... to put back on come selling time. I also want to do Oulton a few times this year and while no one intends to drop their bike I've seen enough bikes in the pits there with serious gravel rash to know that it is a possibility!

Well at least our bikes are different colours

The zx6r still has the stock master cylinder on it, as does the SX. Both bikes have had braided lines put on and both use the MRR Bendix pads. I did change the fluid reservoir on the SX but I'm not too keen on the rubber hose I've used and the lay out. The problem ...

Because I'm forever messing about with my bikes and cocking things up

Plus I'm not too happy with the set up on the SX so I might swap that around with the new hose and clips.

Cheers all. Yeah the pipes will be getting more attention than my past bikes, partly because sometimes I'm just too idle to strip the fairings off, I'd rather ride than faff about [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] Looking forward to some nice weather, I'll keep the ...

Great find. I don't get some people who buy these bikes but not to use them makes no sense to me! His lose your gain!!

... out for the track Hopefully with goodies on. But these seem to be on the expensive side. Or I've been looking at copart were they auction damaged bikes. Anyone used copart is it just online auction as I have seen is says live auction??? Also are there any more charges.

They must work and anyhing above 80/90 I bet there creating down force. There are far more dangerous things being put on bikes. Last year I saw a hayabusa every bolt was replaced with a sharp point as big as a finger nail this also included the bar ends which were massive sharp points. ...

ha ha ^

To be fair they all look like the bits sticking out on most road bikes already, what are they now, oh yeah indicators...

... guard on my (mainly) trackbike, and due to my occasionally "overly enthusiastic" riding it serves a purpose. But I see loads of road bikes with them these days, and even with matching ones on the clutch lever (still can't work that one out.?? ) they stop you from bashing your knuckles ...

You can buy them for cars so I suspect it won't be long for the bikes.

Exactly what I was thinking

I imagine a few carbon companies are already designing some for road bikes.

Ducati love them and Yamaha toyed with them last season and it now seems Honda have joined the party.

How long before we see these on road bikes

... though, I'm not sure I want to ride with you guys, it's going to look all, er, like a bit Gayer! Hold you think It makes any difference what bikes we turn up how gay we look. We chat on-line and meet up in random places in our leathers for ride outs and cake (you get picked on if you have ...

Lol. I like to think of it as investing your money! They fetch ok money second hand if/when you change bikes.

... of stupidity in having to cut the fairing to put something in place to protect it. However, street riders saw them and wanted them for their bikes for that racer look. That's when people started saying they protect your fairings. But the makers don't care about fairings, which is why the ...

... hard as the high tensile bolts don't shear but bend which puts force on the frame spar they bolt through. This makes sense as if you look at bsb bikes with crash bungs they are much shorter than the R&G offerings for road bikes. I assume this is because race teams know they are likely to ...
