Hammerhead shifter with +10/+20 tips - I have had two. Both shredded the splines in less then two rides each on my ktm450 . This is with a brandnew shift shaft too, stock lever one lasted me 2 years heavily abused. Dealing with them has been an absolute beating too - lesson learned - just wish someone else made a quality product like this. With size 13 boots its very helpful. Modified a replacement stock one and added the tip on it - no problems months later.
I forgot about these POS! Damn it's been awhile.
Tusk gaskets made me realize paying more for OEM is always worth it.
The Shop
NEVER had one problem with the Honda/Hinson components. Had a Magura hydraulic clutch sent my way and it bunged up on me big time in an important race.
The cheap blue milk crate to stand your bike on as a bike stand. Every single person that I know that own one of these at some point tried to use it as a step to load there bike in the back of their truck and their foot fell through the cheap top causing you to drop your bike and bang your chin on the tail gate. True story. At least 4 people I knew this happen too.
Thor T-30s
inter-am solid aluminum handlebars
Oakely goggles (the first ones were crap! They are a lot better now!)
Pit Row
The Linkage was binding, right outta the crate...push the rear of the bike down...it stayed...down.
The gear-box: Awesome...as long as you didn't shift it.
VERY, VERY, VERY fast motor...in whatever gear you left the gate in...it was fast...in THAT Gear...'cause that's the only gear you're gonna get 'til ya let ALL THE WAY off of the throttle.
I called Pete Murray(?), I think. Told him that my KTM was the best Honda advertisement ever made.
I'd gotten a sweet deal on the bike for racing (2 of them, actually. -1- was never even started!). Still. Nothing good about that Open-Bike POS chassis with a disolving motor.
Nothing.
Maico brakes/lack there of.
Monarchs.
Carabellas.
Kenny Zart.
Etc.
you know how that turned out...
wait... i just looked at their website... are they better now? they at least look polished now...
82 High Desert 100 (my first WFO 6th gear pinned Desert Race) One of two who passed me -until I crashed w/blown shock - was a KTM-495 going way faster than whatever my PE-175 did 6th wfo... fucker!
I tried to keep up but did a major swap a couple miles later.
