    Not sure if this is correct place to post, but I've just taken delivery of the my new repsol blade - like a kiddy at Christmas i was!

    I have added some pictures of the beast to my photo album as I don't how or where else to put them.

    Additional mods will follow in due course, but at this stage it has a bubble repsol screen, e-cushion seat, repsol hugger, akra slip-on exhaust (baffle still in tact at this stage) repsol seat cowl, R and G crash bungs, R and G tail tidy and an integral opitimate fuse lead. I've also had most of the manufacturers warning/safety stickers removed.

    Looking to do change the rear sets, clutch and brake levers, adding a rad guard, bar ends and possibly cotton reels at some point soon. (and anything else that catches my attention while out and about.

    Hope you like..........

    Mick

    Hello Rob,

    the hugger for the ABS version wasn't available until quite recently. Even the guys in the shop weren't aware it was available until I asked them to check with Honda.

    Thanks for all the comments guys - been out in the garage all day admiring her, the wife thinks I'm in love all over again!

    I'd already scoped out both your bikes before I made the decision to buy mined - loved them both which formed part of my decision!
