I had one for my race bike. Worked pretty good, even on a FWD minivan - Just had to load the van heavy in the front to prevent wheelies. The rack itself is solid steel and weighs probably 100lbs...

Rear door entry hight will also be something to look at. On paper, my Ninjette will fit inside my Grand Caravan. In reality, I'd need a team to load it and probably still hurt my back.

This is exactly what happens towing with a passenger car. Look at the OP's picture. The rear is damn near bottomed out already, and the front is damn near topped out. That's with a static load. ...

Personally, I'd choose the van. In hindsight, a low-roof eurovan (Transit/Sprinter/Promax) would have been a better choice for me than my Grand Caravan. If you're just doing one bike a 5x10...

Also, looks like your intake is on the same side of the filter as the throttle bodies, unless you rotated that too.

With just a Ninjette and a single rail Kendon, you probably don't have to go hardcore. I would still try to put some heavy stuff in the passenger seat. Bringing a toolbox and cooler to a track day...

I towed a Uhaul box trailer with 2 bikes behind a Prius once upon a time. It was not an easy haul. Hence my comments. I also did a few more tows with only one bike and it was a good deal easier. ...

Look at the weight distribution on the car. And realize that it's probably FWD. Wheelying a FWD is bad news. Sure, it can pull the trailer. But it's going to handle like **** and might not be...

I have concerns.

I've had bar-end mirrors using that same mechanism for attaching to the inside of the bar. They rattled loose pretty quickly and rotated. More expensive units will have a better...

Could be end-of-season clearances, and RTS hasn't done theirs yet since they'll just shift their focus to doing trackside in Cali for the winter season?

Well, it ain't meant to be a dirtbike. Any time you're putting it through that much abuse, there's a chance you'll blow a seal. Especially if you're running a higher oil level/smaller air gap. If...

Repacking a Hit Air isn't rocket surgery. Just stuff it back in, redo the snaps and velcro. Re-cocking the firing pin is mildly tricky, but I'm guessing the Helite uses roughly the same mechanism....

Yup. I'm short. I pretty much took the stock foam out, stuck in a bunch of the foam they give you with Shorai batteries, and pop-riveted the stock cover back on. The foam's packed in a bit, but...

Something like those, although I got mine off eBay. I've since switched to Woodcraft bars. Gets the bars down a bit closer to where they need to be.

Yup. Pressures off the warmers. Crash was 2-3laps in, but I was on a pretty good pace for me.

So, weird crash Saturday on the R11s. Lowside late in Turn 1 at PIR trying to go outside a slower rider. 75ish mph, nearly full lean. Running ~1:31s. About 90deg. Pressures 30f, 33r per the...

Late to this, but I'm happy to hear you jumped at that SV. As others have mentioned, a 300 can be rather frustrating for non-race trackdays. Once you're fast on one, it gets a bit better, but...
