Yet another example of why I'll only purchase Attack track 'glass.

honestly, ive seen good and bad out of the cheaper race skins. We all know shark skinz and armor are the best but for those of us on a more tight budget, we make do with the cheaper. YbSlow runs a set of cheap plastics and they are GREAT, fit and everything. Mine, same company, not so much. I think they sent me the wrong belly pan, or not, either way, they dont fit for shit. Thats why i just run nekked. However this track day, you may be seeing some zip ties and me rolling with plastics, all depends on how I feel about it...but go with what you can afford and feel like dealing with.

If you want to go cheap, be prepared for some labor intensive work to fit them if they arent perfect, if you prefer not to do this, save and get the good shit.

Rae,

When you ride the bike naked, don't you get scared if you get off and there are no plastics to protect the vitals on your bike?

Good question but no, actually I like riding her like that at the track. I keep my frame sliders and a tail section on the bike but I honestly feel more at ease not having to worry about screwing up good plastics (since my race plastics never fit anyway). I went down already like that and people may argue, but my vitals were protected and fine. The only damage: frame slider, broken radiator tab, left clip on ground down and shift peg snapped off. If i'd had plastics, the entire front would have been destroyed.
