Thanks!

Glad I could help!

That’s the Achilles heal of Racebox in my opinion. Check out my review of dragy. Their proprietary overlay is excellent. Their only issue is the requirement for constant connection to a phone. I just use an old one.

You can definitely use it for acceleration runs. Just put it into “drag” mode and you’re ready to go. Thanks for the tip, I will look into it. If you decide to purchase the product you can save 15% with the code ULTERIOR15 at checkout.

@@ulteriormoto Thanks, but I'll be getting it as well for a review :) It actually looks fairly big on the video. I hope it's smaller in real-life :)

It’s 3 inches square.

Hello, apparently no, not with the Mini S. It now features internal storage.

Correct 👍🏻

I looked into the British Customs unit and three others in the article on my website. There’s a link in the video description. In short, I think the British Customs might be the best one available. It looks easy to install and it’s specific to US plate sizes so you don’t have to deal with adaptors. Plus it’s a little bit cheaper.

You need your phone to start and stop recording, but you do it from the paddock, you don’t need constant connection.

@@ulteriormoto how does it know which track I'm at ?

The app on your phone has the location of tracks nearby. You simply need to select the configuration (if there is more than one for your track) then tell it to record “stand alone” before you head out to your session.

The bike was not hot. The instructions on their website does not say to test on a small area, in fact it reads “Spray Nano Tech Bike Cleaner onto the entire motorbike including components…” I communicated with them extensively afterwards and there was never a mention of not using the product on a street bike. Their instructional video shows a Triumph getting cleaned. Sponsoring a prominent World Superbike rider would be a weird choice for an off-road product.

I hope it helps

I have the 35mm Rise Side Mount Adjustable Angle Clip On Riser Kit. If your rise is sufficient it should clear the triple bolts. The other option is that you can get the ones angled toward the center of the forks. In my case I have both the rise and that center orientation. If you go with the center orientation, you probably want the short bars because you can’t slide them through the bar clamps like you can with the angled mounts.

@@ulteriormoto Thanks man!

Racebox uses a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to collect data.

@@ulteriormoto thankyou.and is it accurate?

To my knowledge, quite accurate. Operating at 25Hz, it samples data every 0.04 seconds. I have used multiple systems simultaneously and their data are very similar.

If you want to save 15% on it, use code ULTERIOR15.

At this point I’m seriously considering ordering SV650 stickers because nobody knows what kind of bike it is. 😆

I can’t imagine the set screw breaking on the Woodcraft. My real world experience has not shown this to be an issue. I can confirm at least three weld breakages on Vortex from different users. I do not have personal experience with Pitbull stands though I have only heard good things about them. I think the Woodcraft advantage is the adjustability. Setting it only as high as necessary is really nice for lifting the bike by yourself because it requires so little effort. I also like it for tire changes so I don’t have to lift it much to align the axle with all the various components.

Not that I know of

Crazy, right? Granted the 2003 was slightly heavier than subsequent years due to the steel subframe, but that’s pretty decent without using any expensive lightweight or custom materials.

The phone must be in constant contact with the device, so you will need to find a place on your bike to store it. Alternatively, you could try the RaceBox mini S. I also have review of that product which has on board storage, so you can leave your phone in the paddock and download your data when you get back.

I feel your pain. They were not cool to deal with either, even though I showed them what happened. Eventually they sent me some polish as if that was the finish I wanted. 🤷‍♂️

I get how you’d assume some dude on RUclips led you astray, but these stands are terrible for that very reason. I eventually snapped mine twice. Check out Woodcraft instead-they’re so much better.

Sounds good… wasn’t trying to be a dick. Good looking out. I removed the thumbs down. Have a good week.

Thanks man. Sorry that happened to you too. I contacted the reseller and they had Vortex send out a new leg, and I just barely tightened it but it kept slipping and eventually it broke yet again. Woodcraft’s are practically bulletproof and much easier to use because they don’t lift the rear 6” in the air-you can adjust them to only as much as you need. I don’t get compensated by them, they just make great products. I used to say that about Vortex.

Thinking about your situation, here’s another option for you. Get the seller to replace the broken part for you. This time when you set it up, don’t install the spool bracket bolts. Lift your bike and mark the position of the bolt holes on the spool brackets. Set the bike back down, remove the brackets, and drill holes at your marks just slightly larger than the bolt threads. Reassemble and now the bolts will hold the brackets in place through shear forces rather than friction. They won’t be adjustable anymore, but they shouldn’t keep breaking.

I thought so

Maybe that’s what is happening here. It would explain why I could never get them to synchronize. Rumor is they might have their own video overlay in the future.

Sounds convenient 👍🏻

Unfortunately I got to put them through a crash test, but they did great. I have a video on that as well.

Glad it helped. Please subscribe to help me keep going.

They rely on a direct connection to satellites, so under any kind of roof they won’t work at all.

Twins rock! Please subscribe if you haven’t already. 👍🏻

Glad I could help. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. 👍🏻

Yes, it can do all that. You don’t have to be on a track. The same is true for dragy which I also reviewed. That product is a bit more user friendly.

@@ulteriormoto Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna check that review!

I appreciate that

Racebox calculates lean angles and g forces entirely through algorithms based on GPS data. Bike sensors play no role. Lateral g forces are irrelevant for cornering data on a motorcycle for the reasons you mention which is why you select one or the other. G forces fore and aft (braking and acceleration) are still applicable.

@@ulteriormoto I never said anything about bike sensors lol The Racebox Mini has an accelerometer/gyroscope in an integrated chip (similar to what's in your phone), the chip can't collect accurate data for the reason I mentioned. Any data extrapolated from GPS data alone is unlikely to be very accurate, though.

You are correct about it having an accelerometer and gyroscope.

Thanks for the compliment!

Check out my Dragy review. I can’t comment on the Trackaddict compatibility, but the video overlays are easy and attractive.

@@ulteriormoto good news! They are working to add video 🥳🥳

Honestly, I had no idea there was such a thing. Do they offer a discount on a replacement?

Glad to help!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like them!

Appreciate the love 🤘🏻

They were true to fit in my experience. I wear a 9.5 E which is only slightly wider than normal D width. I thought they might be too small at first, but when they broke in they fit great. They were never easy on or off which I viewed as a positive. I had a big crash in these and sustained only minor bruising. See my Crashing Sucks series for more info on that.

Thanks for the feedback

Dragy wins on ease of data analysis and crushes on video import. Racebox wins big on being a standalone device and it’s technically more accurate (25Hz vs 10Hz).

I haven’t used it outside of the track, so I can’t speak with any authority about your scenario. My review of the dragy timer will premiere tomorrow, so check that out too. You might like it. They push the off-track capabilities pretty hard on their website, but again I only tested it at the track. As for the lean angle and speed, I figure if I can do it once I can do it twice.

He must have had an M license, but otherwise he just seemed to wander up and ask to ride. They had to give him a helmet and a pair of pants. As I rode behind him I was doing my best to remember my First Aid and CPR training.

If you watch my crash video you can see how well they dealt with barbed wire. Now is a good time to buy. They’re on sale for just $260.

The white EPS foam inside is painted black so you can see if there is a crack which would indicate it was compromised. I personally, I discard a helmet after any impact.

Suzuki somehow managed to keep the same bike competitive for 25 years through small iterations. The less said about the Gladius the better though.

also, I'd keep the boots and wear 'em as is! like a trophy!

I like the attitude. They’re definitely still functional.

Much appreciated

It’s a good way to get repeat customers.

The R7 is a great bike for the track too. Just sayin’…

Thanks! Forums do still serve a purpose.

Better information? How so?

@@ulteriormoto In terms of lean angle, the X3's accelerometer seems to give fairly accurate data, especially if I smooth it a bit. The only issue is any GPS/gyro data it records only updates once per second. So the stream needs a ton of interpolation to look smooth in a telemetry overlay.

The Racebox measures at a much greater frequency and it is highly accurate data. My only issue with it was that it didn’t properly sync with the video for whatever reason. When used with the Racebox app, the lean angle data is very helpful and intuitive. I went so far as to verify their data in a spreadsheet and there were no issues with it whatsoever.

@@ulteriormoto that's great news, I decided to buy a mini S anyways for the accurate GPS/lap timer alone. So if the gyro and lean angle are good that's just a bonus!
