Those are really cool.

On a sidenote: in reference to the first picture, will Blackhawk Farms let bikes run without oil-catch pans? Doesn't look like your son's bike has one..

Great picture (of son and u). Doesn't give much feeling of speed but it looks fun!

most trackdays let you run without catch pans. only races require that sort of thing, generally.

D-Day, that is AWESOME!

I have never done a track day that required catch pans, and in fact, most don't require the bikes to be safety wired, but I wire mine as per race rules anyway.

This should give you a better sense of speed on the GS.  It is my son following me.

I could have watched that video for ever. So cool your son and you can share that together. Makes me wonder why I ride on the street lol. I'm going to have to get to a track day and really see what this is all about.

:cheers:

Real good.  The only place I ever drag it is at Grattan.  It should have a drain plug  when riding in the rain, man it fills fast.

Someday I might even put the upper on.  I had trouble fitting it and never finished putting it on.  Maybe this winter.

Thanks. Looks I need to modify it a little.
