Re: Motogp-stylee front brake lever guard

I'm going to track some down for the trackie. I need all the protection/help I can get.

It looks good on the ZX6 Kwacky and it's functional, the fact you might never have the need for it on the road is moot, cause you just might.

Re: Motogp-stylee front brake lever guard

cant see the point of them for road use apart from bling, in a racing/track day context i can vouch for them, ive had too many near misses for me to justify fitting one, and can name people ive raced with that wouldnt of crashed if they had of had one fitted, the most recent being last weekend.

Sorry Duke personally I think they look stupid on road bikes and just don't see the point.

The road has a reputation for accidents already Rossgo but never good to see a biker down anywhere.

Re: Want!

Iirc Ducati have used adjustable rake on both their race bikes and some of the road homologation "R" models, so it's not a new idea to vary the rake in that way afaik. I can't see how it would vary the rake if the bars were turned, but you'd only have ...

Re: Want!

The 899 has different geometry which the 1299 now shares Andy and this has made it a better road bike compared with the lively 1199. No idea how bearings could change the rake. You would need different yokes or an eccentric adjuster I would have thought. Not saying it's ...

So many roads to enjoy... One of my personal favourites was I think between Machynlleth and Dolgellau, section that cut through the mountain and you could see right to the other side... That put a big smile on my face! :-) I ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Got it a rear tyre, eBay's not all bad.

25 notes for a used set of m7's in the correct profiles. Hopefully get the rear fitted soon and get back out on the road before the season ends properly..

Re: Opinions please on all bikers most favourite topic

Recon it depends on what you are going to do on them. Fast road and track I wouldn't even consider it, but if you're just going to nimble about on them then I can't see it being an issue.

However personally I wouldn't do it as it would be on my mind everytime I rode the bike
