Hmmmm, you make a valid point. I had to pay big money to add those brand names to my bike...
Blade... I would imagine that GPR still makes one for your bike. They still make one for my '96 GSX-R750.
And if you knew someone, who was maybe a direct dealer for GPR, you could probably get one just under $400...![]()

But Chuck, you've actually got to go fast before those things can be of any use.![]()
Duct tape is like "The Force". It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
If I am not mistaken, Shindy is either the parent company of Nissin (brakes)and others or an exporter. Their products may be known by a different name.
Ive found you get what you pay for. I have one in my room now. Its a cheap damper and it shows. It has a ton of stiction so its difficult to ride in a straight line at low speed. Ive also see the other side of cheap. There wasnt enough adjustment to make it move slow enough. Id say stick with ohlins, scotts which is ohlins or gpr. Those seem to be the best. Id stay away from the pitbull. As far as I know the damper itself is good but the mounting system sucks. Some bikes you have to drill and tap holes in the triple to mount where as the other 3 I have yet to see a bike that just didnt bolt up.
If anything sell it private. Your blade is way to shinny to get screwed by a dealer. If insurance is a factor it shouldn't be any more for cc's over you 900, liter bikes are only 998cc
Also if your looking at a rr try to ride one first. They are nice and very easy to ride fast, but I didn't like the fit of the gas tank at all.
The 848 is nice to. But you would have to become a bigger asshole to own it.

DON'T trade it in! Take it from me. It's too old to be worth anything to a dealer, and... from what I hear, it's too clean to be just given away like that...
Here's a thought... Keep it. It doesn't cost anything to own, and it doesn't take up much space...
If you absolutely need the $2000 that it might bring, then you are not in a good position to be buying a brand new bike.
