Blade & Bird

Is the blackbird a straight swap for the fireblade?

Would the frame mounts and the exhaust be the same on late 90's motors?

Cheers

Ash

I don't think so, I think its different.

Wait for someone more knowledgeable to come along first - but my gut feeling says its all different.

What would a good replacement for a blade be?

Scott,

thought you might have suggested an Aprilla, or have you sold it already,..?

It's still here Howard!

Sadly not a straight swap, I was thinking the exact same thing last year. Andy Bates (AB Performance) would probably best placed to tell you what (if anything) might be common to both installations

Apart from the new loom required my k4 gsxr1000 engine fitted In place of my carbed 919 blade lump. The manifold spacing is the same however a different prop adapter is required.
