I know this is an SV site.... I KNOW this!!!
But being fellow bikers you must understand where I am coming from...
It was full of crap and after putting a few hundred miles on in the past week it just REALLY needed cleaning. So I did.
And then I fell in love with it again..

Are you serious ?
The Blundercat is a great bike, especially for the money. More of a midleweight sports tourer by todays standards but they handle well and are pretty quick... And oh so comfy.

it was the comfy thing i was referring to! :D
Daryl B has one. It's a beautiful bike. He has yet to get the hint that I would like to ride it...
I like the anodised levers on yours, Stretchie, they go well.

Well..
I never thought of one these when I was looking for what bike to buy I saw a picture of one and thought it was ugly, I actually wanted a CBR 600, black and silver, but my manager had this one going. I'd already bought my leathers and other kit which all ended up being blue because I had to buy a peice a month cos I was skint.
I turned up at my boss' house, took one look and thought, "Hmm, quite nice in flesh".
He let me take it for a 30min test drive, so when I came back 2 HOURS later I was well taken with it.
Funnily enough, I don't really like the levers that much but saying that I've not replaced them yet so they must be alright.
And they are lovely to ride, my mate has an R6 and at the lights I can tell you it is the first on the gas that gets it. END OF!! I don't care what magazines say, how often will "1.65 seconds a lap quicker over our private track" actually make a difference. I am not Rossi :roll: ... YET :twisted:

Pretty quick?? Mine could keep up with a GSXR600 when i had one! So much more comfy too. In fact, i was after and when i came across my gixer. The cost and look of the gixer swayed me though.
Top bike had one for two years and did 30,000 on it
always found the fairing to be a bit brittle, and the headlight is a joke.
but as quick as i have ever been was on the cat and it was very reliable.

Daryl, you still haven't read the thread!!!
I know you are only joking ed, there is no way you would really like to ride mine after your hairnet, and i promised your other half not to let you on it in case you actually liked it and wanted one. :D
DARYL.

You're right of course, a hairnet is an altogether superior beast, and as for that ugly can on yours, well I think they take them FOC out of sympathy up the recycling centre :lol:
Ouch, how cruel, this is not the way to get a ride on such a bike, if i let you av a go you must first get on your knees in front of it at the rideout, in full view of everyone and apologise for your statementas to the ugliness of the can, which hopefully will be sitting in the garage by then. :lol:
Daryl.

I was bored and also quite drunk the other night SOOO I have taken it apart and took the undertray out. Last night on the way home from work I went to Halford and Focus to buy some sand paper junior hacksaw blades and spray cans of primer, colour and laquer.
If you look at the side on picture you can see the big plastic bit where my plate is.... Well it's not there anymore, I hacked it off smoothed (half r'sed job) it over with two rough then fine sandpaper.
Then a couple of layers or primer were added, then a layer of colour, then left for a while did the second layer of colour and yep you guessed it....
WRONG BLOODY COLOUR
Wrong colour by miles... Back to Halfords tonight for another can. I hope this is worth it because I don't have £250 for a new undertray :cry:
I found that I got a neater finish when I cut my undertray doing the final cut with a stanley knife, you might go through a couple of blades but you don't get any of those burred edges.
Hope you can salvage the undertray though mate. If you can't colour match it, play it safe and go black you should get away with it.

Cheers mate, I THINK it's going to look good, I'll hopefully have it put together agin tonight if I pull a late one.
I know what you mean about the stanley knife but I used a junior hacksaw blade myself and then sanded it down.
Don't get me wrong, this wa not done to perfection, it is a majorly rushed job but I can refine it and do it properly in a couple weeks. I just got bored and drunk the other then my bike was apart in the garage... Oooops, so I've banged through it. I'llpost the pics and see what you all think
