Hi Eags,

I have a pair of PodMX knee braces and I will not ride without them, the new Pod K700 are little bit lighter. You maybe able to find the PodMX a bit cheaper because of the release of the Pod K700.
I was luck to find a pair up for auction on eBay in the US and got them for $450au delivered (normal price $500 ea.) they were brand new still in the box and the correct size.

If I were you I would check eBay out for what ever quaility brace you can find, you never know your luck, I got lucky.

Hows that for advice ??? :laugh:
There are Delkevics for $150 (new, but private sale)
CTI`s for $400 (factory seconds) & Asterik for under $800 :blink:

Massive savings on all types, just gonna have a think now & maybe wait to save up some more $$$ before making the decision.
$800 is still an unachievable goal though I think :unsure:

Thanx Mal
I will chase Dude up & check them out next time I see him,,, thats the sort of info I was after as well (hadn`t even thought of the Bulkiness)

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

Yes , That was a thought I have had too mate
Will look into it

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah, I hear ya man,,,
I have lookes at them tonnes of times.
But the $$$ aint gonna stretch that far I`m afraid :unsure:

Thanx for the input though, thats what I asked for

[Dwayne OMember]

Too true there Krusty,,,
I have lookes at them before, but as usual $$$ are always the factor :blink:

However, what price can you put on safety??? It is a long discussed topic on here for sure,,, and the most common philosophy for me is ” always buy the best protection that you can afford “

$300 for the PAIR sounds like great value to me, gotta be better than the $60 hinged knee guards that I have been using for the past 2 years. (they have saved me from some bumps too BTW) :laugh:

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

:woohoo:
This should have been well worth the wait mate!!!
Look forward to the review post test ride

Have a good ride, sounds like a cracker with some good blokes

[Dwayne OMember]

No wonder my jaw is sore from laughing :silly:

How tight is out Aldi team gasser rider????

He is so tight his was the only bike that ran out of fuel :laugh: :laugh:

He is so tight he uses cable ties to hold his handle bars on :ohmy: :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh:

TB

Hmm it was a case of improvise or dont ride,I decided to improvise I tried to find a nut that would fit,even tried the one off my utes power steering box.

The fuel situation was a bitch probably because the bike was shared and did more laps than the others. Letting someone else ride my bike is not a case of being tight id say its a case of being generous,unselfish and making sure a fellow trail rider has a good time and not wasted travelling 500 km for nought

carry on Rex :laugh:

I see you used Beagles KTM cable ties, I know he says green all the way but you can tell but the pretty orange cable ties he keeps in his wagon that he really wants to go to the dark side.

Either that or he will update to his new green meany

:laugh: The ties might be orange, but that is cause they come free to me
And YES, the next bike will be GREEN as always :laugh: just not sure how far away it is :unsure:

[Dwayne OMember]

Sorry Mate,
Krusty beat ya by half an hour :blink: :laugh:

I hope something can be worked out for ya

you had to go and put it on my wedding anniversary weekend didn’t you Boony.

My life wouldn’t be worth living if I put my hand up for this one. :S

:blink:
Then Moose will have to travel over solo again like last year,,,
HE can bunk in my cabin if he wants (this time we will have an actual bed for him, not the cab of the VW) :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

NOPE,,
No Pics mate, we had no cameras, no phones & no time to stop :laugh:
Too busy wrestling bikes thru the clay (Dog on Lino style)

BTW, I hear that the XR`s dramas may now just be the workings of the kicker shitting itself!!!
Good news for the young bloke, as he only got the bike last friday :blink: :laugh:

:laugh:
The most testing part was the last hr of pushing the XR up out of the jungle!!!
Damn it was hard yakka, with many rest stops on the way up,,,

Anyway, I have now passed the doubt stage (all in the head) and am ready to rock again

Just hadn`t planned on 195ks first ride back :blink:

[Dwayne OMember]

:huh: I dunno really, it was similar to when my XR250 stopped a few yrs back.
His kicker jammed solid, so the boys put it in gear, bumped it backwardS a few times and presto,,, it loosened up,,, but just kicked down freely with NO RESISTANCE at all, just a whirring sound :dry:

SO, the long haul began up to the road (HE WAS ASKING FOR A LIGHTER AT ONE STAGE) :laugh:

WILL KNOW MORE IN A FEW DAYS i SUPPOSE
