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

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:

Yep, those are the 10+ model Top Block sliders.

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

That's so that we don't see all of those slower colors.

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...

Wow - miss a day and miss a lot. That pic is yours truly on the 2011 silver dammit C14. Rode the sky way and dragon with my son {riding his old man,s zrx) and one of his friends who was on a zx6r.  The tip over protectors are untested so far....


The sounds on the dragon are like the pod race in the first star wars prequel. Ducs, hogs, wings, lots of transverse fours and the occasional speed triple.

But the guy that was driving the Smart car needs to leave his man card on the tree of shame!

No, no, no... the 2011 is really and truly silver, not "silver dammit"!   You are thinking of the 2008 light blue, maybe...
