I know Kev says it's a further £60 for paint, and £70 for a catch tray or whatever, but thats daft.

Buy a fairing, make a tray, it's not rocket science, but it is a race bike... Under £180.

That's what I'd do, and I'm not an engineer, but I have raced, and I have chucked expensive things down the road, and I have had to replace it.

Notice Kev E, who has been racing a long time, hasn't gone out and bought a new bike, noooo... Cheap is good you see, he is not stupid!

You can argue all day about quality and price and all that stuff, but at the end of the day, if you are doing this on a budget, then you have to buy stuff that will 'do the job' and not neccessarily look a million dollars.

It's common sense over looking good expense.

As for fairings at places like Snetterton. My old duelling partner chris Firmin soon fitted a GSXR fairing to his SV650 in the Minitwins, after loosing out to Ryan Harris (I think) who had already fitted a fairing - So it will make a diff.

Although I still think that if you put the best rider on the slowest bike - He would still win.

Incidently DrA - I work bloody hard, over 60 hours a week, and take home under £250 a week as a LGV Driver, I know what hard work is, so before you have a personal dig, do some research.

If you read what I have read, I haven't once said your product is crap. I've never seen it (you could update you website of course - I know a webmaster!). Also, my comments weren't personal as I've never met you!!

Rant over
