    Hi fellow Bladers,
    My name is Steve and I'm from Yorkshire, I own a 56 RR6 in silver, I have had the bike just a year now and find it a great all round bike, I came back to riding after many years and have worked my way through several bikes to get to the blade, these include a Daytona 675SE a 955I, Gixer 750 and a R1 which I still have.

    At the ripe old age of 56 I still find riding a great experience and get out as much as I can weather permitting of course, I'm a regular visitor to many biker meets in Yorkshire including Squires, Seaways, Helmsley and the Whistlestop in Whitby, those of you who are from the Yorkshire area will know them well of course.

    The Blade is completley standard at the moment but have just orderd a slip on can and hope to get it sorted for the weekend, I will post up some pics as soon as I can.

    Well that's me done, cheers for now:yo:

    Good pipes mate .. I had 1 on my RR-A and 1 on my DRZ400SM and My mate had 1 on a 2008 R6 ( sounded amazing )

    Always great quality , sound and they give good HP Gains

    Get some pics of it fitted mate or better still an installation guide as i don't think there is a 04 to 07 strip down guide on here and guides has been asked for a few times .

    If its not to much trouble that is mate lol

    Dan, thanks for the review of the Scorpion, but just had an email from the supplier stating they have no stock so having to wait a while. I shall endeavor to take some pics of the install
