I'm starting to think if honda not got new ideas on a new blade.

Maybe they need to call CABBIE

The seat and tank cover arrived from UK Road & Race so I will be off to painters tomorrow afternoon.



The quality of the seat and tank cover is crap! but I have booked the painters time now so have to use the items :(
I guess quality control was at lunch when my bit were made

The seat to tank fit is just pathetic! I

New riser clip on's from LSL

And I know I'm going to get well slaged off for this but I don't have the money for the Brembo's so I got the standard calipers aqua blasted and put some stickers on, I will get Brembos in a couple of months promise

Looking great cabbie, that fit is terrible!! What were they thinking... No complains from me on the brembo's I did exactly the same with mine! Just substitute aqua blast with powder coat

what are you doing paint wise? May I suggest black? haha

Looks good so far... awful isn't it when you are against a wall and you have to use some such shit you've been sent and you have no choice. Doesn't take much for companies to actually produce something worth the money they charge...
I'd send them a message saying how shit they are and that you had no choice... won't make a blind bit of difference but it will at least piss on their parade whilst they read it...
I am sure you will make it look awesome though dude!!!

The seat and subframe will be in the bin very soon, going to fit my beloved RS 125 seat

you just can't beat the look of that sexy waspish tail unit, that's why I didn't want any other

Just ordered this RS250 AOYAMA race seat for the blade, will need a new subframe made etc but can't look at that butt ugly Honda seat unit any more!

that will look the dogs dangles on there, cant wait to see the pics

The RSW 250 seat arrived and with in 30 mins of cutting and sanding it's a spot on fit, new box type subframe will get made next week, looks a bit CRT ish

Looks good.

much better than the other!

Looks Good !

has have to say looks great, does have a touch of the CRT about it imo. Very cool, also looks a bit like the M1 tail just add some 46 stickers and your away

Started the new subframe mock up

Seat is too high due to the jack up kit fitted, this will be removed and the standard plate replaced, seat is 1.5" too high as is, the subframe will be fully boxed up to give super clean look.

More work on the new subframe.
Alloy plate shaping

Side plates cut out (4mm)

Seat supports made

Adding new mounting holes for the front

Ready for welding tomorrow

Looks really good there Cabbie, coming along a treat

You make it look so easy Cabbie... That rear is going to look really sweet cant wait to see it on there. Will have to hold off my visit to you until thats all painted and fitted as would love to see it

cabbie wrote:LOL ok you can come

Only because I fetch the food!!

Made the tank brackets

Fitted


Finished trimming the seat, taking it to painter tomorrow so he can get the painting under way

Ride height is still 1/2" too high so need to adjust that, I'll finish boxing up the subframe tomorrow and fit the battery box etc

That looks like it was supposed to come from the factory like that really like it!! Think thats going to look very racy when its all together, you need a race rep paint scheme, what you having done any sneak hints?
