You will be after Cam B rides a Suzuki to the championship in 2019. Wanna put $25 to the Air Fence Fund on it? We'll figure out the inflation when it's time to pay up.
Testing Got a chance to race both bikes this weekend at RRR in multiple races and the new lever guards worked quite well. Didn't interfere with lever movement, bodywork, hand position, throttle, cornering, etc. And for the first time in almost three years (on the F3) I haven't had a throttle grip start to twist off during a race. Was really nice not having to concern myself with that during a race. Before all you yahoos chime in telling me I need to use better grips, hair spray, a good quality hair spray, wire tie the grips in a couple of places... that's what I've been doing. Heck, I don't know. It's just nice to have grips that stay in place and not have to worry about a brake lever getting bumped, possibly levers not getting broke in a crash :up:
I got tired of mine doing that and started putting Gorilla Glue on those bitches. When time to change them, I get a razor blade after them anyway. It just takes an extra few mins to get all the glued shit off. But I have never had a grip slip.
I should have specified it wasnt Gorilla Glue, the normal kind. It was actually Super Glue. The clear kind that always ends up on your fingers and has to be scraped off with a knife.
Randy, hit me up next time we are at the track together and i will give you some black duct tape. I have gloss black and matte black. :up:
Believe me, I have black tape for the wheel weights. Running two sprint bikes and rebuilding busted endurance bike and everything else going on... seriously haven't had time to pretty up the little things. And it drives me crazy!!! Been trying to get the two sprint bikes painted all year. When I sprint race them I feel like I'm wearing two different shoes, each covered in mud
I found using a thicker gauge safety wire helped more than the thin stuff. The normal gauge that I use on the bike would just slice the grips. HF had some thick gauge stuff, I used along with golf grip tape and golf grip solvent Those 3 and never had a grip slip or move at all. 4 yrs on the same grips, granted I only run 4-5 race weekends and 8-10 track days a year.
