Vance Hines 3 Round Twin Slash Slip On Exhaust for Harley One of the best ways to ease into the customization of your Harley is with the addition of some slip-on mufflers that will open up the performance of your bike along with dialing in a nice throaty and deep exhaust note. These new slip-ons give you the unique Vance Hines twin slash look thats blue-proof thanks to its 3-inch full coverage muffler heat shields wrapped around 2-1/2-inch muffler bodies built with louvered core baffles pre-installed. Optional Quiet Baffles and Competition Baffles available (sold separately). Features 3-inch Round with Twin Slash End Treatment Full Coverage Muffler Heat Shields Optional Quiet Baffles and Competition Baffles (sold separately) Made in the USA

These are a big bang, literally. Together with the H-D SE heavy breather, they improve the bike performance: higher hp and torque, smoother burn and more responsive throttle. The sound is awesome, maybe a bit too loud.
Excellent service from Revzilla as usual.

Nolan N85 Virage Helmet The N85 is the new full-face street helmet by Nolan fairly small, with a bold, sporty design. The result of accurate volumetric tests, this helmet is equipped with a perfectly integrated sunscreen (VPS) inside the shell. The quick-change/tool-free visor mechanism operates only with the visor in the open position avoiding accidental opening while riding. Features Lightweight aerodynamic polycarbonate shell with built-in spoiler Nolan's VPS (Vision Protection System) actuates internal sun shield Fully removable, washable Clima-Comfort Interior, treated to be anti-fungal and anti-microbial Removable cheek pads Removable chin curtain Dual top vents with exhaust in rear spoiler Chin vents direct air to face shield to help prevent fogging Optically correct, push button quick change shield offers UV400 protection Included Pinlock-ready face shield with clear Pinlock insert Nolan micro lock retention system Meets or exceeds DOT standards

I was considering the Nolan N85 and the Scorpion EXO-1100. The Virage narrowly surpassed the Kranium based on my riding criteria.
The helmet is solid and worthy of "made-in-Italy." The graphic design is brilliant but not too loud. It matches matte black bikes (sport or touring). It fits small and might be tight around the cheeks but there is room to break-in. The N85 provides great vision, being a full-face helmet. It's aerodynamic - drag doesn't increase when I turn my head to look over my shoulder.
The solid sun visor, quick release retention system, N-com-ready are excellent additional features. Some aspects to improve: better noise insulation, better venting and breath deflector (EXO-1100), a built-in ring for the helmet lock.
Great helmet for the price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese Cage Leather Jacket Focus Designed for those in search of a technical article and a sports look with a careful eye on price, this leather jacket offers both elevated protection and ergonomics in the finest Dainese tradition and may be seen as an entry level model thanks to its excellent quality/price ratio. Provided with homologated protectors and back protector/Thorax chest protector pockets, excellent comfort is ensured by the adjustment of collar and side volumes, inserts in Cordura Comfort elasticated fabric, the jacket-pants fastening zip, the 3D Bubble liner and a looser fit than the jackets used more for racing. Features Removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard Cowhide leather Cordura Comfort fabric Inserts in elasticated fabric Adjustments strap on neck Waist adjustment Jacket-trousers fastening system Fixed 3D-Bubble liner air spaces Sanitized lining Pocket for Wave G1 and G2 back protector Pocket for thorax chest protector Reflective inserts 3 outer pockets 2 internal pockets Denoted as the Dainese G. Cage Pelle in Dainese's Catalog Note The video for this product incorrectly states that there is perforated leather along the arms on this jacket. In actuality, while it has a perforated look, it is not punched all the way through and will not ventilate in those areas. Primary ventilation will come through the stretch panels.

I would have given 1 star if the jacket had not been broken in. The material is extremely hard and uncomfortable. This might provide good protection. The fancy arm trim presses hard against the flesh when arms are raised to the riding posture. The arm length fits but chest and arm width is too small. Air flow is also horrible. A typical California winter day still has 3 different mini-seasons; therefore, It's unpractical to wear this jacket out for the whole day. The collar band pinches the skin sometimes during a ride.

What type of weather would suit this jacket?
What type of weather would suit this jacket ? As I am thinking either to get the Dainese Cage Leather Jackett or the Alpinestars GP-R leather jacket. Which one is better from a safety perspective? I would also want a leather jacket that I can use for all seasons from summer right through to winter.
Thanks !
Thanks !
Dainese Cage is only good for cold weather. It's safety features are good for casual rides or daily commutes.
