Where to start???
Maybe here http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?11172-Nicks-Blade&highlight=Nick76
Nick done an awesome job with this bike doing most of the hard work so I decided to leave it mostly as he left it.
Since taking ownership I haven't done a great deal. I had dramas with the wiring and placement of some components that the original owner had moved. It was a real headache but got it sorted and it's now reliable enough to ride all day everyday.
I had a few hiccups with the jetting also which I have fixed by putting a baffle infront of the airbox. These bikes weren't fed with a ram air setup and since there's no fairings and the snorkels were missing from the air box any speed above 100km/h would screw the jetting right up and it wouldn't run right.
I've also changed the exhaust a few times as well. I think Nick's design looked the best however it was plague with a rattle I couldn't fix so I was forced to remove it. It may make a return in the future if I can fix it but for now I'm running a Dan moto carbon can that sounds really good and the bike is running excellent so I'll leave it for now.
I've just finished painting the bike. I stumbled upon this paint called plasti dip. Wicked concept. The paint is actually rubber and when it sets you can peel it off like a vinyl wrap. I wasn't too sure about painting over the airbrushing so thought this would be the ideal way to change the colour.
Anyway that's where I'm at basically. I keep tinkering but mostly ride it.
I've got a hankering for boost so I'm looking into that.
I'll keep youse posted.
