Re: Blade fighter
Cheers Guys
The Risers should've come with the top yoke. It's all from Streetfighterstore.co.uk.
The Risers were on back order from Moto CSC? in Germany?
SFS are getting deliveries in dribs and drabs apparently.
They should be sending me some Fat Bars, they were the cheapest I could find!
Love your Carbon Bars Griz but you'd said they were expensive so I didn't want to get my hopes up !
The Grider issue is a bummer. Hand sawing an filling is doin me in.
Back to it tomorrow.
The blade is at my father-in-law's so I'm going with all me goodies
and aint comin home til I've got the front end done!
Fingers crossed

Re: Blade fighter
Yeah? LOL
I had to wait, with my CB, on th Hard Shoulder of the M6 for me Baffle to cool
so I could pick it out of me zorts ( it was hanging out).
I was on my way to get some new tyres so we (me n the wife to be) took it with us,
I went in the local hardware shop for some screws n screwed it
back in whilst the guys change the tyres.
Does anyone do that sort of thing nowadays?

Body parts everywhere. Its a real Hatchet Job!

Re: Blade fighter
Not too happy with the length of the HEL brake lines.
I guessed at it coz I was fed up waitin for the bars n risers. Impatience!
The fairing aint goin there either.
Spent a lot of time tonight playing cut n paste.
Decided it doesn't look tuff enuf!
I'll getit right soon.

Re: Blade fighter
Do you think the fairing might be better tilted back a bit as the headlights look as though they are looking at the floor, lacking in confidence?
As a fighter might it also look better if it lost both the mirror mount sections and the touring DB screen?
But don't cut it down following my suggestions and then blame me after!
Are you using fairing lowers as well Fringe?

Thanx for the input, It makes me think twice/cut once
I'm hoping the nose down makes it seem like it's lookin at ya n scowling!
yep, i'm not too sure about the screen either but that can change later.
the lights are either goin to be remounted to correct the droop or I'll be fitting projector beams in their place. £££?
The mirrors I wanna keep, I wanna make 'em look like HORNS
just a belly pan to be added. The only one I like is a German one an its £££'s. N that;ll depend on how I route the Zorst!
But this mite all change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For an old fasioned GPZ Bikini!!!!!! or 1 o them cool Skulls

Keep it up mate, you'll get there!

That's an interesting idea horns, rather like the sound of that; especially if from a car drivers rear view they they appeared like long horns being grasped by the rider.
