Thanks Si, I got her at a really good price last Sept, only had 1500 very slow miles too ! I've changed the pipe to a Leo Vince affair that is ridiculously loud without the baffles in - nice... Anyone spotted the "not so obvious" yet ? You'd be amazed how many people it throws when you park up at the dealers !
No, it was a winter project. I've always wanted a Blade but had to settle for a CB1000R due to a neck injury (motocross), by chance I came across this kit from "up north" and that kind of opened the door so to say. It's a nice piece of engineering and you get everything you need to fit it yourself (minus tools of course). Yes you have to trim the fairing a tad but not much and if you do it right it's hardly noticeable. It's a very similar riding position to the CB1000R / 600 Hornet but your knees are slightly higher. I'm no slower on the track as a result and I can ride all day with no pain anywhere ! I was a bit skeptical before I started but their burb is true, it really is a lot more comfortable and the bike is way easier to control in traffic etc...
