Hi Burbrew.
Just buy a 2000 blade. Honda threw in a 17" wheel for free. Would putting a 17" wheel in a bike designed for a 16" just slow the steering down by changing the trail ?
thanks.... but anyone riden a blade with a 16" front wheel?????? just so wrong its great at speed but for road riding its just pants(or i am.... not sure which) im sure there is someone that has done this mod and knows what they are talking about... for some reason where ever i go people say the usual routes ie cbr 600 vfr 800 wont fit on the rrw...... why???? they seem to fit on other models and is a great road mod... please help... this blade is trying to kill me..................
the fartblood used a slightly higher profile tyre on the front effectively making the front end a 17"
They didn't spend all that dosh on research for nowt!
Blades are slappy and twitch like buggery, I've ridden em all, its in their nature.... older Gsxr's used to slap worse! Its more to do with wheelbase/fork trail/headstock angle than the wheel. You can get an adjustable yoke set if you like spending money.
ps, I'm a test rider and I know these fings......or I say I do!
