The RSD Slants got some new beauty marks. Out for a ride with the gf today when had a bit of a scare. She was on her GSXR, and I was chasing her through a nice section of twisties. Was about halfway through a nice right hand twist, and then SCRAPE. I really didn't think I was that hard into it. Guess I was having to much fun. Ready for another round tomorrow.

 

Nice!

 

No such thing as too much fun, plus I think it gives it character.

 

Oh yea that's how you ride them have flat spots on both the exhaust and primary cover, Well on the one i have now, The other worn through allready. I made a set of wear pads that mount where the mid controls mount. There cheaper to replace.

 

now that does look like fun...

i was riding last weekend thinking that all the folks that scrape their pipes must ride harder than me and that my new bassani was gonna be fine, then i got off and noticed some black missing from the bottom and chuckled!

 

I normally ride it like I stole it, but I try to be a little conscientious of my turns. So I'm not scrapping up my new bike...yet. Totally lost track of that today. Was random and made my damn heart skip a beat. Then I was like hmm either it was peg or pipe. Sure enough pipe. Damn things aren't cheap, but you can't put a price on a bikes character.


Like I said, I normally ride it like I stole it. Bikes only a few months old so still trying to keep down the marks. Plus those pipe aren't cheap lol.

 

Thoses pipes are bloody low to start with.... Your
Gonna be scrapping the heck of them

 

Funny, I did the same yesterday for the first time!

 

I go through a couple sets of pegs year and have plated my thunderheaders multiple times from scraping through

 

The first time I scraped my pipes it startled the crap out of me...I got on it coming into a curve...now it happens pretty regularly. I have not scraped anything on the left side...except when I laid it down on a wet road once..
