Blade parts needed
Gav - 25/10/05 at 07:22 PM

Over the weekend i ordered an end can, starter motor, CDI and carbs from www.cheshiremotorcyclesalvage.com
They arrived today and im quite pleased with the condition they are in.
However the blade engine i have is completey bare so i still need clocks, coils, HT leads.
I was planning on building my own loom as the wiring in the haynes manual dosnt look too daungting.
I also still need the cable that plugs into the CDI box.
On the carbs 3 of the rubber mounts wre missing that you use to connect the carbs to the intakes, numerous other pipes are missing, i wasnt expecting it to be complete so ive sent a email asking the breaker if i can get hold of the missing bits.

So the question is, are their any other good online breakers? or are their any better places to get the right fuel hoses and or electrics?

Give Andy Bates at AB Performance (01284 703101) a bell, he pretty much only works with Fireblades so may well have some bits laying around that he could flog you.

BTW, Andy's not a bike breaker, he's in the tuning business but his prices are very good, he wont sting you for parts.

This may be of help with the wiring mate.

have you tried G&S motorcycle breakers in blackburn not online but local, I also used steve at thorncraft for spares when i used to have my bike he may have some spares knocking about.

G&S? ive not heard of them, ive been to the guy in darwen, powerbikes or something, but he wanted too much money for an engine when i was looking, might be more resonable for parts, ill take a trip down on saturday and have a chat.

I too would recommend giving Andy at AB Performance a call.
Also do a search on ebay under 'fireblade' and add it to your 'favourites' list.
Keep a daily check on new items listed as most of the parts you require will crop up from time to time.
