I had just put on frame pucks and some skateboard wheel sliders to prepare for an upcoming track school and unfortunately I got to try them out all too soon. I locked up the front trying to avoid rear ending a car that had slammed on its brakes...The worst part is I could have stopped had I not been following too close and not been looking at the scenery. Had all my gear on so I wasn't hurt and everything that broke was easily replaceable. It just reminded me that you've got to be alert all the f*&%'n time!...got lucky again! | ||

Good to hear you weren't. I locked my front wheel on some wet pavement and went over. Thank god for the pucks they saved me alot of money, broke the damn footpeg though they seem cheap. | ||

Saw A Blue 9R in North Carolina that looked as if someone did the same thing. Glad you are ok. | ||

The footpegs are crappy, i highly recommend changing them out, the buell traction pegs are billet...i like them, they're tough! | ||

I think those foot pegs are designed to break away, but I have no proof of that. | ||

I agree, cochise. I snapped one off on a tipover incident....doh! | ||

Just ordered the sliders front and rear, and the LSL S type pegs plus some grips. Hope to have them wednesday. The bike goes in on wednesday for rubber and 2500 service. When I get it out I will install new parts. Gonna try the Scorpion Syncs like they had on the city x I test rode. Also going to try the factory adjustments for the shocks. Race settings on the shocks ate my tires bad, not that I was cornering too hard. |
