Also so the lever can't be hit by another bike or rider while on the track... doesn't happen all the time - but remember when it happened to Ducati last year... on the straight the bike started flipping! That was crazy.
exactly. im not promoting these, or saying they are not stupid for street, but the point is that if you are on the track and run up on someone who is braking harder than you thought
and the back of their boot nips your front brake..... your day is OVER.
