They help a TON on the track, too. Once you start getting faster and faster, they're good to eliminate brake fade. What's brake fade? It's when you go into turn 1 hot after a few laps and you squeeze the brakes and your damn lever hits your clip-on and you're barely slowing down. Happened to a buddy of mine almost every time he went to the track. He finally got SS lines...fixed!

Awesome 09 there Dlit... I didn't see that one coming. I figured you'd hold onto the 06 for a while longer.

You could afford the system now if you didn't get assraped on the cost of the bike, sucker

I got away with a decent price for the Vegas market. System or not, all you'll see is the back of my bike.

We have a technical, elevation changing track out here, too. You would be way behind me all day...until I'm about to lap you. Then, I will feed you my shit. Then, you'll shit out the shit that I made you eat and make you eat it again.

Oh you silly nubs, we all know I'm the fastest at the track.

Because my bike is green.
