Put it all back together and finally I have what I was after! The plate works brilliantly but if I had some 5mm aluminium plate I […]

As soon as you unpack this plate you know it’s a serious bit of kit! 4.8mm thick aluminium, it looks extremely well crafted and the finish on every part is top notch.

PLEASE NOTE – The review of TwinPegs is in 3 parts: Part 1 – Fit & Finish Part 2 – Installation Part 3 – Riding With TwinPegs In the interests of complete transparency Kai (the owner and inventor of TwinPegs), sent me a set of these dual foot pegs free of charge, on the proviso that I test and review them and post the results for all to read. With that in mind, he must be […]

When the first people decided they’d like to fly, many mocked the idea as “impossible”. Today, it’s difficult to imagine a world without aviation. So when folks like Kai Ingvald Flateland innovate new products on our behalf, I believe we need to listen with impartiality, test those products and fairly conclude for ourselves whether they add something to century old designs or not, so please do keep an open mind as we proceed with this […]
