I was the only non-sport bike on the track and a minor celebrity because of it.
Hey, that's a gorgeous Sporty you got there, kinda reminds me of...

Still have trouble leaning the bike very far, getting better, but man, if I could somehow convince my brain the bike wont fall over, that would help a lot!

I stopped leaning more when my pegs scraped - I figured that was enough for me. I should have put my OEM pegs on for the track, though, my Kuryakyn's took a beating:

Got my bike back, all fixed up under extended service plan. $50. Clutch spring plate had fallen apart. Just like I thought.

She rides happy again.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't have scratches on their pegs.

Replaced stock front caliper with HD chrome.


Will be replacing my right fork slider with a new chrome slider. Left side already done as shown in pic.
