Greg Tracy Speaks… (5-time PPIHC Champion)

“The Touratech handlebar risers made a big difference on the bike putting me in the right position to win. The heavy wear on the Touratech cylinder guards demonstrated they did the critical job of protecting the motor through the 156 turns to the top of Pikes Peak. “
