09 streetracer

Might as well do a thread on my new 09 blade rebuild, bought a Repsol 09 blade, turning it into a streetracer as in race body kit with all the extras.

Here's the 09 blade



First new bits, OZ piega wheels with B compound power 1's and Pro lite disc's

Have to say I'm interested to see what happens with this one.

More pics Please !!

Very nice Cabbie, have you run the B compound tyres on the road before, If so how did you find them? Im tring to decide what rear tyre to buy for this year.. Was thinking supercorsa..

I love the power 1's the B compound don't last long but f**k me you can take corners like a pro lol these are being discontinued now so go get some quick, I wanted the street compound but this was all they had :(

OK thanks Cabbie, will have a look what I can find sound interesting

Started the strip down

You'll find the space a lot tighter than your other re-builds, its without a doubt the most compacted blade with a view on track. So pull ye finger out.

The new zorst system has open's up the under side and swing arm, the race fairing without lights will open up the front and sides well too, the HRC subframe is tiny and most of the loom will get cut off, once finished it should be a nice easy bike to work on

Got the HRC kit subframe and faring front brace on





Nice Harris clip on's



And painted the black fork bottoms silver (f**king hate black lol)

Great job.

Looking good Cabbie!! That subframe is tiny isnt it.

More new bits going on the blade, still waiting for the swing arm :(

Looking good mate, glad u got your pc probs sorted good to see pics. Are you keeping the standard forks & yolks or going for ohlins & bling yolks?

was going to fit ohlins forks but got told the Honda originals are just as good with Ohlins internals, Ohlins do an upgrade kit, will get kit and billet yokes laters, already done 14k on this bike and still need more bits!

£14k fek I hope that includes buying the bike!... I know how you feel though, my project started as 17 inch front wheel conversion but got way out of hand, and I'm currently the wrong end of a €12k spend and I haven't got the bill for the engine rebuild and respray yet!

Top work by the way!

Yeah including the bike lol still need a few days at Bob Farnham's to get motor singing, that won't come cheap!

probably cos there's no Chimp around to distract him although it does mean that he has to make his own tea and goes hungry

Few bits being done

New shock arrived


Samco kit fitted


Started wiring mods and made bracket to turn rec 45deg so plugs are facing inwards


And engine covers are getting aqua blasted as I hate the black
