I much prefer this clip but the ear bud input is a bit on the weak side and the plastic can tear after some use. I have locked mine in place using sugru. just molded it around the input and it makes it a solid piece that wont bend or tear.

These have been a great addition to the group of guys I ride with regularly. The range is great, connectivity to other devices works well, although the Garmin GPS can from time to time be a bit of a pain when the audio commands are on. But I dont use audio commands on any of my GPS units so turning it off was an easy decision as all my music comes from my phone. The only complaint is I with the unit came with the ear bud option clip. None of us run the helmet speakers because they just are not comparable to a decent set of ear buds. (I use Skull Candy)
Dainese Total Windstopper EVO Balaclava Features Ergonomic fit Differentiation of material on basis of body mapping Elasticated inserts at the rear Windstopper fabric Inserts in Coolmax fabric Warm and breathable Areas with differentiated fabrics Large base for protection of the neck
Yet again, Dainese has overwhelmed me with the quality of their products. At first inspection the seams are gorgeous and the material feels exotic. I really like how the two different materials are used to accommodate function. I did a three day dual sport ride in cold weather and this balaclava blocks out all the wind and fit perfectly inside my Arai RXQ. I would definitely recommend this or any Dianese product
Olympia Airglide 3 Pants Designed to coordinate with the Olympia Airglide, Viper, Bonneville, and Bushwhacker jackets, this style can be worn as a stand alone riding pant or as full over pant. Constructed in authentic Dupont Cordura with ballistic nylon mesh panels, this pant offers maximum airflow with superior abrasion resistance. Two front zipper pockets and two rear snap pockets offer extra storage for personal items. Foul weather rides are never a problem as these pants are also equipped with a wind and waterproof liner that can be worn as a stand alone pant. Adjustable knee armor positions, stretch waist panels and EZ hem bottoms help riders achieve a customized fit Outer shell constructed in 500denier Dupont Cordura with ballistic airflow mesh panels. Waterproof liner pant Full side leg zippers Removable and height-adjustable CE approved MotionFlex armor at knees Cool mesh airflow lining Removable EVA compressionfoam at hips Custom Fit detailing at waistand bottom hem 3M Scotchlite reflective piping from waist to hem Relaxed tailored fit Four storage pockets 8 connecting zipper forjackets
I', 6'1, 215lbs and I normally wear a 34 pant, 35 usually fits best. So I took the advice and sized up so I could use these as an overpant. They fit perfect as a warm weather pant (with shorts underneath), as an overpant, the legs are a bit tight. The waste sizing is good, but the bottom of the leg is a tight squeeze over a pant and the top of my boot. Makes me look like I have kankles. But I like them well enough to not care and keep them. They flow a ton of air but I have not tried out the liner just yet. I would imagine with the liner in, I will not be able to wear these as an overpant.

Metzeler Tourance EXP Front Tire
Metzeler Tourance EXP Front Tire Tourance EXP Front Tire from Metzeler, an innovative Dual Purpose tire developed and tuned for the big, modern street-oriented Enduro bikes. Improved carcass structures for enhanced straight line stability at high speed with smooth rolling characteristics for long distance journeys Perfect combination of long mileage capability for extended touring use and great traction also on off-road surfaces thanks to the specific all-round compound Great grip at all lean angles with light and precise handling make riding easier in all weather conditions Usage 95 ON / 5 OFF
I ride 99% of the time on paved roads and this tire performs very well. The only place where this tire feels squirrely is on tar snakes. I have been told there are other tires that handle them better, but they are tar snakes and ALL tires will be squirrely on some level. (tar snakes = soft liquid tar used to fill cracks in the road surface).
I commute on my v-strom and I also do long distance touring in the mountains. I have a lot of confidence leaning hard on the bike with these tires and have been getting a lot of miles out of them.
I have done several rides on fire service roads and gravel both while fully loaded and just me. The tires feel great and transition well from the different surface types.

This jacket is great for summer riding and allows a ton of air ventilation. Its as close to riding without a jacket as could be but still feels like it would provide a great amount of protection in case of an off.

Completely new helmet based on Corsair V shell Same wider eyeport opening as Corsair V Same face shield as the Corsair V Intermediate Oval Fit (same head shape as Quantum 2) Slightly different feel due to new cheek pads.

Also, helmet does not ship with the Pinlock face shield as shown. Pinlock face shield available as an accessory.
The RX-Q is a great helmet. The build quality is unmatched. This helmet is unreal quiet. It's quieter without earplugs than my previous helmet with ear plugs. It did take some time to get used to the helmets size. The XL was clearly too large and the L seemed to be correct, however I did develop hot a hot spot after an hour or so. This was relieved quite a bit by getting a thinner comfort liner. Great helmet and would recommend.
Teknic Chicane Gloves Shell Material Super supple drum dyed cowhide construction materials Goatskin Construction Inner materials Kevlar concealed palm and pinkie reinforcement Protection Steel Threaded reinforced knuckle protector for abrasion resistance Safety-Wrap pinkie system Additional Features Low profile and light weight Racing glove with pre-curved fingers and palm
The gloves fit well and have been comfortable to wear. However, the build quality isn't as high as other Teknic gear I have. The issue I am having with these gloves has to do with the secondary wrist straps. Both failed at the same time. The stitching has torn out, rendering the straps useless. The gloves themselves are still in tact and I will continue to use them. However, considering they are only 4 months old and only worn once in the rain. I don't think they should have fallen apart so quickly and easily. It won't keep me from buying Teknic gear at all, I just wouldn't recommend these gloves.
600 Denier Carbolex shell with 600 Denier Ballistic polyester knee panels for comfort, durability and abrasion resistance Rainguard waterproof/breathable barrier Phoslite reflective material panels and piping for increased nighttime visibility Durable, 600 Denier Ballistic Polyester seat panel to minimize slipping Doublestitched construction throughout Dualelastic panel waistband with adjustable waist belts Accordionstyle expansion panels at the rear waist and above knees for increased flexibility Two zippered hand pockets with waterproof lining Removable, CEapproved knee armor with TourMaster's 3Position Knee Armor Alignment System as well as removable soft hip armor External, 600 Denier Ballistic Polyester EVA padded hip and waist panels Stretch materials in the calf and inseam provide a performance fit Removable insulated liner with rib knit stretch inseam and knee area Waterproof sideentry leg zippers and zippered insulated liner allow for ease of dressing Features 8 pant/jacket zipper attachment with the jacket sides included
This is a great pant. Fits perfect. When I sit on my moto, the pant conforms and the armor in the knees are right where they should be. The liner is easy to take in and out and has strong loop/snaps to hold the legs in the pant. I like how the velcro up the pant legs are in pieces and not a single giant piece of velcro. This make for unzipping/un-velcroing the pant leg much easier.
