Killboy Picture and tip over protection
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:38:36 AM »
Anyone recognize this rider snapped by Killboy on the Dragon last week?

http://killboy.blogspot.com/2012/05/tha-beast.html

Are those the Top Block tip over protection on the lower cowling?

I thought I saw a photo of a Concours in the photo section that had the GoPro camera mounted in the same location.

According to some *cough*SilverDammitOwners*cough*, that GoPro video must look something like this:

Thanks - I didn't realize that they were so slanted.  For some reason I thought they were more horizontal.

The 08/09 models are more horizontal because the top of the lowers line is more horizontal, the 10+ Top Block sliders follow the line of the 10+ lowers line, which is more angled...
