Here are some photos.

bash plate

grips

Oh and also, I only noticed this today and when I saw it, I literally crapped my pants.
theres a large dent in the bottom of my exhaust and I thought surely I havnt done it already, maybe its produced like that.
so I did a bit of surfing around on other photos but couldnt really confirm it.
can you guys help me out here?

 

[sean01]

bike looks awesome man

the dent is there to clear your rear brake caliper for when you bottom out the shock..

 

[MitchAustralia]

thanks so much man
im surprised I hadnt noticed it before

off topic, but today I was trying to herd my cow into another paddock and he just stopped and kicked its back foot into my front mud guard :O
no damage but I was pretty pissed, haha

 

[sean01]

hahahah, did ya roost him good after wards man..

 

[MitchAustralia]

sure did
yeah I do that all the time cause he sits in a corner and when im pulling out of the corner I just crank the throttle and he gets a faceful
hahah

might want to get yourself a bar pad...

other than that, the bike looks pretty sick, you getting a sticker kit and stuff for it?

 

[MitchAustralia]

yeah bars were the next thing.
can you get pads at most mx stores?

probably wont gets sticker/plastic kits just yet cause I still need to save up money to pay dad back for it.
after I have payed for my car I will definately look into getting some sick graphics though

 

[TyD]

yeah, pro taper have their standard 'pro taper' bar pads in blue, red and black. You can also get Metal Mulisha, yamaha, honda and others... All for around 20bucks.

[MitchAustralia]

revisiting the body armor...
im tossing up between buying the Fox Airframe, or the Fox R3
the R3 is cheaper but maybe looks a bit uncomfortable.
you guys ever had either one.. or your general opinion.
I would try them on in store but I have a feeling they wouldnt stock these.. worth a try though.
check them out on their website and tell me what you think:

Fox Head | 2010

or there online shop:

Fox Racing Inc

Cheers

 

[TyD]

Go to a shop and try some on!!!! :damnmate:

 

[MitchAustralia]

I would try them on in store

Did I not say that? :damnmate:
if what your gonna say isnt gonna help me, dont say it...
I was hoping if someone owned one of these 2 and see if they would suggest it for me.

 

[TyD]

Mate, I was just skimming through... You seem to ask a lot of questions.. Soon it will be what toilet paper to use...

Just go out and touch and feel, try things on.. Then you will have your OWN opinions.. :alc:

 

[nemo86]

ive got the airframe...its ok, really light but it doesnt feel like its gonna protect ya much apart from gettin roosted and maybe savin a tear or two in ya jersey... personally i'd go with something like this...Alpinestars Bionic 2 Protection Jacket - Bikebiz - New & Used Motorcycles, Motorcycle Parts & Motorbike Accessories

not that exact one coz thats expensive but my mate got a real nice 661 one like that for $40 less then wat i paid for my airframe and i would of much rathered his one

just my two cents

 

[MitchAustralia]

cheers nemo86.
so you reckon go the jacket way?

and TyD, I have been riding for one year. I havnt owned much gear etc...
just cause you probably have decades of experience, doesnt mean everyone does.
I just want ideas of what im looking at before I go wandering around it stores not having a clue what im there for.

 

[nemo86]

yehh i reckon its the way to go...feel much more protected and also keeps ya warmer on cold days

 

[MitchAustralia]

yeah alright, other ideas of brands?
I have looked at fox, shift, thor, alpinestar....
they all seem to be at the $150 mark and I was hoping to spend under 100, if not a smidge over.

 

[nemo86]

well from memory i think i paid 200 for my airframe...so 150 for one of the other ones is pretty good

 

[MitchAustralia]

yeah sorry I was talking if I was to buy online from US
everything is so much cheaper doing it that way, not that I do..
