Guys you can post and view over 90 pages of our customers feed back on our web site here.

We are really proud of the feed back we receive and it gives me immense satisfaction to be running a business where we have such great customers. The brotherhood of motorcyclists is an amazing thing and bkers are the most amazing group of customers you could ever want to work for.

One of my favourite pieces of feed back was from many of our overseas customers (People purchase form our web site from just about every country in the world).

"Last night when I got off work, the carriers were waiting for me on the doorstep.

Wow! They look and feel great. quality product. I can hardly wait until I have the time to fit them.

Thank you!" .....I managed to set aside the time to replace the rotor carriers on my 900SS:

I will start off by saying that these carriers are of great quality. I think they are actually nicer than the Brembos that were on the bike.

The 900ss that I picked up last month, has been ridden quite a bit, it sat, and of course its 18yrs old... these new carriers are so nice, that I started to feel like they were too nice for my bike, but that only lasted about a micro second, as I started realizing exactly how worn my old carriers were.

A nice surprise came when I decided, to flush the brake fluid, and may as well, clean up the calipers as best as I could without actually removing them and rebuilding. so the job was all done this evening, I took the bike out, and WOW! I was amazed to actually have modulation in the front brake, and best off all... no more shuddering/vibration under hard braking.

WHAT HAPPENS:
These are floating rotors. the interface between the rotor carrier (gold) and the "buttons" (the black round pieces), wallows out. The original carriers are made out of softer aluminum than the buttons. over the years, the braking force starts to open up that interface. Symptom: vibration during hard braking. While I have yet to read of an incident due to rotor carrier failure, I decided that A: this was a very unique opportunity to get a custom limited run on these carriers. Originals are which is just about impossible to find, B: Hopefully bring the bike a bit closer to its performance potential, C: SAFETY, D: Learning experience, and E: better understanding of the bike. Super stoked! Liam Venter did an outstanding job on these carriers I'm a kid again, when I wrench on a motor bike. a good read is "Shop Class as Soul Craft" http://matthewbcrawford.com/index.html Explicit and tacit knowledge Read, study, hands on/actually hold the parts/study them/measure them/get to know what it is, wrench, and ride.

In this case, I am amazed, that someone like Liam loves these bikes to such an extent that he'd garner interest in covering the cost to do a batch, engineer the product, source the materials, make the product better (by using a harder aluminum) seek out a higher quality anodizing process, build prototypes, then actually start production run, deal with paperwork, politics, establish a retail outlet, and finally sell the product.

Again.. thanks to Liam for the great product!

Many thanks Devian, Liam.

Hi,

How good are these? http://www.fastbikegear.co.nz/index....oducts_id=1265
I have a box helmet and I can't be bothered taking around a tinted and clear visor and this seems like the perfect solution, but seems too good to be true for the price.
Can you give me your honest opinion? Am I better off getting a tinted visor instead?

I can give you an honest opinion ( I have one fitted to my helmet) but you are probably better to read our customer reviews on this product here

At $39 we don't think the price is silly cheap, just reasonable

Thanks
Liam

If you have a helmet without an internal or tinted visor these are excellent as they kill the change of light or sunstrike glare that catches you out. If you have a tinted visor these would help with anti fog. Actually they are great anti fog you just have to be sure where you fit them but that's easy.
I've had two already and will be getting another for my new helmet.

As for the shop owner (Liam) he's a bloody good bloke, nothings a bother, will help you with any problem. I went to him for some wiring options on my stebel horn (didn't even buy it from him) he not only sorted that out but ended up setting up my front suspension. Where do you get that sort of service. Brilliant.
