Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I don't like cf swing arm covers.

I fitted venture shield to the blade swingarm to stop marks from my boot rubbing but once the damage is there its obviously too late.

The paint does look easy to mark. I would if I could touch it up.

Thanks for the feedback guys

He accepted my cheeky offer so I have played hard ball and made a very naughty offer as he agreed to easily. let's hope my luck is in.

If you don't ask you don't get.

Nice one mate

Happy days. Nice looking bike

I can't wait for your first report.

Nice one can not wait to see this on full chat this year.

Sweet!

Did you p/ex the Blade, Blade?

Is right! That is one good looking bike. I reckon you'll be very happy together

Yes the Blade has gone.

I still don't actually feel like its happened yet, especially after the last deal fell through at the eleventh hour so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here onwards.

I guess they are delivering and picking up your bike in the process.

This is the best time of year to buy a new bike. Shortest window in which to do it but between now and about 3rd week of January is when dealers look at their bank accounts and realise they need to sell something quick to pay the January wages.

Is it the one with the Akra can?

Yes has an Akrapovic end can, Tinted Zero Gravity Screen, Evotech Crash Protectors, Swingarm Protectors, Fork Protectors, Tail Tidy and Radiator Guard which are all mods I would have gone for anyway.

Got to start my bling shopping list now

Stick a quick shifter on it and head for the hills!

Oh yeah thats definietly happening

I know you would anyway but do a bit of research on which quickshifter you get. I'm sure I remember a fer horror stories about the zx10 gearbox not liking certain ones.

Mike 'Spike' Edwards uses the HM plus SS - Seamle…: http://youtu.be/aWVDpByrbTo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
HM seems highly rated.

Looking forward to seeing more pics, reading a review or 2 and hopefully seeing it at a meet. When do you pick her up?

Don't go upsetting and worrying me before I even have the bike

I believe HM are the best.

Being serious what have you heard with the 10R and quickshifters ?

Just vaguely remember reading on TDR or motoforum that a few people really didn't get on with certain makes but can't remember details. Just having a look now...
