    Hi chaps
    Sorry if this has been done a million times but can anybody tell me or point me to correct post for doing this mod to the 09 blade have tried a search biut can't seem to find much am I right in thinking that the tubes which go from under nose to each side of the fairings which connect to the silver diaphragms inside the fairing are what I should be looking at disconnecting or blocking ?

    As always your help is greatly appreciated

    Cheers
    Brian

    But is this really worth doing, I read the post from the other forum and he says "a little smoother and less hesitant" maybe my blade is special but it doesn't seem to be hesitant and there's no problem with smoothness??

    Hi there, have a little look at my post "busy in the garage" it might be helpful.

    If anything it does make taking the fairings off a lot easier with all the gubbings gone.

    It's a bit different to the 04-07 model which is a big easier

    Totally agree with dave on this as I've just stripped mine down after my accident and it will be a hell of a lot easier putting them back on with this lot stripped out

    Yes don't really fancy forcing those flaps out the intakes and how much of a pain is it to get them back in seems a lot of work for a small gain and reading reviews people seem to split on on doing it

    If I decide to treat the bike to some carbon intakes then it will get done, truthfully I can't be arsed with the hassle :)
