My ride 1996 918cc blade

New can on it now so more pics to be posted.

Nice bike mate, would look much better with a Beowulf can on it!!!

lol its has one on now just needs polish and will get more pics of it and get it on here tomorrow ngt.

Looks good, I hate my yellow wheels, I thought about having dark wheels with yellow logo or text on the rim, which I think would look cool on yours

The grease and road muck soon make the yellow look grubby, like the the white on my car
I'm a gluton for punishment !

i know what your sayin the grease on yellow wheels stands out like sore thumb but clean clean and more clean sorts it, which is what i have planned for this avo, yeh would look good like the sound of that.

thats the same Blade as mine, im glad i dont have those yellow wheels tho cos they look like puke!...

I HATE cleaning wheels... mine need a respray anyway

all cleaned up now so more pics for you

And with the beowulf can on it to keep megawatt happy lol

Looks very nice mate, and I like the wheels.

Nice bike, quite like that colour scheme.

Thanks guys, i liked the colour coz it was a bit different from the norm, had heated grips put on it yeaterday i know heated grips on a blade you say, but my wife got me the advanced motorbike course for xmas and they ride all year round starting in a few weeks so there is no way was i goin out without them like i did the other monday within half hr numb hands started lol.

IAM advanced course?? if so they should not compromise over safety, as safety is what all advanced riding is about.
nice 'different' bike by the way.

Thanks sb they wont go out in silly cold weather but i tried these on my mates bike and even in april the numb finger thing can still happen, so for my own comfort and not thinkin my fingers wont move for the brake or clutch anymore i had these fitted, good bunch of guys even the book teaches you a lot that you know but never really put into practice when you start the bike up in my case sometimes When iwent out the other day sb it was on my own no iam about just got fed up kicking heels on sofa whilst on hols.

i got some handlebar muffs for my dr350 and them alone are quite good might be a good combination with heated grips

They're great for applying your front brake and clutch at 150mph too

The muffs are good so i have heard but on the box it does say be careful installing the mufs and grips together as it can overheat if they are accidentally left on it can be a fire hazard OUCH !!

The hardest part about an advanced course is sitting at the speed limit !!! TRY IT, I bet everyone on here breaks the speed limit at some point.
My advise to you is; learn to ride at the speed limit and observe EVERYTHING.
After you've passed the test, you can break every rule you want, if you want.

Nice one mate

That is true i wemt out for ob ride b4 xmas and thats the thing they pulled me at the end of so gotta try a lot harder.

Bike lookin well tasty now mate. What was your indicator question???

Will have a look at my mates and nip into local honda shop tomorrow the screen to fairing where the mirrors are bolted on is loose not sure why as it was tight when fitted screen, honda shop will have exploded diagram on parts so will see if anything gone a amiss somewhere.

i have the same problem with my blade, with the yellow wheels

Found out the cause it was missing the thin rubber spacers between the outer mirror base and the fairing easy fix cut some rubber matting and fit, all tight now.
