Does the bottom of the clamp interefere at all when you go full tuck on a race type bike by hitting the tank? I dont want to use a 3M chin mount like you said on my nice helmet but I want to film POV shots sometimes on road /track

Thank you for the video! Would you keep your motorcycle fully lifted on your Abba stand for the entire duration of a Winter? I live in Chicago, I would assume in my case, plan to keep my 2023 CB1000R lifted for say October through April of the following year...

I haven't keep mine lifted mainly because I'm constantly moving bikes around. I don't see a reason why you couldn't keep it lifted, it would stop flat spots on the tires

Hi. I like your video, but i have one question. When you are on the back of the bike, looks like the plate number bracket its going to cover the Z LED factory brake light. Is that correct? or? We cant see it from that angle. Thanks for the video btw! 😊

I'm wearing them right now. Definitely NOT SINGLE LAYER, as advertised. Pointless sweaty Polyester mesh that feels like it will rip the first time i remove them. Size 34", which fits loose. Belt required. Normally I wear a aize 30"-32" depending on brand. So thats...good? For this much money, they should be the size on the tag. It's a standard unit of measurement, and not open to interpretation. At least the legs aren't too tight like John Doe pants. Too much trouble to send back, but I cant say I'm truly satisfied. The front pockets are too small and barely fit today's huge phones. The back pockets are huge, and don't do the backside any favors by going halfway down my hips. The zipper pocket is also small and pointless. Cargo pockets would have made more sense. I was hoping these would be perfect summer riding pants. Apparently quality isn't available at any price.

But it looks like you didn't roll the top 2/3 times before securing it with the buckles. That will give the bag the 100% waterproof. Greetings from the Netherlands

I purchased the Knox Urbane Pro Mk3 in July 2023. I’m a weekend warrior and I’ve put less than 40 hours of use on my jacket when the cuffs began to fray. I wrote the company directly as well as sending photos, to which they responded , that the frayed cuffs were a result of repeated abrasion from gloves, or likely wear from the Velcro closure on gloves. They said that they would not replace the jacket or refund my money. I was disappointed to say the least, particularly when “abrasion resistance“ is the company’s advertisement lead. Clearly, the material used at the cuffs is flimsy at best, and inconsistent with the durability of the rest of the jacket. I pride myself on taking meticulous care of my equipment, and for the company to suggest that the use of gloves on a motorcycle jacket caused this premature wear and damage is ridiculous and outrageous. These companies have a captive audience as well as regulatory capture to inflate their prices, and to advertise an abrasion resistant armored shirt that is now literally falling apart at the seams after less than 40 hours of use is shameful.
@sneakypurpleninja
@sneakypurpleninja 4 месяца назад
I reading your comment I checked my jacket and I don't have that problem, maybe because I don't use the thumb loops and I don't use the same gloves (I alternate through Dianese, Knox and Alpinestars) Either way it's not good customer support. It does alter my perspective of the company.

When accelerating and twitch begins, backing off abruptly can turn into tank slappers. When decelerating youll encounter the same harmonic.

Absolutely crazy the ZH2 doesnt come with a steering damper. I didnt know that was a thing anymore since every fast machine, be it the zx6r or zx10r, has one. With the gearing + the Zh2 engine the front must be constantly in air or at least very light. How did they not feel the need to put a steering damper into something like that.
