RidersDiscount Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) RidersDiscount.com now carries GB Racing components! Designed and manufactured in the UK, GB Racing has become recognized for employing excellent engineering capabilities to create bolt-on motorcycle crash protection products. The FIM-approved components are manufactured using injection molded engineering-grade long glass filled nylon 6.6 (LGFN 60%). This material offers excellent impact resistance when compared to other machined plastics. In fact, injection molded LGFN 60% has 4.6x greater tensile strength and 6x greater impact strength when compared to Delrin motorcycle parts! All secondary case covers come with A2 stainless steel socket cap bolts and Class 12.8 steel hex head bolts. The 12.8 hex head bolts are bright zinc plated and then de-embrittled to reduce the likelihood of bolt sheering. A2 stainless steel socket cap bolts were chosen for use in GB Racing frame sliders for the material’s excellent elastic modulus, meaning they are more likely to bend instead of just breaking in a crash. This choice of hardware ensures the protective equipment will stay in place when they are called into duty.As you can see, GB Racing is an engineering company that’s passionate about motorcycle parts! These physical properties lend themselves well to motorcycle crash protection and their implication in GB Racing products has brought the company much notoriety in European racing leagues. Every GB racing component starts life on a computer using 3D CAD/CAM modeling to render close-fitting parts that require few, if any modifications to your motorcycle to install.GB Racing parts are not yet available on our website, to order yours, call MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext 804 or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with GB RACING BUNDLE KIT in the subject line and please be sure to include the model and year of your motorcycle for accurate availability.A typical GB Racing Protection Bundle includes: clutch cover, stator cover, ignition timing cover and shark guard, though the exact composition varies from model-to-model.GB Racing ignition timing cover.Swingarm stand spools are made with a combination of glass-filled nylon and CNC-machined bases.Stator cover from GB Racing.Notice the metal collets located at each mounting point. These are found on every GB Racing secondary case cover to ensure bolt stability and enhance crash resistance of the engine cover.GB Racing secondary clutch cover also enhances protection of the clutch actuator arm on many motorcycles making it less likely to suffer a damaging blow in a crash.A motorcycle shark guard is designed to prevent the rider from losing his or toes between the chain and the rear sprocket. It’s cheap insurance.Some motorcycles come with bungs for attaching a shark guard, just use the included hardware to bolt it on to your bike. For bikes that do not include this component, a mounting bracket is included though you will have to drill and tap your swingarm to install this safety device.

RidersDiscount Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) We’ve heard a lot of good things about GB Racing case covers and their damage mitigation properties for a long time, even before we picked up the brand. And, we’ve heard many of our own customers praise the product too. Well, now we’ve been able to test them out for ourselves on our Triumph 675 Project Bike and we’re happy to report that we’re very pleased with their performance too! Our rider was entering the Monza Bowl at Grattan Raceway when the front let go (suddenly!) and put the bike on its ear at about 40-50 mp/h. The washout slammed the 675 hard onto its left side, which put a big dent in the fuel tank, bent the subframe, broke off the footpeg and smashed up the tail section quite a bit. Despite all of that, the GB Racing stator cover protector did its job by absorbing much of the impact energy and prevented the pavement from coming into contact with the OEM stator case cover.See for yourself. There were no scrapes or damage left on the OEM cover, only the GB unit had obvious crash damage.A look at the inside of the case saver reveals no penetration, stress fracture or deformation from the crash.Approved for use in dozens of professional race organizations and seen often on Moto2 bikes, it’s clear the long glass-filled nylon protector is engineered for crash performance. And even though our example would likely still be useful in another crash, we opted to replace this cover with a new one. Replacement is easy too, since you’re not breaking into the engine cases, there’s no oily mess and no need to worry about pinching gaskets. All in all, GB Racing makes a fantastic crash protection product in our book! Edited February 4, 2013 by RidersDiscount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 MotoGP bikes are ludicrously expensive marvels of engineering that need to be able to survive a crash. That’s why some turn to GB Racing for protection. We spotted a set on the Aprilia powered CRT machine of Aleix Espargaro at the Indy GP over the weekend, and they had already been put to the test in a high-side during Saturday’s final practice session.
