Felix,
I like your style (and I'm catching you on the lowside count!).....I'll have a look at Carbotech.
The biggest problem that us 888 crashers have is that we wipe out a silencer every time. Maybe that's why Terblanche(?) stuck them under the seat of the 916...............
Using a decent rearset and bung was intended to try and save silencer as well as clutch/battery/rad.
If I add that much Kevlar I may as well be using my 600.......
Cheers, Paul
