I see you still have a decent sidestand to source....

Me? Nooo, it's the Fireblade stand :) The drive is a bit (lot) wonky where I took the pic.

Top crash bungs have arrived, just waiting for the rad guards (from this chap - https://www.facebook.com/RacingRadiatorGuards/ ) and then it's off to the local garage for some fitting fun

Aaah "
Should have gone to Specsavers...
Sure the foot of that stand looked horribly like standard.
Please feel free to beat me around the head with your redundant stock sidestand should we ever meet up at a social

Ok, made a couple of longish trips (150 mile round trips) in last couple of days and they made a huge difference! Fingers remained attached, still usable and everything :) No additional vibration, no control issues, even filtering through central London.

They are on my official recommendation list

Had these on for few years now and they keep the worst of the wind and rain from me pinkies.

I actually fitted a pair to mine on Wednesday - went from needing the heated grips on for my morning commute to not needing them on. They make a huge difference! Also i agree, no negative handling side effects either, which is good!

Surprising how much difference they make in cutting out the wind chill factor. Your turn for the pics now :)

Think you might fancy going into business, seeing the cost of these?

Do you mean the deflectors? If so they are truly ugly as well a friend had them fitted on his vfr when he bought it, they lasted 1 week as he removed them.

Should have got a patent

Any way think mine look better and have been in place about 4 years now
