We just got back from cruising the Anaheim SX pits to be sure all of our teams and riders are dialed before the rain rolls in. We have over 90% of the teams as usual running our Spoke Torque Wrench for the 8th year in a row. Our Brake Clevis and Rim Lock Spacers were on a lot of bikes throughout the pits, most notably the ultra clean Gibbs Racing Yamahas, and Torco Fuels Factory Connection Honda bikes. We even saw our clevis on certain #22 Yamaha that had been sand blasted to disguise it.
We want to wish Kevin Rookstool good luck on his Pro Ride.com, Flexx Handlebar System controlled KXF 250. Kevin’s had a great off season and is looking for a great SX season.

Fasst Company’s Anti-Vibration Inserts just received
a 10
out of 10 from Transworld Motocross' Product Report in the September
2007 issue. The report stated “the difference is easy to
detect from the moment you fire up your motorcycle, as the buzz transferred through
the handlebars is drastically reduced. The Fasst Company Inserts are
not new, but they are a staple when it comes to making your bike more comfortable
and easier to ride hard throughout an entire moto.”

same.

Fasst Company’s revolutionary Brake Clevis has quickly become
the choice of the elite Factory and Factory supported race teams.
Since its introduction in late 2006, the Brake Clevis has added
value to riders by offering increased braking performance while
eliminating the play in the rear brake pedal. Top riders like Travis
Preston, Nick Wey, David Vuillemin, Tyler Evans and others
have all enjoyed the benefits of the Brake Clevis in 2007.
On March 17,
2007 the Brake Clevis helped Brandon Jesseman take his YZF
250 to victory,
as he won the Orlando Supercorss. Fasst Company’s has been working
with the Motoworld Yamaha team all season and is looking forward to helping
Motoworld team riders stay up front for the remainder of the season.
Billy Laninovich ended the night in 5th position, Billy has been
using the Brake Clevis all season as well as the rest of the Sobe / Samsung
Mobile / No Fear Honda squad. Motosport
Kawasaki’s Robert Kiniry used his Fasst Company Brake Clevis
to slow his KXF 250 down as he rounded the first turn with the hole shot.
The Brake Clevis is now available
for all two wheel motorcycles and the TRX 450 four wheeler, all other
four wheel models will be available in summer 2007.
