The screen is a Honda OE item part no. 08R80-MFL-800

The indicators are from Wunderlich - Arrow LED's.....ok don't laugh.....it's actually indicators for a BMW K1200S and the same ones I use on my K. I like their quality and fit so much, I decided to use them on the '08 Blade (also used them on my '07

Now, the Rizoma's are sexier but they have a solid shaft. I have used them in the past but where they are so exposed like on the '08, they tend to brake very easy as they have no flex in the shaft at all.......just someone parked next to you can cause breakage by simply cliping it with a boot whilst mounting his/her own bike. ......therefore decided on the Wunderlich ones instead.

See pictures of them on the BM, the '07 Blade, the '08 Blade and the flexibility of the indicators

Hope this will be of help.

It is. 1973 numbers matching 350 4 speed 57000 original miles. Gonna start a complete frame off when I can get off of my ass.

Seat cowls are lovely aren't they. I'm just a bit surprised they didn't do a silver one for your colour scheme.

Bike looks wicked though mate.

Can't wait to get the tail tidy and the pegs off mine.

There is one in silver. I just thought it would look better in black.

I think it looks cool. I look forward to some daytime pictures where it will be easier to tell. Thanks!

dthiss...vette sounds great, I have the black and silver the black cowl looks great to but I'm going with the silver

a work in progress........it's tail tidy time.

Said before, and so have others, this bike is a b*t*h to work on.

Simply nothing is easy. As can be seen from the photos, the rear must be stripped completely to fit a new no. plate holder

BIG up to fellow forum member SodaO for keeping his promise and "hand delivered" my(his) R&G tail tidy alll the way from the UK.

ps. anyone removed the right front fairing yet?......well let's say, it's not just a case of unscrewing the bolts. As to the reason?.......all together different story.....a one.

[splatty]

About to attempt to fit mine mate.

Nervous and excited all at the same time

[MadnohB]

splatty my man.........I just finished with mine. Looks stunning btw

Nah, nothing to be nervous about, easy really........just start stripping until there is nothing more to stip, then put it all back together again (and hope there are no spares left)

nice pics madnob. The bike looks killer. It's got that only when new shine to it.

You really need a fender eliminator though. $25 for a black and deckers version of a dremel tool and $3-5 for a cutting disc. At the very least you could cut off the excess.

I agree with MadnohB. It does look like a hugh deal, but in the end it is not so bad. I think it took me about an hour to do, not like the 6 hours to remove the rear foot pegs.

[splatty]

I've just had a flick through the instructions, I am gonna go for it one night in the week and put a couple of hours aside.

No chance this weekend........too much family stuff to do.

I'm sure you're right guys, no problem once you get started. Just seems that Honda decided to design a bike that nothing was easy to do on but ride hard

[MadnohB]

see Hurt my baby for the sad story

[MadnohB]

Ok the R&G tail tidy is fitted and I'm pleased with the outcome.



also put the Honda fairing scuff protectors on

[SodaO]

Lookin' good

[MadnohB]

aaah the man himself..........

Ladies & gentleman allow me to introduce a very helpful man.....SodaO. If you ever wants something hand delivered......anywhere in the world, he is your man

Thanks again mate for being so generous in allowing me to take over your tail tidy and then even hand deliver it in South Africa.......biiiig up, you are a true biker friend.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm new to the site. I just saw this thread and wanted to commend you, dthiss, on your good taste! I also have a red '73. Luckily I was able to score a factory 454 car. Of course, I changed spark plugs on it yesterday and have to wonder if I am really so lucky or not. Those are some TIGHT spaces! I much prefer working on the bike!!! Of course, removing the passenger pegs a few days ago was no cake walk.
