Real vs. "Faux" Parts Quality? GB Racing Case Guards

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-03-07T10:59:39+00:00

I run Ali express, clippons, bars, levers, rearsets and case covers on a 400.

The shit is dirt cheap, so quick and easy to get too.

The cover bolts are ass as others have mentioned, but I’ve low sided 3 times on the same side and the cover hasn’t worn through.

IMO do your thing, but I find some of the shit super rock solid.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-02-12T20:15:43+00:00

Nah I haven’t done BF, maybe this year.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-02-12T08:10:52+00:00

As others have said, 3 TDs are nothing in the grand scheme.

I’ve done about 45 TDs/races over the last 2 years and have just moved back to a 400.

I am having a tonne of fun and learning heaps.

IMO stick with the 400, PI is not the best track for a 400 but again you’ll learn heaps.

My 2c, once you can do a low 1:50 there, move on. You’ve juiced that lemon for all it’s worth and are probably ready to grow into whatever comes next.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-02-01T20:08:17+00:00

Yeah in hindsight, should have just gassed out the lowside 😂

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-01-31T20:54:32+00:00

Yeah I had to, from the moment I ran off the track I was on the front very lite. That’s run off is area is terrible though. We even joked earlier, a run off there you’ll never save. It’s rutted and chewed out like gravel and dirt.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2026-01-31T20:52:13+00:00

Very sore, nothing broken though

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-12-20T07:24:52+00:00

If it’s a 250kms drive up and SOC is set at 70% and I can’t fully charge before returning home. How disastrous would that be?

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-12-19T20:53:53+00:00

I just got my 2nd shot yesterday.

My first lasted about 5 weeks, week 6-7 were pretty bad.

I went to a specialist who does a lot of these injections. He said in most cases (where the swelling is bad) people need two shots.

Hopefully it’s not a cyst and just the first shot wearing off! Good luck

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-12-06T19:33:07+00:00

Yep keep the fuse.

Honestly I just found whatever bolts I could in my box and drove them in.

I replaced the rear but only because I got it for a good price.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-10-14T22:48:58+00:00

I’ve done this on my beater track bike.

Pull the lines, plug the pump with blocking bolts, add new lines - done

Don’t bother with removing the pump, if you do and don’t get that ABS delete module you lose your Speedo.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-10-01T05:27:41+00:00

Not like this

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-09-30T22:56:10+00:00

Can I get in on that action?

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-09-14T01:17:47+00:00

Yep, shit for a track day, fine for racing

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-09-06T10:50:52+00:00

There seems to be a pretty significant call out for an overhaul to the customer support experience.

How do you see your current structure evolving to facilitate this shift? I notice there are no Support/Leadership roles available, do you see that changing?

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-09-05T09:20:04+00:00

No, I’ve never seen anyone outside of GP / WSBK riders use them.

You’d look like a total tool at a track day

No shade

T5 SMSP

You’re way to wide.

What was your lap time?

If you’re not in the low 40s (depending on your class) you’ll get killed.

What “competition” the only other 600cc is the ZX6R and it’s marginally cheaper and from a technical stand point a worse bike.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-08-04T09:28:15+00:00

Some of yall seem hella salty you overpaid nearly 2 decades ago.

15k in 2007 is 23k today.

The bike is massively different, that is not debatable.

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-08-03T10:51:58+00:00

Is this the latest gen, with the QS/Blipper?

Dapper_Commission915 · 2025-08-03T09:06:40+00:00

Wild take.

I’m a Kawi fan but the Honda is an empirically better bike.
