OK so after i crashed at Calabogie Motorsports Park on August 1st, ive decided to do the conversion to a track bike. The Crash bent the left handlebar, broke off the tail piece and rearset. So i bought a new handlebar and put the stock peg back on to finish the day.

I just took my Insurance off the bike because ive discovered that the road is super dangerous and boring now that ive been doing trackdays.

Just ordered Full Attack race fairing, Elka rear shock, BMC Race Air Filter, and BT003 race tires. Also had to buy a new helmet.

I already have WOODCRAFT Rearsets (bent the left one back into shape)... thinking about clip-ons.

So shes officially off the road now

Now time to prep for an endurance race at Shannonville on the 28th :)

Good luck with the endurance racing. Funny how once you ride on the track .The road just becomes dangerous and boring. I feel the clip ons make the bike more comfortable because it stretches me out .But the rear sets raise th epegs to much . I just use stock rear sets with Buell XB pegs to get a little more leg room without loosing much ground clearance.
