Buy some proper rearsets, or at the very least some of them raiser plates for the stock ones!! ... you will soon get your moneys worth in replacement boot cost!!

they're not bad - they'll gain you an inch up & an inch or so back. take the "hero blob" bolts out of your footpegs too, or replace them with something a bit more low-profile

awesome day out, can't wait to get on another track!

think I picked half of my tyre off in the car park :

i think the main problem was the "penguin foot technic" i adopted,

flippin ell! now i can appreciate just how important good tyres are for all the big races, no wonder they spend thousands on em
