yeah man i know exactly what you're talking about lol. i have an aftermarket front subframe so they're haven't affected anything whilst riding when they've riggled off, tape is a good idea though, I'll tape them up tomorrow night! cant believe i havent thought of it yet lol.
yes racers edge are awesome, i had hotbodies (mid>low end quality in my experience) on my last track bike (09 gsxr 600) and they were a terrible fit, had to bend and flex lots of the front upper and rear tail fairings to fit semi-well.
i love eastern creek, im hoping to get back down there later this year!
