Are you serious, Tom?

I can't imagine ever needing one mate..it's just extra weight.

Try sticking a 583 into the front wheel - it slowed me down no end.......

If you're worried about the wobbles coming out of Lake Esses before the hairpin at Mallory, it's the track not the bike. If you got the right line it wasn't a problem.

Mind you, there's the little bump coming out of Druids at Oulton to look forward to...

I think i've upset the geometry of the bike fitting a new shock (which aint setup properly yet) Every time i headed upto the hairpin i was pinned in every gear and it was shaking it's head a little just before the hairpin, until one lap i had the mother of all tank slappers full lock to lock ten times, it knocked the pads back and the lever came back to the bar on the brakes into the hairpin. no one else seemed to have much trouble so thought it needed a damper?
