  1. If you own an older bike, chances are you've run into dreaded electrical problems that keep you in while you're friends are out riding. More often than not, if it's not the battery, it's the regulator rectifier. Replacing with OEM parts can be pricey, however a Ricks Motorsport Electrics regulator is a high-quality cost effective OEM replacement. Available from Riders Discount, Ricks includes a 1 year manufacturer warranty. All Ricks Motorsport Electrics regulator rectifiers are brand new, not refurbished, and built to OEM specifications. Most will include an OEM-style plug for an easy plug-n-play replacement. Ricks also has a "Hot Shot" alternative of equivalent models. These are high performance regulator rectifiers made with special Mosfet technology that does not get hot. For more information or if you need to order any other Ricks Motorsport Electrics item, feel free to send MIKE a message through this forum or give him a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804.

  2. The closest we’ll get to feeling like Batman in a jacket from Alpinestars, the Alpinestars Black Shadow Phantom Leather Jacket. A distinctively styled performance riding jacket that integrates tracked tested innovations and Alpinestars’ new shoulder and elbow protection systems into its ergonomically and technically constructed design, the Phantom Leather Jacket offers individualism, luxury, style and ruggedness. A completely murdered out look, all the external sliders are black including a revolutionary new shoulder protection system which features strategically placed, dual-density carbon fiber compound clavicle and shoulder sliders. New elbow protection with dual-density carbon fiber compound elbow sliders on a Silicon-reinforced cup for impact and abrasion resistance and structural integrity. Mild perforations in the front and rear panels as well as along the top of the shoulder. Fit is true to size however this is a very aggressive race cut fit and not intended for mall walking. If you prefer your jackets a bit loose, we recommend going up one size from your normal. Akin to the Alpinestars Atem jacket, the Black Shadow Phantom is a premium leather jacket available from Riders Discount with MSRP at $799.95. Alternatively, check out the Alpinestars Black Shadow Hades and Alpinestars Black Shadow Hunstman for alternative all black leather jackets from Alpinestars.

  4. Braking's top of the line OE replacement SK2 rotors are available from Riders Discount! Available for numerous models, these are a great, affordable upgrade to your braking system. Pictured for the Yamaha R6 Commonly seen on many AMA race bikes and throughout the trackday paddock, take a look at any bike's front rotors and you'll likely see Braking rotors installed. SK2 rotors are directional, please take note during installation. The SK2 rotors are directional because this was found to permit better ventilation during braking and improved the temperature stability, even during racing use. Outer and inner diameter of the disk have a non-round design that enables better radial expansion of the rotor under extreme heat conditions. Moreover piercing holes are replaced by edges specifically designed to grow brake pad regeneration process. If you're interested in these Braking rotors, or looking to upgrade any other part of your brake assembly, shoot MIKE a message through this forum or give him a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804.

  6. The Alpinestars SP-2 Leather glove available from Riders Discount has been revamped for 2014 with fresh styling and enhanced safety and convenience features to meet rider's needs. A superbly styled and anatomically profiled glove for sports or naked bike enthusiasts the SP-2 has a full grain leather chassis incorporating multi-panel reinforcements for abrasion resistance and fit.

  7. An alternative to their Run with the Bulls shoe for men, Speed and Strength has released the Wicked Garden shoe for women. Some riding shoes start out as motorcycle boots and are made into a shoe. The Wicked Garden is the opposite, this is a shoe that is upgraded for riding. This will be just as comfortable as your preferred casual shoe but with upgrades that make this acceptable for riding such as a reinforced toe box, and anti-slip sole. The Wicked Garden shoe also features an "Under Cover" lacing system. If you've ridden or ride in casual shoes, laces getting caught on a peg or lever is a serious concern. Speed and Strength has taken care of that with laces that stay tucked away. Like the shoe but don't like the white? Speed and Strength also offers these in black/purple - Sizing is specific to women, and fit is true to size if not a touch on the small side. One of our Riders Discount ladies who normally wears a W8 commented that it was a little smaller than her normal but still comfortable. Available from Riders Discount, give MIKE a call today at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or shoot him a message through this forum. Is email more convenient?

The Icon Airmada Bioskull helmet fits intermediate oval and true to size based on Icon's size chart.

  9. Completely overhauled for the 2014 season, the Alpinestars GP Pro race suit is completely new with MotoGP technology incorporated into a race bred suit. Race inspired external DFS shoulder and elbow protectors integrated into the leather. Alpinestars has started using this new MotoGP style hump on their 2014 suits. It's a narrower, more contoured profile hump, for improved aero and ventilation. While this is a race fit suit, it's quite possibly the most comfortable race suit we've tried on. This is due to the large accordion stretch inserts on the shoulder blades, and advanced microfiber stretch panel that covers the inner arms, underarms, and across the chest. Available from Riders Discount in black/white/red, black/white/grey, and black/white/hi-viz yellow at MSRP $1195.95. The GP Pro two-piece suit option is available as well in black, and black/white/grey, however it is not perforated. Fit is race cut and fits true to size. For more information, help with sizing, or would like to place an order, send MIKE a message through this forum or give him a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient?

  10. You are welcome! Look forward to hearing from you again soon- Mike.
  11. Two new colors have been have been added to one of Alpinestars top selling suits last year, the Alpinestars Motegi 1 Piece Leather Suit. New for 2014 is a black/white/yellow pictured here, and black/white/red. Same Alpinestars quality and protection that won’t break the bank - that’s quite simply the best way to describe the Alpinestars Motegi suit. The Motegi suit is constructed using 1.3mm full grain leather for maximum abrasion resistance, with the panels held together using sturdy, multiple-stitched seams. One of the features for a suit at this price point is the use of external TPR armor on the shoulders. More armor is found inside, with CE certified BioArmor inside the shoulders, elbows and knees. Those looking for more protection have the option using the three snaps beneath the neck to secure an optional back protector such as the Alpinestars Bionic Air Back Insert, and adding Bionic pads to the pockets in the chest. Alpinestars has also included their feature on the wrist. As with most of their more affordable suits, Alpinestars designed the Motegi with a less aggressive cut than the ultra-aggressive higher end suits, meaning that it is possible to stand up off of the bike without it feeling like a workout. This doesn’t mean that it is any less comfortable on the bike, however. The Motegi features durable Aramidic stretch panels that run down the length of the underarms, sides of the torso, crotch and back of the legs for mobility. Aramidic fiber also breathes very well, which works with the fully perforated front panel to keep feeling fresh. The back of the suit is also designed to keep air moving with a perforated hump and a mesh panel at the neck. If you’re interested the Motegi, or any other Alpinestars product, feel free to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804, or contact him through this forum. Is email more convenient? Feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! Available from Riders Discount in black, black/gold, black/white/yellow (pictured), white, white/black/red, and white/red and MSRP is $799.95. We also have the same Motegi suit available in a two-piece configuration as well.
  12. Take the tried and true Joe Rocket Speedmaster leather suit, cut it in half, and you have a Joe Rocket Speedmaster leather jacket available from Riders Discount. Inside you'll find a removable insulated vest liner with an 8" zipper for pant attachment and belt snap loops to prevent any embarrassment and keep your jacket in place. Also includes a foam back pad, which we recommend you upgrade to your preferred back protector. Check out these back protector solutions. High quality premium leather used throughout with titanium reinforced shoulder armor, and Variable Flow ventilation with integrated injection molded shoulder intake vents. Fit is true to size however, it is an athletic/Euro cut and therefore a little on the slim side. If you have a bit of a belly, we recommend going up one size from your normal. Available in Stealth Black, Cool White (pictured), High Risk Red, and Radio Active Yellow. Note: High Risk Red and Radio Active Yellow are more of a neon/hi-viz color. For more information, or if you'd like to place an order, give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or shoot him a message through this forum. Is email more convenient? Write us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away!

  15. A tank bag from Tour Master that is no ordinary tank bag. What is essentially the top piece of their Tri-Bag tank bag, the Elite 14L Tank Bag from Riders Discount is one of the most versatile luggage accessories we've seen. A well though out, quality piece from Tour Master with more features than imaginable all included in one tank bag. Three compartments, one main compartment and two side compartments, make up the storage options on this bag. The Elite has everything you could ever need from a tank bag and more! From "garages" for zippers so they don't rattle or scratch paint, two ports access holes for media or water bladder hose (not included), a rain cover with a clear window, and back straps to name a few included options. Two small top side quick access pockets can also be switched to a clear map pocket: The GPS compartment can be raised for easier viewing while riding.

  16. The Patrol chassis is ideal for the young new generation adventure touring rider with aspirations for the Dakar rally. Now available from Riders Discount, the Patrol Raiden pants, paired with the Raiden jacket (check out our review on the Icon Patrol Raiden Jacket here), make up a full kit from head to toe keeping you safe, comfortable, and dry in even the most extreme conditions. To keep out the wind and rain, the abrasion resistant nylon chassis is fully seam-sealed and includes full-leg waterproof YKK zippers and quick action magnetic storm flaps. Also note the reflective accents going down the side of the pant leg. Full equipped with Icon CE approved field armor in the knees and hips. While these are built to be over pants and are sized larger than normal, these are still excessively large even over casual pants. We recommend going down one size from your normal. The inseam is no problem however, with adjustable snaps to customize the length to suit your needs. To help keep these pants up, a removable suspender system is also included with every pant and secured via zipper in the back and two snaps in the front. For more information, or if you need help with sizing, give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM.

  18. We've compared four of the top modular helmets available on the market over the past few weeks and have put it all together for you with short summaries on each. We'll briefly go over the pros and cons of the Nolan N104, Shoei Neotec, Bell Revolver Evo, and HJC RPHA Max, and give you our thoughts to help you to make an educated and informed decision on your purchase. What is a modular helmet? A modular helmet is basically the same as a normal street helmet, with the added benefit of a flip up chin bar. Initially popular among the adventure tourers and long distance travelers, you'll find all types of riders wearing these helmets now. The key to their success is the versatility. With the chin bar down, it performs the same as a regular street helmet. With the chin bar up, it makes it easier to put on glasses, is less intimidating to other motorists or gate guards, and easier to read GPS/maps with the chin bar out of the way. Nolan N104 • Fit: Neutral to narrow • Weight: 3 lbs. 13-1/2 oz (L) • Safety: DOT/ECE w/P/J approval P/J approval allows the motorcyclist to ride the vehicle both with open and closed chin guard, in compliance with the current legislation in force. • MSRP $449.95 • Shell: Composite Full Nolan N104 Review Pros: • Build quality is outstanding and what we’ve come to expect from Nolan • Excellent ventilation • The paint and graphic quality is superb for a mass production helmet • Massive eye port for some of the best optics in its class • Aerodynamically efficient even with the chin bar raised • The only one to achieve a rating higher than DOT • Pinlock ready shield and Pinlock fog-free insert included Cons: • The internal sun visor is spring loaded with only up or down, there is no in between. Also, the nose cutout is a bit overdone and can be distracting. • With excellent ventilation comes noise. The N104 is fairly loud at speed. • Uses a “microlock” chin strap. It works and has passed all safety tests, but some riders may prefer the tried and true standard D-ring retainer. Overall: The Nolan N104 is a massive step up from the ever popular N90 and N103 modular helmets. It's obvious Nolan has developed the N104 from years of knowledge in building previous modular helmets. With the only modular helmet we reviewed to achieve an ECE rating, the N104 can be considered the safest of them all. Shoei Neotec • Fit: Neutral • Weight: 3 lbs. 15-7/8 oz (L) • Safety: DOT • MSRP $648.99 solid/$662.99 metallic • Shell: AIM multi-composite Full Shoei Neotec Review Pros: • The perfect modular flip-up helmet. The Neotec includes everything one would require of a modular helmet and more • Easiest internal sun visor shield operation of the bunch with a shield that encompasses the rider’s field of vision for no distractions while down • Shoei quality. Can’t go wrong with a Shoei branded helmet • Outstanding ventilation while still keeping internal noise levels to a minimum • The Neotec includes a Pinlock Fog Resistant shield and clear Pinlock insert • Five year warranty included Cons: • With perfection comes a price - this is the most expensive of the four reviewed • At a hair under 4 lbs, the weight of the helmet becomes noticeable when compared with the others while riding Overall: There’s no question you could buy two or three cheaper helmets for the same price as the Neotec, but will you be as satisfied with the build quality and features? That’s up to you. HJC RPHA-Max • Fit: Slightly Narrow • Weight: 3 lbs. 9-1/8 oz (L) • Safety: DOT • MSRP $459.99 solid, $464.99 metallic/matte, $499.99 (Align graphic) • Shell: Composite – Carbon Fiber, Aramid, Fiberglass, Organic non-woven fabric Full HJC RPHA-Max Review Pros: • The lightest modular helmet we reviewed. Saves weight with a single pivot point for both the flip up chin bar and external shield and carbon composite shell • Three shell sizes give the helmet excellent proportions. A small head size isn't going to be stuffing their head into 30mm of padding. • Carry over technology from the RPHA10 developed on track resulting in premium build quality, ventilation, and aerodynamics • Ventilation is quite good while staying relatively quiet with extensive wind tunnel testing Cons: • The HJC Symax 3 is still available, and much cheaper • Does not include HJC’s RapidFire shield removal system and the new way is not as refined • Center shield lock is harder to use with thick winter/heated gloves Overall: A quality lid from HJC and steps up to the plate against the tried and true Nolan N series modular helmets. However, perhaps it’s worst competition is it’s older brother, the Symax 3, a cheaper modular helmet by HJC. But put them on one after the other, and it’s clear the RPHA-Max is far superior in every way and worth the extra pennies, it’s just hard to see that on a computer screen. Bell Revolver Evo • Fit: Intermediate Oval • Weight: 3 lbs. 14 oz (L) • Safety: DOT • MSRP $199.95 • Shell: Polycarbonate Full Bell Revolver Evo Review Pros: • Reuses same external shield seen on the Star, RS-1, and Vortex so you can use Bell’s popular transition shield • Five year warranty included • Bell exclusive Magnefusion magnetic strap keeper • Integrated speaker pockets • Extremely stable at speed Cons: • Modular mechanism isn’t as refined as the more expensive models • One of the noisiest helmets we reviewed in comparison to the others • Only one of the four to use a polycarbonate shell Overall: With the initial Revolver being Bell’s first step into the modular helmet market in 2011, the Bell Revolver Evo is a refresh of the original fixing key customer issues. At a price that doesn’t break the bank, the Revolver is a decent helmet. However, while you will get a solid helmet, you won’t get the refined and developed modular features that you would with the other brands that have been in the modular market longer. Tell us what you think in a post below! If you'd like to place an order for any one of these helmets, or would like more information, feel free to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or shoot him a message through this forum.

  20. Leather or textile pants don't always look appropriate in every situation. Luckily, there are denim riding pant options available such as the Alpinestars Ablaze Tech Denim Jeans available from Riders Discount. With twin-stitched main seams and interior Kevlar reinforcement, the Ablaze Tech Denim is a hard-wearing and durable technical jean incorporating a versatile knee protection system to enable customization for differing leg lengths. Cut for comfort, on and off the bike, these jeans feature an anatomically optimized pre-shaped leg construction. Regular/comfort cut 12oz stonewashed-effect denim for a fashionable and long-lasting fit. Available with an MSRP of $199.95 in waist sizes 28-40" with a waist fit that is true to size, the inseam is constant through the entire range at ~32 inches. Interior reinforcement made with DuPont KEVLAR fiber in seat, hip and knee areas offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance in impact critical areas. Not every body is the same. So, Alpinestars' internal knee compartment allows adjustment of the CE-certified knee protection to fit various leg lengths. Removable 5mm hip pad protectors with Velcro attachments for secure, safe fit. Customized detailing on metal YKK zip, buttons and rivets. Astars leather belt patch and leather logos on front and rear. You can get expert sizing advice and more information about ordering by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient?
