Hi all/ advice needed please

[Burchy]

Thats an interesting graph.  By coincidence I had mine on a dyno today.  Totally stock except for a beowulf end can.  Got 147 at the wheel with fuelling spot on all the way until the last 1000 revs or so when they admitted that the over-rich mixture was due to their inability to supply enough air for the RamAir to work properly

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack a thread

  hi pal im only 5'7 5'8 with a 29-30 inside. Ok im on tippy toes and am getting the lower seat but tbh i can ride it as is! As others have said once you are moving it not an issue.  Good bike and very comfy.

As for the hand protection, I've never really noticed any serious issues but then I have an infill panel on mine, I'm not sure what their proper name is.   

What's a infill panel and it's purpose please ?

Are you having them made like this FlatHead Wings

or are you having metal brackets.

I may be interested in a set.

Edit: Photo link corrected

I think Steve's ( Wolf ) had some nice ones on.......they had a metal bracket to which the perspex fitted to...

Maybe he could pop a pic up ?

Mr davetherave...  I had the 2010 GTR and toured French/Swiz alps and Italy, Cornwall, Devon, Mid wales, Scotland and did more day rides than I can remember covered just under 10,000 miles in just under 2 years and never had a problem handling the GTR even at walking pace and they don't come much shorter than me "thought I would get that in before the wolf, Asif or the 2 dithering doderers did I had the Kawasaki lower gel seat fitted. but to be honest, it didn't make that much difference I could get one foot flat with the standard seat and one foot flat with the gel seat. if your buying the low gel seat just to make the GTR lower then at £400 it's not going to make that much difference. the GTR is a heavy bike to push around, but once it's moving the weight is not a problem if your use to riding the ZZR then the GTR is not going to be a problem the seat height difference is approx 1/2 inch, the bulk of the GTR when looking at it and sitting on it is all in the mind really. forget about the bulk of the GTR and don't underestimate the weight at crawling speed, even if your well over 6ft the GTR can catch you out especially at sharp or tight low speed turns being on the shorter side can be a advantage with the GTR you tend not to underestimate the big bugger

Ant, yep if I remember I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow after I've come off my night shifts.
