    There has been a few things I've transferred over from my previous Blade as I think they're essential

    Lightech chain adjuster
    Captive spacers
    GB racing covers
    GiPro gear indicator
    Stainless steel brake pistons
    Gilles Titanium axel nut
    Rad Guard
    ASV levers
    PPF over lenses

    Currently fitting:
    Brembo RCS

    Still in box but deciding whether to fit or not:
    PCV
    Autotune
    POD 300
    LED lights

    Considering:
    PPF over nose
    Carbon tail guard
    Quick release Hel Lines
    Ktech fork internals - had these before proper night and day !!!

    I’ve enquired. I don’t even have a vehicle new enough to put the plate on :D and I don’t like the current style plates. I’ve totally lost control

    Always doing that, I've got one in mind for the blade, but I'm not telling in case someone else beats me to it. Already got one for the ZZR and Subaru, both are keepers, as for the blade I cant say whether I'll keep it or not at the moment so only reason I haven't purchased one.

    I could do a Nigel and put loads of pictures up of my bike with private plates and see if I can get a downvote an flounce off to ZZR world

    Ive had my plate on retention for a while (its normally on the car), its 5 digits and would look awesome on the blade, but have reservations as it is quite memorable, not good if I feel a bit naughty!

    That's is the downside.

    My aunt offered to buy me B1JRN for my 21st, it was £750 at the time. She wasn't well off or anything just very generous. I couldn't accept.
    Didn't realise at the time but would spell BURN, I do wonder what it is worth now....

    LOL, at the time I was a new graduate working for an agency of VWG and could chose almost any car in the VWG range except any VW, Audi or anything in the Seat Cupra range!, a Octavia VRS in bright yellow seemed the obvious choice, most of the Boyracers in the agency did exactly the same thing!

    It's just replacing the standard throttle tube with the HRC quick action one. There are a few other brand kits would can but too, think domino do one? The HRC one you can get away with just changing the tube which is about 25 quid from memory.

    I'll look into that.
    Seen a kit with cables for 85 and domino are even more so if you can get by with just tube think I will do that

    I only swapped the tube. I think I also bought the plastic housing but I'm sure in the end I didnt need it? Was a while ago though so will be worth researching :)

    It's one of cheap mods that makes a noticeable difference.

    I’m going to look into this as well. much the same as @mk3golfcab i’m blowing money on parts that “officially” thanks to bojo i can’t use:D nearly bought a domino throttle a week ago and was even offered free grips to seal the deal! If I can get away with tube (had 1 on my tzr long story) was it a dealer part @tuktuk?
