AGV AX-8 DS EVO Helmet Brand new for fall 2011, the AGV AX-8 DS EVO Helmet takes one of the most high-end and lightweight dualsport helmets on the market (AX-8 DS) and makes some significant upgrades. The design and the line inevitably recall the AX-8 Model from which it is derived, but additional technical features like the visor and the specific visor mechanism, the chin air vent that can be opened, and the open-able supplementary ventilation on the top guarantee all the performance and comfort of a road model. New internal padding with increased thickness for improved comfort and greater stability in professional use. New shape of the outer shell in the chin area which, combined with a wider and softer base edge compared to the previous model, reduces interference with any back protector used and decreases risks of impact traumas, thanks to its shock-absorber function. Features SSL (Super Super Light) carbon, Kevlar and fiberglass shell construction IVS (Integrated Ventilation System) funnels air though channels in the outer shell New flat dual face shield in non-scratch, antifog polycarbonate Dry-Lex internal padding with sanitized treatment Removable and washable cheekpads and internal lining Outer aluminum peak screws 3 shell sizes DOT and ECE 22.05 Certified

This DS helmet has very soft and comfortable liner fabric, looks fantastic, and is probably one of the lightest of its class.
I use this on my Moto Guzzi Stelvio and unfortunately the turbulence off the top of the windshield causes the "beak" to vibrate madly at highway speeds. If I take the windshield off the bike or the beak off the helmet, it's fine.
This helmet can also be used with goggles (I use Scott 87 OTG goggles), but the shield must be removed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

If you're looking for a pair of goggles that's purpose-built for glasses wearers, this is a good choice. Overall rather average goggles, but the over-the-glasses (hence OTG) fit is excellent.
Note that the goggles are significantly larger than most non-OTG goggles, so they may not fit perfectly on some helmets. I use these with a Bell Moto 9 and an AGV AX-8 DS and they fit well on both.
I'd like to see some tinted lenses available.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Michelin Pilot Road 3 Trail Tires Building on the tremendous reputation Michelin has built over the years, the Michelin Pilot Road 3 Tire is the successor to the award winning Pilot Road 2. With the Michelin Pilot Road 3 Motorcycle Tire you are really getting 2 tires in 1, by integrating a soft rubber compound on the tread shoulders with a wear-resistant compound down the middle, Michelin gives you the best of both worlds. The Pilot Road 3 is a dual compound sport-touring radial tire. X-Sipe Technology for adventure touring bikes For trail bikes ridden primarily on the road All-season grip and outstanding mileage for adventure bikes like the BMW GS, Triumph Tiger 800 and Suzuki V-Strom X-Sipe Technology Drains water away from the contact patch, while breaking through water film on the road 2 Compound Technology For optimized wear, the 2CT compound distribution on the rear tire has been adapted specifically for trail bikes Soft compound on the shoulders for cornering grip, harder compound in the center for durability Note The Trail version of the Pilot Road 3 tire is designed specifically for large, ADV bikes that are ridden solely on the road. They have a different compound makeup than the standard Pilot Road 3 Tires .
 

Will this tire be okay putting a tube in it? I have a 02 tiger with spoked rims.

Yes.

What Faceshields are available?

What smoked or other faceshields are available? Do the shields from the N43 fit the N43E?
Same faceshields for the N43E and the N43. RevZilla sells them here: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nolan-n43n43e-trilogy-face-shield
