, had no problems whatsoever with it;

    Phantom: The Taylor made exhaust is nice and loud, I always wear earplugs when riding anyway, so I would imagine it's even louder than I think. There is a tunnel running through ring road in Leeds and I usually try to hammer the bike through there whenever I can.
    I had twin Yoshi carbon cans on my previous R1 and I thought they sounded good, but I have to admit the CBR sounds even better.

    Martinowen: The flooring is from a company off E-Bay. Its 12mm anti fatigue flooring, similar to what they put in gyms. Its easy to cut and fit and is comfy under my old knees when I am working on bike etc.
