Installation was fairly easy. Just a matter of taking out some bolts and switching screens. Other than that, it deflects wind a whole lot better than the OEM one, resulting in less fatigue after long rides and making head checks smoother and easier. Not to mention the sleek, gloss black look it adds to an already good-looking bike.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I looked into these gloves after seeing them recommended by RevZilla. I haven't been disappointed. I wear a medium in every other glove and these are no exception. They're comfortable, fit perfectly and feel great.
I've only had one ride with them in the 30*F range and my hands felt fine. None of that numb fingertip feeling I'd become so accustomed to with other gloves that had cost less. The GoreTex becomes really obvious at highway speeds when you'll be able to feel its temperature regulating, breathing ability. Despite the obvious cold, my hands didn't freeze, nor did they overheat as they've done in more airtight material.
Overall, these are amazing gloves that I'd recommend to anyone who lives in anything less than snow, or where heated gear is mandatory.
Yes, I recommend this product.

When I first got these shoes, they were amazing. The toe pad aided my shifting, the ankle padding kept me comfortable, the strap kept my laces out the way and the style meant I could walk around without having to strap on boots every time I rode.
That was then.
I've had the Run With The Bulls Shoes for about 4 months and the sole has worn away to almost nothing. It was hardly there to begin with, as I noticed on one 40min ride and had to continuously move my feet around out of discomfort. I've all but stopped wearing them on anything beyond a short ride down the street.
Take the time to find something a little more durable if you're planning on riding for a while.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The finish on this product is excellent. It looks awesome and still retains its shine 4 months after I bought it. It is a little on the heavier side, so long rides are a little tiring without taking it off on a few stops.
The ventilation works fairly well in Texas heat and I could feel the air moving over my head in 90*F+ temperatures and high humidity. The aerodynamics are well designed and I experience very little to no head wobble, even at highway speeds and above, to include head checks. You may notice, however, that once you hit that 100mph+ range, the helmet tends to compress to your face. I'm not sure whether it's a result of the padding, or the vents, but this is a pretty loud helmet. I get a lot of wind noise and occasional whistling, so it clearly, isn't a race helmet, but for short rides, or commutes, it serves its purpose well.
The clear visor it came with held up well and switching to the silver tint was more of a hassle than it should have been. The system is simple to operate, but I may have obtained one that wasn't machined properly as the left side stuck and wouldn't unlock with anything other than what felt like unnecessary force. The silver reflective face shield looks awesome, but clearly (no pun intended) isn't scratch resistant.
The quick release chin strap is by far my favourite feature and can be operated quickly and easily, even with one hand whilst you're riding, if need be.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this helmet as an entry-level lid for a reasonable price and decent quality. The few issues I had were minor and temporary and easy to overlook.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Sleek appearance and much easier to see at night than a dark smoke face shield. Installation was a little frustrating, though.

In Houston TX, the weather rarely drops below the 45-50. That said, these gloves have held up fairly well at highway speeds. The extra lining makes handling a little different and my fingertips felt a little cold (read: freezing) at "65" mph, but my bike control never wavered. They're extremely comfortable and work as well as they can, given that they're not heated. I'd recommend them to anyone in the southern States, or where ever it doesn't snow.

Yoshimura R-55 Exhaust System Suzuki GSXR 750 / GSXR 600 2008-2010 The R-55 is currently one of Yoshimura's most popular pipes and for good reason. It's a hybrid of MotoGP, Superbike, and Yoshimura style, which makes for a pretty impressive package. It's asymmetrical shape appeals to the eye and really captures the spirit of MotoGP racing. It also complements the look of any sportbike, following the race-inspired lines of today's motorcycles. The R-55 features a straight baffle with a removable low-volume insert. The pipe is TIG-welded to Yoshimura quality standards and constructed from high-quality polished stainless steel. The laser-cut mounting bracket is TIG-welded to ensure strength and good looks. This Full System features the new R-55 muffler with a stainless cap, stainless steel headers and mid-pipe, step-by-step instructions, and all necessary hardware for installation. NOTE Please check local laws before purchasing. Some modifications may be prohibited in some states.
Fuel control modual and/or aftermarket air filter required??
Just would like to know if a fuel control module and/or non stock air filter would be require after installing the full Yoshimura exhaust kit?

Sizing
Hello,
I have large calfs and am looking for a trackday boot with enough space for the pants to fit into comfortably without being to tight. Any recomendations on a few models that are more generous on the calf?
Thanks in advance!

sizing
Just wondering about sizing.
I tried on 9US at my local shop and they will too tight in the toes but felt okay elsewhere.
I then tried 10US which felt too louse around the ankle area.
Would 9.5US fit okay then? my local doesn't carry half sizes.
