    Hi all, came across this site after searching the web for parts for my 04 Blade. Had the bike since 2005 after buying it from a mate who bought it new. Its been to Scotland, Nurbergring Ring and Assen. In 2007 I decided to convert it to a track bike and have used it on track ever since and it has done about 3,000 track miles without any problems at all, just oil and filter changes every 2 days. honda reliability or what !!!
    Best mods must be doing the suspension, maxton fork kit in the front and a maxton rear shock which have transformed the bike on track.
    Anyway I am looking for some parts as I took a big tumble at Oulton 3 weeks ago and the bike came off a bit worse than me so will place an add in the relevant secion.
    Cheers
    Gav.
