The next Project that I want to post on here is the fitting of the full GB Racing Protection Kit (as seen on ebay)including side sliders, and the Three Piece Clutch, Altinator and Pulse Covers as I think these will do the job better than Carbon Stick on covers. Open to discusion, what does everyone think, Carbon or GB Racing Covers http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Graham-Banks-R ... CTION.html
I have the GB Racing Engine Armour (both sides - removable), and GB Racing sliders close to font foot pegs (on pivot arm swivel mount) - if you need pics of them on the bike - they came with my bike so no experience of the decision making process!
Cheers JDB, I would like to see the kit fitted on a "real bike" so to speak, photo shoots always look too perfect for me. How do you find the swing arm protection? Never thought about them :roll:
im going for the gb racing covers, when ive saved the pennies that is. ..was also looking at the swing arm protectors but thought they may get in the way of my size 12's, is this the case or are they ok
I like the theory of crash protectors just a bit skeptical, I had crash protectors on my previous bike but has always wondered how well they actually work... has anyone had the miss-fortune of dropping a bike with protectors? How well does it prevent damage not just to the rider but the bike itself?
Oh that's it Craig start tempting fate......... I had the old Big Chrome Box Protection on my Suzi 350 Triple, worked a treadt when i dug the centre stand in the tarmac at 30 and did 2 360 spins on the deck, Bike fine, Leathers Trashed Boot felll off as the whole of the side had worn through. I was dizzy for half an hour Oh and my mate got a slap for Pi****g Himself
lol, I have always wondered what would happen if I slipped the stand down whilst moving; guess I know now! Impressive that the bike survived. That's a lesson not to be forgotten! So I guess the crash mushrooms do have positive impact.
I have mushrooms fitted just in case I drop the thing when it's not moving. I did it twice ( stopped on gravel and my foot slid out and hadn't put the side stand fully down but thought I had) with my Gixer and the mushrooms saved the fairing, levers and my ankle.
OK close ups - Spec of my bike is: Extras include: Datatool System 4 Alarm Powerbronze light tint double bubble screen Clear mini arrow indicators (not LED) Rear Seat Cowl Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3 tyres Triumph 'Off Road' end can and race map R&G Tail Tidy with smaller number plate Stomp Grips on the tank (not pictured - transparent) GBRacing Engine Armour GBRacing sliders close to font footpegs R&G Fork sliders, Frame sliders, & Swingarm sliders
Now that looks Smart JDB. Thanks for the close up pictures. Very Tidy Just a quick question the "GBRacing sliders close to font footpegs" are they on the GBRacing web site? & one more Why did you not go for the GBRacing Frame Protection. No Drilling needed? Just want to make the right choice Cheers Jap
Thanks To be honest they came with the bike! But they bolt through the centre of the pivot arm - very secure. If you then look down on the bike from above you can see that they will hold the bike clear of the ground on 2 points (with normal sliders in front) otherwise if the bike was on the side it would touch on the rear of the bike or the sides of the engine. Not sure if I have explained that well - can take a picture from above if it would help.
Sorry to be a pain JDB but can you take a close up of front and rear sliders and the screen, do's it have an edge on the screen or is it rolled like the original I've bought and sold a couple od double bubble Triumphs own because i do not like the rubber round the sharp edge Cheers Jap
No edge on screen. Not sure what you want of the sliders that you cant see on the ones shown above - but let me know and I will try and oblige.
