Beautifully machined, very robust components. I purchased this lever after a mild tip over breaking the stock lever. Searching eBay for a stock lever replacement netted only people selling them for half of what this lever costs, no thank you!
Very easy to install, just remember to first measure the origional levers push rod before reinstalling on the new lever ( the push rod screws in or out for needed length on the new lever ) .
Why would you trust a inferior, copied part to save a few bucks when you can have these beauties that are American made!

Beautifully machined, robustly built, made in the U.S.A. I purchased a clutch and brake lever set for my monster after a tip over. Easy to install, remember to measure the length of the piston rods of the origional levers before switching them to the new levers.
Nothing negative to add about them, why would you trust copied, inferior, products made in china to save a few bucks.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wanted a riding boot to walk in, so I ordered these thinking that they would lack durability and protection for comfort. I was wrong, the leather is thick and there are plenty of built in reinforcements inside, but they are designed with stretch panels in the correct areas to give enough flex. There is practically no brake-in, another sign of quality. I received these boots the day before riding to Moto Gp, laguna Seca and these were the only boots I wore for two days with no discomfort to speak of.
The size of these boots are may be a half size smaller than my Dainese axial pro new boots. I wear a 47 boot with an insole added because there is not a 46 1/2 . these Night hawk boots in a 47 fit slightly loose without an insole added.
I would recemend these boots for everything but track/ extreme street riding use.

Dainese Shotgun Jacket There is not a more comfortable summer jacket on the market. Pleasurable riding even in the hottest months of the year is the concept behind the new Shotgun Tex jacket that ensures comfortable aeration with numerous openings. Construction in stretch Mugello fabric guarantees a constantly tight and perfect fit while also preventing floating during the ride. The liner provided with silver ion treatment ensures elevated and long-lasting hygiene. Composite protectors on the shoulders and elbows, the pocket for the G-type back protector, and the jacket-pants fastening zipper complete the technical profile of this technical jacket with outstanding performance. Shock Protection Removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard. Abrasion And Tear Resistance Mugello fabric. Boomerang mesh inserts. Nylon mesh inserts. Comfort Adjustment strap on neck. Wrist adjustment. Waist adjustment. Temperature Regulation External fabric with water-resistance treatment. Sanitized lining. Other Features Pocket for Wave G1 / G2 Reflective inserts. 2 outer pockets.

Perfect hot weather jacket

The style, fit, and finish are why I now only wear Dainese, beautiful. I purchased the red( more Honda red than Ducati, which I ride, red color) from reading the previous comments, a little bright but the black on the sleves and sides balances out the red.
Air flows completely thru the jacket, and there is no liner, so this is a hot weather only jacket.
I recommend that you purchase the Dainese Shield air back protector for this jacket for extra safety. It is designed for this jacket because of the mesh design that lets the air flow from the front of the jacket thru the rear without leaving you a sweaty back. The product details says to use the wave G1 or G2 for this jacked, but the jacket also came with a separate pocket just for the larger shield air back protector.
Pros Rugged, Comfortable, Fashionable
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese New Drake Air Textile Pants Drake pants will surely interest anyone who loves to ride his or her bike especially in the warmer months without wearing a suit or leather pants in order to obtain the protection required. These previously contrasting needs have now been perfectly reconciled by Drake fabric pants. Ample air vents in fretted fabric with closing on the thighs permit fresh air to enter during riding for cooling relief on even the hottest days. When temperatures begin to drop, the air vents can be closed. Safety is guaranteed by removable composite protections in the knee and shins, while extra-strength Cordura 750 fabric offers protection in case of fall. The elastic inserts in the knee optimise the wearability of the article, which is equally suited to metropolitan motorcycle use. Features Removable composite protectors. Cordura fabric 750. Suretta fabric. Perforated fabric. Insert in elasticated fabric. Soft inserts. Calf zip. Jacket-trousers fastening system. Adjustable waist. Sanityzed lining.

Fit, finish, and style are excellent. The fit is closer to relaxed fit jeans than bulky over-pants fit like other brands, which also hold the hard knee armor in place better, which is nice. Very light in weight too.
Pros Fashionable, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

This should by the minimum level of hand protection anyone should wear. For me , no more of those cheap MX style summer gloves I never felt safe wearing those fabric/leather summer short gloves for short rides or cruising around town. These gloves are made from butter soft leather with lots of safety features. I also own a pair of the full length race vent gloves and am very satisfied with them.
Very high build quality, proper venting, safety and comfort are the reasons for the five star rating.
Pros Comfortable, Great Value
Yes, I recommend this product.

 Dainese D1 Kevlar Jeans

Dainese D1 Kevlar Jeans Features Pro Shape soft protectors in knees certified to Standard EN 1621.1/97 Denim fabric with Kevlar yarn Internal reinforcements with Kevlar jersey Belt loops 6 outer pockets Reflective details at rear cuff
 

How do the soft knee protectors attach to the pant?

Are they velcro'd? Inserted into a pouch? I would love to get a video review and inside breakdown soon? I really think these are the pants to have this summer. If they can just bring the price down on these things. ;-)
These are heavy duty, beautiful, jeans. The knee padding is a peace of thin honey comb type of soft rubber, Dainese intended the use of these jeans for scooter / urban use, not road racing.

I ordered a size 36 which in regular jeans fits slightly loose, these fit the same in the waist area but, we're still snug at the knee down.

I can fit armored shorts underneath but more knee padding will need a larger size, or I could insert extra padding from my forcefield pads.
