R&G Exhaust protector for Yoshimura TRS

Having smashed up my last Yoshi as the result of my crash, I thought it was worth protecting this one.  I got this R&G protector off EBay from an outfit called "Demon Tweeks" in the UK.  Arrived promptly, fits well and looks good.  Hopefully I won't have to test it.

Suzuki GSF1250 Seat Cowl

Just scored this through the good folks at Leesons (www.leesonsmotors.com).  Part number is  990D0-17HSC-YHL.

Easy fit and it replaces the rear seat (it's not a cover over the existing one).

Exhaust hanger washer

Bling, but looks good.  The extension is so I can clear my Givi V35 hard bags as the Yoshi TRS sits a little higher than stock.  The washer is made by Metrick metal (www.metrickmetal.com).

Triboseat

I bought a Triboseat the other day.  First lesson - won't fit with the Suzuki Gel seat - only the factory seat.  Not too worried as I have both, so if I take my wife anywhere, she'll have the Triboseat under her.  Nicely made product and stops all of the passenger slide

GSG Moto Crash knobs

Here's the instal of my replacement GSG moto crash knob, which is made in Germany for the GSF1250 with the lower fairing.  (http://www.gsg-mototechnik.de/)  One side was trashed after my crash. but I guess the fact I am able to ride my bike again means it did its job.  A nice product and good service from them.


The knobs are joined by a thick pipe as well as frame mounted.


The crash knob has a push on cover that is replaceable




The plate was bent from the crash, but in bending, it absorbed impact forces that would have otherwise damaged the bike

Holeshot Fork Brace

Motorcycle News recently did an article on hotting up the the GSX1250FA (http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_1201_project_suzuki_gsx1250fa/viewall.html)

The parts to do it came from Dale Walker (www.holeshot.com) and I bought from him the fork brace that had been used on the test bike.  Easy to fit, just twist and lift the fork protectors, cut them up the back and remove, and fit the brace.

Much more planted and stable in the front end now.
