You guys and gals seriously need to reach out before you spend money on your bikes.  On 99% of things I can get you a deal.

You can easily ditch the weight, the quiet … and especially, all of the heat emanating from the big Kawi’s stock exhaust system but placing this muffler on your bike. Then, of course – there’s the performance potential that comes with that of a free-flowing exhaust.

You’ll take more than ten pounds of mass off your bike, right away, thanks to a combination of titanium and carbon fiber materials that are precisely assembled in a smart, durable manner. It’s well thought-out exhaust using only the absolute necessities, from the titanium inlet to the carbon fiber outlet, all of which is held in place by a nifty carbon fiber muffler bracket.

For the truly performance-minded rider, an oxygen sensor bung is fitted as standard allowing maximum tuning possibilities with the appropriate hardware (TJ can tell you all about that!). It’s just another piece of this awesome exhaust the will help you get the most out of your ZX-10R.

Each muffler ships with all required installation hardware and easy-to-follow instructions.

To order yours, call TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817, send a PM here or email forum@ridersdiscount.com and we’ll get back to you right away!

They do clamp around the bar.  CRG also offers the internal adapter that uses an aluminum wedge to hold it inside the bar if you don't have space around the bar itself (it shouldn't move like a rubber bushing)

Made by the world famous CRG lever company, Arrow bar end mirrors provide a sleek, refined look to any motorcycle. Modern styling in a unit that’s made using 28 pieces of perfectly-shaped aluminum, stainless steel hardware and glass, all you need is 10mm of space on the end of your 7/8” handlebar or clip-on bar to find a home for this mirror.

Looking at the mirror assembly closely, you’ll come to appreciate the quality of the American-made parts. Machining of the anodized aluminum at its edges is exquisite, and the tool path marks on the brackets provide a unique, rugged appearance.

The reflective glass surface measures approximately 4” across at its widest point on the X-axis, and 2-1/4” at its widest on the Y-axis. Correctly positioned, it’ll provide amble rear-viewing out on the road.

Arrow mirrors are sold individually, so you can go with a single-sided or dual configuration – the choice is yours. Each kit comes with a clamp for 7/8” handlebars, and for custom bike builders, adapters can be had for fitting the mirror on 1” handlebars as well.

If you have any questions or would like to order please contact TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817 or email forum@ridersdiscount.com with CRG ARROW MIRRORS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away!

The fully perforated suit makes those hot muggy days at much more bearable.

There is a not a better suit on the market for the money. Great suit to be had!

This is a good shot showing all of the ventilation in the back and side of this suit.

HJC’s top street-going helmet, the RPHA 11 Pro gives you everything you need for a safe, comfortable ride wherever you go. This helmet was engineered from the cheekpads up to be a premier lid worthy of use on some of the world’s fastest riders.

A reinforced carbon and carbon-glass hybrid fiber shell provides the shape of the helmet in which your head is protected from all angles. It’s light, strong and designed to disperse impact energy over larger area so less energy is transferred to the user. Directly below this is an ergonomically-shaped EPS liner that’s covered on the rider’s side by a fully-removable Multicool interior liner. This liner is treated in a way that does two things; first, it pulls moisture away from the body, keeping you cool and dry. Secondly, you have to deal with all of that moisture somehow, and you don’t want it to be a nice home for bacteria to grow. To look after the smell that comes with bacteria, the liner is treated with a material that prevents microbes from stinking up the liner.

Outside of the helmet, you’ll find one of the easiest visor changing mechanisms we’ve ever encountered. It takes literally five seconds to change shields. If you can ride bikes, you can change this shield, easily. At the front of shield, there’s a push button tab that locks the visor down securely at all speeds. It allows you to easily crack the visor as well, for a little extra cooling capacity when you need. And best of all, every helmet ships with both, a clear visor and a smoke shield in the box. There’s no need to add that item to your order!

Outside of the shell, HJC engineers fitted a range of intakes and exhaust ports to move air over the skull while you ride. Check and forward-facing intakes can all be adjusted easily with a gloved hand. And for the cool-weather rider, a removable chin skirt is also included with the RPHA 11 Pro helmet. It’s a really nice touch that allows you to stay comfortable in a wide range of riding conditions.

Available in  a range of sizes, give TJ a call for exceptional sizing guidance and lightning fast shipping. 866.931.644 ext 817 is the number. You can also send a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com with HJC RPHA CHAKRI Helmet in the subject line or PM us right here so we can get you dialed in.

Inspired by the Marvel Series, the Venom II helmet is one of the coolest designs we’ve seen from HJC! Painted on the RPHA 11 Pro series helmet, there’s nothing but good looks here.

I'm sorry but I do not understand your question.  "how can I hold my battery backup long"

Are you asking how you can make your battery last longer?   If you have a lithium battery it will last longer by maintaining it with a balance charger.  Do not discharge the battery as you can damage the cells.

Always moving forward, GP Pro gloves from Alpinestars are now on their third iteration of their most popular road and race motorcycle gloves.  This race-proven glove gives you all of the meat with none of the fat. It’s a refined glove that’s ready-made for the most discerning of riders.  We say refined because it’s difficult to improve upon what is arguably one of the most comfortable gloves you can find on the market today, so let’s go over the details.

Starting in the knuckles, the hard armor that was placed on the proximal phalanges is gone. Instead, flexible accordion sashes are put in their place. The armor is now moved onto the distal phalanges where it’s more likely to come into contact with pavement in the event of a fall. Furthermore, an extra layer of leather covers these areas to enhance abrasion resistance.

New model on the left and the older model on the right.

Further on the back of the hand, the perforated leather is now gone. In its place is another set of accordion-sewn leather to enhance flexibility while you roll on the throttle. While some may question the decision to remove the vent and perforated leather, the difference in cooling capacity will go unnoticed, in part, because the thumb now features a perforated leather segment on the side that doesn’t face the grip.

Moving onto the palm-side of the gloves, the differences are yet more subtle, but the improvements are clear. A careful selection of high-quality kangaroo, bovine and goat leather is affixed here, each serving a unique purpose. On the pinkie-side of the glove, an extra swatch of leather runs from the tip of the finder all the way back to the hook-and-loop color covering. It’s further aided by a DFS plastic insert. This arear typically gets beat up the most in a crash, so the material is a clever addition that doesn’t inhibit front end feel. The high-wear areas are covered by an extra sash of leather and you’ll also notice that the stitching interface between the palm-facing part of the finders and their sides is a little beefier than in years past.

New model on the left and the older model on the right.

Inside the gloves, a larger Aramidic fiber lining is used for added durability in vulnerable areas on the back of the hand as well as common crash landing zones.

These subtle differences make up what is clearly a continual evolution of a race-proven design from the venerable Italian company. You get enhanced durability, crash protection and especially, more comfort when compared to the previous variants of the GP Pro glove!

Alpinestars GP Pro R3 gloves are available in several colors. Take advantage of expert sizing advice by sending us a PM or a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com with ALPINESTARS GP PRO GLOVES in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.  You can also call TJ at 866-931-6644 ext 817.

Doing my best

An exceptional tradeoff between durability and longevity, Driven Racing produces a wide range of Evo-Spec 520 steel rear sprockets that look the business and usually outlast the stock rear sprocket.

Each sprocket starts with stainless steel that is then carefully machined not only for perfect flatness, but also, so that each tooth matches every link on your 520 chain. Wherever safely possible, additional material is removed on the sprocket’s surface to reduce unsprung weight as much as possible. In many cases, though it is an all-steel rear sprocket, the unit itself is surprisingly light.

Once machining is completed, the sprocket is then black zinc finished for long-lasting good looks and also, reduced friction at the chain/sprocket interface. And finally, a part number is laser-etched in each chainwheel so there’s absolutely no confusion as to what sprocket you’re putting on your bike.

About the only thing you’ll want to do is match the Evo-Spec rear sprocket with a Driven countershaft sprocket. All the features you find in the Evo-Spec rear sprocket are the same for the front item, right down to the material and finish used.

And don’t forget to take advantage of our awesome D.I.D chain special when ordering your sprockets. Having replaced all three driveline items on your bike, you can expect exceptional longevity!

We have these sprockets available in a 520 pitch for a wide range of late-model fast bikes. To get yours, give TJ a call on 866.931.6644 ext 817, send a PM or just email us with DRIVEN STEEL SPROCKETS in the subject line along with the make, year and model of your machine. And of course, please be sure to specify the tooth count you’d like or just tell us about your riding needs and we’ll get you perfectly geared up!

Just making sure you know everything we carry

Classic good looks in an all-American made design, the Hindsight Mirror from CRG add exceptional styling to your motorcycle in an easy-to-install design.

Each mirror is fabricated using a combination of anodized aluminum allow parts, stainless steel hardware and a 3” diameter convex glass rearview mirror. It’s all assembled in an elegant package that looks good on any bike. All you need is 10mm of space on the end of your 7/8” handlebar to make room for the aluminum clamp. No other special hardware is required.

Once installed, simply adjust the mirror so it’s in the right position for your viewing needs and hit the road. You’ll find the convex mirror provides just enough magnification, despite its lithe size.

Hindsight mirrors are sold individually, so you can go with a single-sided or dual configuration – the choice is yours. Each kit comes with a clamp for 7/8” handlebars, and for custom bike builders, adapters can be had for fitting the mirror on 1” handlebars as well.

To choose your mirror from a range of colors: black, silver, red, gold or blue, call TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817 or email forum@ridersdiscount.com with CRG HINDSIGHT MIRRORS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away!

Partner those sprockets up with the DID ERV3 chain that we have on special right now.

Yeah those are getting a little long in the tooth.   

Good looking bike.  I spent a lot of time working on those Triumphs.

If you’ve cracked open a motorcycle magazine in the last few years … wait, no – if you’ve visited a motorcycle magazine website in the last few years, then you’ve seen more and more ramblings about lithium iron phosphate motorcycle batteries. Aftermarket options are becoming more numerous as time passes, all with their own positives and negatives, to make a physics joke, that is.

Antigravity took a look at one of the most challenging aspects (the big negative, haha!) of LiFeO4 batteries, the point of no return low-voltage state. That is, without manufacturer-specific charging equipment, once a lithium motorcycle battery falls below a certain voltage, it’s not possible to re-charge it using an over-the-counter powersports-type lithium battery charger. The battery either has to be sent back to the manufacturer to be re-charged or properly disposed of. While this usually isn’t a problem for most users, it can become an issue if your bike’s charging system fails, or you leave your bike with an unknown parasitic electrical drain sitting for too long without a charge.

Conversely, over-charging a lithium ion battery can be just bad, which is why anti-sulfation-type trickle chargers are a big no-no. A non-functioning regulator on your machine that’s delivering excess voltage through the charging system on your bike can also cause the same problem, unbeknownst to you while you ride along.

“What can we do to prevent that problem?” asked the engineers at Antigravity.

The solution is the RE-START series of batteries from Antigravity. Each unit is built with additional features that not only prevent the low-voltage state but also mitigate the worry of over-charging. It’s the first battery with its own built-in Battery Management System (BMS). This circuitry monitors input and output voltage to prevent a dead battery. There’s even a built-in sleep function that, when parasitic drain from electrical accessories on your machine would have otherwise completely drained your battery - it disconnects itself from the charging circuit with enough remaining voltage to start your machine then next time out.

That is, if you ever find your RE-START-equipped machine with a flat battery, just press the restart button on the battery’s chassis and starting voltage is restored allowing you to hit the road without having to fuss with jumper cables, let alone wait for someone else to come along for the jump.

All that, and the BMS system insures the battery’s internal cells are balanced whenever incoming power is present. This makes it possible to carry the maximum safe charge to give you maximum cranking amps the next time you thumb the starter button.

And if that’s not enough, the advantages of a smaller, lighter battery are always a nice touch too. In fact, all of these features would be excellent on a lead-acid item, but they can only be found here.

To get one of these high-tech, reliable batteries to fit your bike, call TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817, send an email to Forum@RidersDiscount.com or PM us right here; however you do it, please be sure to let us know exactly what machine it is that you’re riding by make, year, and model so we can get you set up right!

We ride and race in the rain. This isn’t NASCAR! If you’re getting out on the track in a fully-perforated suit when the skies have opened up, you’ll be a soggy, sorry mess when you get back to the pits. Don’t get lambasted by liquid again, add an Alpinestars Racing Rain Jacket to your track-bound loadout.

Each waterproof jacket is perfectly shaped to go over your leather suit, there’s even a provision for the hump. And, being that it’s an Alpinestars item, you’ll find it easy to get in and out of thanks to carefully-placed stretch panels and zippers. Just open it up, slide your arms in, bring around the crotch flap, which keeps the whole affair from flapping in the wind - zip it up and get out on the track.

Fabricated using 2mm waterproof material, all seams are taped and sealed to keep the water from reaching your leathers. After the first time you use it in a rainstorm, you’ll wonder how you got along without it all these years!

To be sure of a perfect fit, give TJ a call on 866.931.6644 ext 817 for expert guidance. Or, just send a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com with ALPINESTARS RAIN JACKET in the subject line and we’ll get back to you promptly.

I absolutely love these sprockets.

So do I.  Great durability and strength.

Since inception, Renthal has engineered exceptionally well-made parts for motorcycles of all kinds. Their hard-anodized rear sprockets along with case-hardened front sprockets are no exception. Each component is manufactured for perfect concentricity, that is – roundness, for the most efficient power transfer possible.

Rear sprockets are fabricated using 7075 series aluminum for strength and increased longevity over lesser metals used by some other manufacturers. This harder aluminum is more difficult to manufacturer, but along with Renthal’s hard-anodizing process, wear resistance is further increased.

Front sprockets are built using a proprietary nickel-chrome-molybdenum steel are then case hardened (another not-inexpensive process) for long-lasting durability. And of course, each sprocket is engineered for your exact application. As with the rear sprocket, you get a well thought out sprocket that has been employed to win world championships by various factory race teams for many, many years!

Available in 520, 525 and 530 chain pitches for most machines, we recommend ordering both front and rear sprockets at the same time so as to

And don’t forget to take advantage of our killer D.I.D ERV3 X-Ring 520 chain offer. You’d already be halfway there replacing your sprockets, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to go the whole hog and get it all done in one go.

 To order yours, call us on 866.931.6644 ext 817, send a note to TJ via email; forum@ridersdiscount.com or just send a PM right here along with the exact model and year of your machine, along with the tooth counts you need and we’ll get back to you right away!

If the question is to me, I'm not sure I understand.  Could you restate it differently?

Thanks for jumping in with the info.  Alax should probably drop us a PM if he has questions on the battery.
