I'll take what I can get. I gotta keep my bike better looking than yours nowadays. But your exhaust takes the cake. Shit is tits.

Well the bodywork is at the painter... after I get the decals on there this thing's gonna be outta sight

But I'm pretty sure you're significantly faster than me so you can take that cake. We do ride very diff tracks though... I can't wait to get down to the new NJ one... shit looks fast.

nice, I am moderately pleased with vortex rearsets, I probably wouldn't get them again though.

Yeah... those plates with all the holes tapped in them for the adjustable peg mounting... I've seen those fold up like pancakes.

I'll just put little screws in there to make 'em stronger.

That's actually a pretty good idea. Grab some set screws (the kind with the allen head sunk in there) of the appropriate length and fill all the holes... that way you won't have anything protruding. It won't make up for the plate being too thin, but it will help.

I prefer something with a head so you can torque 'em in there. You can use a set screw, but you'd have to put loc-tite in there and I want to avoid that. Or, if they break, I can call Vortex and have them send me new ones. I know a few guys with Vortex and they haven't had problems.
