anyone ever cut these things off? They break when your bike goes down. mine are already screwed anyway.... Just need to find a way to keep the controls from hitting my tank...

I was reading one ECS' website and they did it to a track bike 848.

  Steering stops are the only thing that keep the controls from hitting the tank. I would go to a welding shop and have them repaired or replaced.

Or, cut them off and place a rubber patch on the tank?

So how about next time you've got your triples out, you cut off the sheet metal stops and weld in something beefier?

I mean, with the Tera Patrick-like frequency with which your bike goes down, it might not be a bad idea.

But if you take a serious spill, they'll put extra pressure on your frame right at the headstock, which is already a weak point.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Thought it was funny for a different reason.  "Yeah, the bike went down" sounds so much better than, "Yeah, I crashed again."  My friend always lamented the lack of reflexive verbs in English compared to Spanish.  "La ventana se rompie" - "The window broke itself."  What 8 year old with a baseball can't appreciate that?
