Sweet but the RS have gotten as pricy as the PR5

Us low rent types spring for the T32s... 🤤

Are the T32s any easier to spoon on than the T30s and T31s were?  Those previous gens were a bear to spoon on.  I spoiled myself with PR5s this time around and not only were they super easy to spoon on, they are dreamy to ride.  Boy does that pricetag sting.  Maybe I'll go T32s next time and use the zip tie method.

Still have the T31s but the rear was a bear 

Except I have my own NoMar Classic and Handy Lift I bought in 95 when they were reasonable 😁

Love some info on these!

They're human legs.  These come clad in Squid-Approved flipflops, which add 5hp.  

Sadly, pricing varies wildly, and availability through covid has been a nightmare.

Any tip over protection  recommendations for my 2021 Tracer GT  ? Will parts from previous years fit ? Thanks for any help  

I don't know for sure, but I'm 99% sure that you'll need crashbars for the 21+ models and that old ones won't fit.  The engine and frame both are new.  It's *REMOTELY* possible that the engine mounts are in exactly the same locations and nothing has been moved to be in the way, but unlikely.

Installed Rizoma touring foot pegs.. they were on back order for more than two months, by the way any thoughts on if these are correct or on backwards? They mount fine in other direction (no L or R indicator anywhere) but I feel like the wider part of the pegs should be in the back in the smaller in the front, looks more aerodynamic this way but welcome any input

Not actually done today... but I put new tires, T32.

And changed brake pads and brake lines!

does changing brake lines improve the braking feel substantially?

was thinking of doing that and upgrading the MC at the same time.

changing lines...no difference in feel

changing MC ....should be an improvement

Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Not substentially... but I felt a change, hard to say if it's just the lines alone, or the pads too...

I disagree, lines IMO firm things up..

R1 14' Brembo MC & 320 rotors with HH+ pads 👌

did you do all 4 changes at once?

would like to hear from fellow members who just did brake lines change.

reason for asking is if brake lines change itself will give a firmer feel, i can save on changing rcs 17.

When I changed my lines to braided I already had HH pads on the front and am of the opinion that I definately had a firmer front brake feel. The rear not so much but no real surprise there I guess.

Having said that I did a very thorough bleed of the system at the same time which may have contributed to the final result.
