Bar pad
« on: January 03, 2009, 03:25:55 pm »
anyone know of a suzuki bar pad available with NO yellow on it? eg white 'suzuki' on black. i thought MXM did one but no bar pads listed on site. VRM only lists the black on yellow or yellow on black. i dont mind a bit of blue but dont want yellow.

I raised this very same issue with VRM and he said he would look into a limited run of black with white suzuki bar pads but I've yet to see any listed, AMS racing sometimes have some, try them.

Jeez I hate bar pads..... I reckon they look wanky, kinda like boot savers for handlebars. Shit I feel better now that little niggle is off my chest.

since last year MA? says you now have to have them in enduros/relaibilty trials etc even have to have them in club days and fun type gymkana events now.  It might only be a MSA thing and not national i dont know?. ive only seen it in supplemtray event regs that come out separate to the MA book.  Im pretty sure they would have already had to been used in MX though???? just like lever balls and plugged bar ends?..... and i dont want a modern shiny plastic one. dont fancy loosing any teeth either ;D

i dont mean to get people jumping up and down and worried now, just simply looking for a black & white pad. :)

And another thing......What the hell is a Reliability Trial. I've never seen one. I guess it's a SA thing.

yeah SA thing Firko http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=4472.0

this describes it http://www.motorcyclingsa.org.au/disc_reliabilitytrials.html

longest running motorcycle event in the world is the 24 hour reliabilty trial held in SA since 1924

surely Geoff Eldridge had spoken to you about them? he rode in the 1986 24 hr. been a bit of coverage in ADB over the years too

Yeah Leith, I was being a bit cheeky. I'd known of their existance but you never hear of them in any other place than SA. I seem to remember GE doing something along those lines but wow...it's been quite a while since he and I had a yarn, he's been dead for 16 years! I bet he thought bar pads were a wank though ;D.

no handguards not essential. good place for storing zip tyes aswell. i think its just one of those rules they had to have. sidecars have to have those re-coil kill switches aswell, you know the ones on the stretchy leads
