Riding without rear torque arm fitted?

Of course, considering that you had to actually ask if riding without a torque arm was advisable I should have taken it as a given that you were a mechanical numpty.

Yes and also I'm a tight b*$#&rd with my wallet.

How much do GSXR / 'Busa torque arms go for? And how much less do they weigh? It's not a race bike so I'm not overly bothered about shedding a few ounces tbh.

I could sell you one for a gazillion squids, but they're on ebay for about a tenner or so. Feels about half the weight in the hand.

Just bought one after reading this, £2.20 plus £2.70 postage, will let you know how I get on. One here for £10.99 posted http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Yes, just like that one. Busa rear calipers are supposed to be lighter too.

Yeah late models to use that caliper are same but use ally pistons.
