are those stomp grips black, or thats the color of the bike showing thru clear stompgrip?

Yeah the radiator is a valid concern as well.

The issue with the forks is a car in front of you kicking up little pebbles and shit, if they nick the fork tubes your forks are toast.

Yes, this set of stompgrips is black, not seethru.

True... but do I want to disassemble and rebuild my forks before the next track days because I wouldn't sacrifice a week of street riding?...

I think you have a valid point but considering how many different bikes travel the roads with out any protection in the first place... HEY,do you have any of those wrap around beer cozys laying around your house or something to put on the exposed part of the forks with zip ties?

anything can happen-its only a week...thats almost over anyway. just wait. track beats street anyday, spend this week checking over everything, u just did one or two trackdays after putting it back together. make sure all that shit is clean and tite. then ballz out at trackday with new paint.

A week? Who's doing the work, Eurore? Could tear the forks off the front of the bike in a matter of mins... completely break them down in about an hour... then put them back together (need a fork seal pounder) and poof... done! Include lunch break, and drinks break... half a day.
