I've had my Blade for 6 months but it's been a bit of a sleeping beauty through winter. So I thought, with Christmas out of the way, why not give her a bit of a makeover as a treat (for me and the bike). This is the sprucing up thread!   I've done a little work to it already so I'll hopefully be adding something else to look at tonight. |

I'd love a 954... Obviously, it would have to be red over black.

You lads are gonna love this when its done Martini, baby! Yeaaaahhhh! Mega looking forward to seeing it. I'd love a 954... Obviously, it would have to be red over black. This one was red, Lee, but it was changed prior to Adam's ownership. Now he's doing something mega sexy, IMO. I won't say any more 'cause it's his thread, and I don't wanna ruin the surprise. I do enjoy a good bike transformation thread. Should go through what's already been done on the bike from standard, so we've got a starting point? |

Basically to start with it was all standard apart from the steering damper(?).

Why do you think I've not given any details away? Unlike you with your martini spoiler. I could well have been referring to a particularly imaginative and inspiring drinking session on the stuff that spurred on the ideas!  |

Calm down, calm down.
Sorry for the late reply guys, been busy with the missus over the weekend. But I did have time for the garage last night. I bought some heel plates from good ol' eBay but one of the buggers doesn't fit as it should (picture to follow).
I also managed to fit up and test the R&G heated grips, it's just a shame the girl is in bits or I'd have loved to do a road test. It's wired in to the ignition because I can see myself stranded in the sticks after leaving them on

I've been in touch with the seller and it turns out they wrote the name of the listing wrong. If I send the plates back they're going to send me the right ones.
I've been at the garage again tonight working on fitting some LED indicators. What a fcuk about they've been by the way, the timings were all over the place at one point. Current fairings are completely off and the new set should be here hopefully next week sometime
