    Kent didn't get it all their own way Dave. They ended up with all the women. LOL.

    Up here in Yorkshire we ended up with all the best roads, just goes to show you can't have it all.

    Thanks for the welcome and comments chaps, judging by the gallery there's some great looking bikes on here, looking forward to meeting some of you one day out and about.

    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
    I did my own on 05 blade, relatively simple once i had replaced the clamp with the seized bolt stuck in it- bloody expensive about £70 quid per half if I remember correctly!- make sure you soak it in wd40 before trying to undo!!!!

    Dead right jonny, we're not short of some cracking roads up here as well, but I will say the councils are spending f-ck all on resurfacing up here. Some are an absolute disgrace now, had a little blast last night came round a bend leant over and went straight over a hole. The bugger nearly had me off. Total disgrace.

    It's the same everywhere, councils strapped for cash because of budget cuts, despite this government receiving millions in road taxation it's been spent elsewhere I'm afraid... fooking joke!

    Shouldn't be difficult recognising a one eyed rider from Whitby, I was there today for a couple of hours.

    Lovely bike, very clean. I fitted a Beowulf (good price, lifetime gaurantee and well made)to my rr5 it sounded great even with the baffle in, changed the air filters and did the flapper mod, mid range gain was really noticable. If you get stuck with the exhaust change I used this write up on-

    Thanks for the comments and heads up on the hardracing exhaust change, I'm pretty handy swinging a wrench and socket and hopefully won't come across any major problems but any information or instructions are always helpfull and very much appreciated, Thanks again Shameless.
