2 more questions!
1. Can I fit rubbers around the footpegs to decrease vibration?
2. There is a bit of tapping from the engine unless the clutch is pulled in (guy said it was bearing/whatever on clutch plate and that a lot of bike did it?
Kompressor.... there shouldn't enough vibration for it to be an issue for you. The standard pegs are rubber topped and have anti-vibration weight underneath. I've replaced mine with Gixxer pegs (no rubber, no weights) and the vibration still isn't intrusive. So if the bike you're looking at vibrates that much.... possibly best to keep looking. Same with the clutch noise.
There are always a few around and there will be more on the market as the '08's make it to Oz. Don't rush in. Wait until you find one thats sweet (as in... no question marks over gear like clutches). Stay with the board and one will pop up soon enough.
Hey Mutha.... you buying yourself a Busa??
