Good afternoon! I've just picked up my new girl, a 2016 Repsol Blade and thought it was about time to join some like minded folk. She lives in Lincoln, has 5k miles on her and is completely standard apart from the R&G protection sitting in a box, awaiting fitment.. How difficult is it to remove the fairings and both wheel spindles? See you around on here! Stu
Hi Stu, and welcome. Nice looker you have there. Sorry, but can't help with the fairing info. All I do is polish them!
Welcome Stu, never attempted fairing removal, it may be easier on later models but on the rr9 its a pain to do.
Welcome. Lovely bike. Fairings are a total pain in my experiance! So is the bike as a whole to work on. Soon forget about all that when riding though. Enjoy.
Thanks for the welcome all always had a soft spot for the blades since my late stepdad had one back in 04/05. Amazing bikes and a joy to ride, Macclesfield > Lincoln over the moors and back roads was a blast. Such an upgrade from an SV650S
Do we have many local to lincolnshire? Or any monthly meets at all? would be good to put names to faces!
Muffking & SimonRR are local to you as is @Barstewardsquad....but he's a bit like the scarlet pimpernel plus he's got a dodgy Suzuki Check out the Meetings and Ride outs section as we try & get ride outs planned & the lads post up meets etc
Welcome. As @Lozzy said I live in Lincolnshire, but don't believe everything she says, she used to say Respslow were fastest
