Can you explain to me how the location of the torque arm will prevent a high side???

I can see it being mounted like it is to raise the rear end, but can't see how it would work to prevent a slide...........unless I am missing something..........which is entirely possible

Good luck with your season........and go have fun!!

I have no idea of how or if it works.
All the best

Please keep us updated on this Gus, It would be good to get a Boxertrix group out to support you . Long weekend in Germany sounds good to me

All the best Gus. Which bike are you going to race?

Gus - just a thought, and if you were able to find the time to, how about starting a 'Gus's Racing Blog' thread for when things get underway? I'd be more than happy to create the necessary sub-forum for you and I think I can speak for everyone here, it'd be fantastic to read up on how things are going.

Gus, great news,could be just the reason for me & Gwen to go watching continental racing again.We are in the Black Forest tonight after a few days in the Mosel & Rhine region.In the MX5 not on the bike.I fancy getting the motorhome across the chanel again.
best wishes,
Reg & Gwen.

Reg, If we keep ours or get a new one we can start a convoy with the bikes on the back.
Been a few years since we have visited the Rhine/Mosel, when I was stationed out there it was where all the forces people went at w/ends, more english spoken than german.
Gus, hope it all goes to plan.
