    Yeah I called Bruce and mentioned the same thing. He said he made it a bit longer so that you could get a hook on it if needed. Time will tell, but nice job all the same.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    yeh Danger I had the idea of putting a little cable tie around the loop and through the little gap in the fork clamp and over the bolt to pull them up under the lower triple clamp. That would stop them flopping up and down on the forks but it makes the top loop quite big. They may need to be a little loose as a lot of guys mount their fire extinguisher there on top of the guard. But I think they are alittle to long at present.
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Thats what the guy did that made his own with tie downs that was in here the other week. I may do the same. Just put a zip tie around the fork above the clam and run the strap through it.
