RICH22 what rear fender/ tail tidy have you fitted to your blade?? also what rear sets are you using?? Your bike looks wicked

I have installed a unit from Rizoma in carbon fiber. Here is an image without the plate support:

I heard this too...

Can anyone with a full Akra system confirm whether you can change the oil filter with the Akra full system in place?

Racefit are in the process of developing a 'Growler' for the Fireblade. Prices look like £500 for titanium or carbon fibre. My mate has one on his ZX-10R and the quality is superb and the noise... well it's loud!

Here is a pic of my 08 with gp pro & bazzaz zfi & z-bomb

Looks good, was thinking of doing the same.

Which heat shield is that you put on with the GP Pro ?

Cheers

My 09 with the Taylormade pipe....

DrakoNoble · 07-31-2009, 11:26 PM

n20capri , the heat sheild is the leo carbon piece , it came with the pipe it cost extra. i think the price was $129.00 . the fit is excellant but a bugger to fit . i was told it will work with any of the leo pipes , it mounts to the s link pipe.

taylormade should have supplied you with an O2 eliminator if not contact them, very helpful bunch

how are you finding the silencer cause I've read mixed feedback about them.
did you just replace the silencer or have any other mod done?
thanks

alfy vr · 08-03-2009, 9:04 AM

I bought the exhaust from an american company so not too sure if i got the eliminator. There was a small metal sleeve in the pack and a long bolt i've not used are they for anything? The instructions arent the greatest

When I made contact with them last march, they had a uk distributor.
You can get his details from taylormade website (tel 01473 400691)

alfy vr · 08-03-2009, 3:54 PM

Just had an email back from Paul Taylor at taylormade he said there was a plug in the kit to replace the lambda sensor, is that the small metal plug that was in the bag with the kit?

Don't want to hazard a guess as I've never seen the product in real life.
Your best bet is their uk distrib or maybe another member who's done it before

rogerbarratt · 08-04-2009, 5:03 PM

the Taylormade does look good - can you buy them from a UK company? and can you fit without other mods such as needing a Power Commander or a re-map?

alfy vr · 08-04-2009, 6:24 PM

Mine is running fine without a power commander. If you go on to the taylormade site they give you the contact details of the two UK suppliers

It's a shame Racefit haven't made a Growler to fit the new Blades (the Mega does). I love the Growler exhaust.

Sold!

(As long as it doesn't have any detrimental effects on the engine or power).

splatty · 08-13-2009, 11:55 AM

A mate has just fitted one to his Gixxer1000 K9.

Fook me it's loud. I know, I've followed him.

Another thing, a K9 with exhaust, de-cat, PCV and limiter removed doesn't hang about at all

rogerbarratt · 08-27-2009, 6:15 PM

Ugly Exhaust problem

Has anyone used or seen these carbon covers?

cbr1000 2008 2009 r8 rr9 cbr1000rr carbon can cover cbr on eBay (end time 31-Aug-09 16:24:15 BST)

ok so I know it's just a cover but they look trick in the picture and after all the Blade is quick enough for most mortals already and I just want something that looks good and is easier to keep clean

DeadFred · 09-02-2009, 2:07 AM

edit... irrelevent.

mjpartyboy · 09-02-2009, 4:04 PM

I did a trackday at Silverstone on Monday and saw an 08/09 Blade with the Taylormade Racing exhaust on and thought it looked really smart and very tidy. It looked smaller than I expected after seeing pictures of it.

I like the sound of the Hotbodies Racing MGP Growler:

Looks great!

But, why isn´t there a "Dream" sticker? Did you remove it?

I had them leave it off when they made the set, all the stickers are under the clear coat.Thanks for the comment!

Ralf · 09-10-2009, 2:04 PM

Ah, OK. Thank´s 4 the information. If I will take the HRC design I also want to leave this off.
