HELLO, THOUGHT I WOULD JOIN UP AS I HAVE JUST CHANGED FROM A 2008 R6 TO A 2011 CASTROL FIREBLADE. WILL HOPEFULLY POST SOME PICS OF IT IF SOMEONE COULD POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF HOW TO. ONCE AGAIN HELLO:blink:
Welcome t&biskits Did you buy from bridge in Exeter or was it a bransons baby? I Only live just outside of exeter so will look out for you if your a westbay visiter!
Hello there, I am in yeovil to I bought my HRC blade three weeks ago after having a 99 R1 and its amazing. Love the castrol blade, was it the one in bransons ? For the pics open a photobucket account, add your pics then copy in the link from under the picture to your post and they will show up. I really need to put some pics of my bike up soon ! Welcome to the site
yes, it was the one in branson`s, unfortunately it hasn`t gone very smoothly with my new purchase!!!!!. picked up the bike 6/5/11, got it home, put in the garage as it p**sed down. couple of days later had a good look around it, not happy. Scratches on tank, tail unit, & screen. Ducting under headlights not fitted correctly, ducting running into side of frame (airducts), not fitted correctly i.e. left side flush to frame , right side fit fingers down gap between frame & duct!. also had R&G tailtidy fitted, i think it was one of those `f**k it , it will do as it`s not my bike jobs`. took the bike back , had to wait for Dream Mc to come down a week later to have a look.(they do the paint apparently).after they had look a new tank /screen/ tail unit were to be painted up. was told i could have the bike back whilst they wait for parts to be painted. i did inform branson`s that i would have it back when everything was correct. remember that this is a new bike which should have been checked over!! was informed that it is a busy time in the workshop this time of year( read into that what you will!!!!!!!!!!)
Did you get the bike back today ? hopefully if you did before it started to piss down. Sorry to hear about all your problems, hopefully with a few miles on the bike and a big smile on your face it will all seem like a distant memory You got any bit on the bike yet or any plans ? Think I just caught my first glimpse of the castrol on your way up the dual carriage way into yeovil 12.30 ish sat.... LOOKS GREAT
just picked it up, took for a quick spin up link road , over to ilch & then back home! only thing done is tailtidy. plans are stomp grips, carbon hugger, bsb spec engine & mr rossi`s riding talent. i may be fibbing with the last 2! i will bide my time with modifications.
I need his talent too (think he has enough for us both tho) Really does look spot on, was going the other way in the car. I am glad it is all sorted out now. I am going to take off the rear footpegs sometime soon (a real pain to do by all accounts), then that is me done for a while (I have run out of money lol), but with the exhaust and Power commander fitted the bike is transformed, not that its bad in the first place ! I must admit i am a compulsive modder lol
Dream Machine have a terrible rep theses days and it seems its justified when you read stuff like this. Glad its sorted now mate, post some pics up for us
