    Kudos to Vortex

    That’s great as a company to value customer service! My question is still why they leaked in the first place. Good on them for promptly replacing the parts, but concerning they failed at all. How old was the gas cap?

    Just wanted to say that this was an awesome experience being out at an N2 event. Definitely caught the bug to keep coming back. I came from taking cars on track with NASA-MA, but took a break to have less cars and more motorcycles in college. I have a 05 R6 with a GPR V1 and some cheap...
