Can you explain to me how the location of the torque arm will prevent a high side???
I can see it being mounted like it is to raise the rear end, but can't see how it would work to prevent a slide...........unless I am missing something..........which is entirely possible
Good luck with your season........and go have fun!!
I have no idea of how or if it works.
All the best

Gus - just a thought, and if you were able to find the time to, how about starting a 'Gus's Racing Blog' thread for when things get underway? I'd be more than happy to create the necessary sub-forum for you and I think I can speak for everyone here, it'd be fantastic to read up on how things are going.

Reg, If we keep ours or get a new one we can start a convoy with the bikes on the back.
Been a few years since we have visited the Rhine/Mosel, when I was stationed out there it was where all the forces people went at w/ends, more english spoken than german.
Gus, hope it all goes to plan.
