  1. No longer will you have to search for towels, brake fluid, oil or cleaning supplies with a 5 Star Cabinet from Blingstar installed in your motorcycle trailer! Blingstar makes a wide variety of trailer storage accessories that are designed to make life easier at the track (or the garage) and the 5 Star Cabinet is perfectly suited for the task. Measuring 34” tall, 25” wide and 5.25” deep, we have found that this cabinet has plenty of space for all the usual motorcycle-related consumables with room to spare. The wall-mount cabinet’s chassis is fabricated entirely from aluminum that is welded together and includes provisions for attaching it to your trailer – or any flat vertical surface, with the hardware of your choice. The durable cabinet also features a fold-out work table and a shop towel rack at the very bottom which makes it perfect for quickly cleaning parts between sessions on the track. Best of all, this cabinet is suitable in any work environment like the garage or the basement too!

    Blingstar trailer accessories are not yet available on our website. For more information, call Mike at 866.931.6644 x 804 or send a note to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with 5 STAR TRAILER STORAGE CABINET in the subject line and he’ll get back to you right away.

    The Blingstar 5 Star motorcycle trailer storage cabinet is ready to mount as it comes out of the box.

    bling_star_five_star_cabinet_trailer_accessory-1.jpg

    A simple spring-loaded friction mechanism is employed to keep two rolls of shop towels from unwinding themselves all over the place. This also makes pulling out just the right length of towel for your needs easy.

    bling_star_five_star_cabinet_trailer_accessory-3.jpg

    A deployable workstation, which measures 19.5” deep - is included as standard with the 5 Star cabinet. When it’s not in use, a spring-loaded tab locks it up and out of the way.

    bling_star_five_star_cabinet_trailer_accessory-4.jpg

    Unlike some ready-made trailer cabinets we’ve seen, the Blingstar 5 Star’s shelves are tall enough to accommodate outsize cargo like the jug of Motul you see on the middle rack. This smart layout makes it perfect for use at home or in the trailer.

  2. This simple kit includes everything you need for attaching a brake fluid reservoir to your Brembo RCS master cylinder – or any other brake master cylinder. A lightweight aluminum bracket is used to attach the fluid reservoir to the master’s clamp for less clutter at the controls and a simple, clean installation.

    Installation takes less than five minutes on any master cylinder that has a vertical split where it mounts to your bike’s clip-ons.

    brembo_brake_fluid_reservoir-1.jpg

    No special tools required for installation.

    brembo_brake_fluid_reservoir-2.jpg

    The fluid reservoir’s spigot is located on the bottom, reducing the risk of air being drawn into the brake system when fluid levels become low.

    brembo_brake_fluid_reservoir-3.jpg

    Often, using the OEM brake fluid reservoir can be a pain when installing an aftermarket brake master cylinder like this one from Brembo. This kit simplifies life and gives your bike a trick look too!

  3. Brembo Radial Master Cylinders are found on the fastest bikes in the world because they’re powerful, reliable and built to exacting tolerances for consistent performance under a wide range of conditions. Brembo’s 19 RCS master cylinder is no exception. It offers the unique ability to change brake lever ratios from 19x20 (for power) to 19x18 (for feel) with a simple turn of the screw, something not possible on other Brembo brake master cylinders. The 19 RCS is manufactured using a combination of forge-casting and CNC-machining. Forged parts have a particular advantage over parts machined from billet when it comes to strength since the metal’s grain structure follows closely the shape of the part as it is pressed into its final form. After forging, the aluminum master cylinder blank is then machined to accept all of its hardware: banjo bolt, brake reservoir spigot, lever attachment and – most critical, the brake piston assembly. This multi-stage manufacturing process ensures both strength, through the forging process and precision via CNC finishing - both of which contribute to the master cylinder’s consistent, exacting performance that has made it the “must have” brake upgrade component.

    Every Brembo 19 RCS master cylinder comes complete with a break-away lever for crash survivability, a dual-line banjo bolt and a micro-switch controller for street applications allowing you to activate the rear brake light without the need to buy a separate pressure-sensitive banjo bolt switch.

    We do not yet have Brembo Brakes on our website. Call Mike at 866.931.6644 ext 804 to order your Brembo 19 RCS master cylinder today. You can also email us with any questions you have – send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with BREMBO RCS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you fast.

    Everything as it comes straight out of the box: 19RCS master cylinder, brake light micro switch, dual-line banjo bolt, stickers and instructions.

    brake_master_cylinder_brembo_rcs_19_7.jpg

    Folding levers used to be only the domain of factory teams, now they’re included as standard with every RCS master cylinder.

    brake_master_cylinder_brembo_rcs_19_5.jpg

    A screw behind the rubber cap on the lever allows you to easily switch from 19x20 to 19x18 lever ratios.

    brake_master_cylinder_brembo_rcs_19_1.jpg

    Further aiding in safety is the color-coded cam assembly. When viewed from the top, if you see red, you know you’re using a 19x18 ratio. If you see black, you’re at 19x20.

  6. More than just a hydration pack, the Ogio Dakar 1950 provides riders with an excellent backpack for city streets or the highway. The chassis is fabricated with a combination of modern fabrics to produce an extremely durable (lifetime warranty!) and light bag with 1,950 cubic inches of storage space. There’s enough room for a 15” laptop, a textbook, keys, wallet and other materials you may need for a trip across town. Inside the bag you’ll find several compartments for organizing your gear along with an audio port through the top of the bag so you can jam with your favorite tunes as you wander the earth. Of course, for hot days, Ogio’s easy to use hydration pack is included as standard with a two liter fluid capacity to keep your thirst at bay. A fully adjustable harness system allows you to customize this motorcycle gear bag to go along with whatever you’re wearing, from t-shirts to full leather jackets - quickly and easily. And, when the weather makes a turn for the worse, you can protect your goods with the included rain hood that covers the entire bag to prevent water intrusion.

    For more information, call Mike at 866.931.6644 x 804 or send a note to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with OGIO DAKAR MOTORCYCLE BACKPACK in the subject line and he’ll get back to you right away.

    The Dakar 1950 comes in Stealth (shown) or Grangler color schemes.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_1.jpg

    The fully-adjustable shoulder straps include an adjustable sternum strap to keep the bag perfectly situated against your back as you ride. Also note the hydration port which exits its compartment through a clever sleeve design.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_2.jpg

    Ogio’s Hydration Reservoir is one of the sleekest in the business. It’s easy to fill and easy to clean thanks to a clever sliding latch at the top of the bag. You can easily fit your entire hand all the way inside when servicing the hydration pack.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_3.jpg

    The main compartment is large with room for books, clothing or whatever else you need to take with you.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_4.jpg

    A rain cover is easily stored in the bottom-most pocket.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_9.jpg

    Ample consideration was given to the rain cover so you will easily be able to protect your goods no matter how the bag is loaded.

    ogio_dakar_1950_hydration_backpack_black_8.jpg

    As can be expected from anything with a lifetime warranty, the Dakar 1950 bag is well-made and ready for the road.

  7. Serious riders need as much armor as they can get, and the Action Shorts from Forcefield answer the call by providing additional protection in areas where traditional leather suits - and even other aftermarket armor, leave something to be desired in the hips, thighs and coccyx. These areas are particularly vulnerable as they’re rarely covered by much more than thin foam in the best cases. Forcefield Action armored riding shorts come equipped with SEVEN separate pieces of armor, all of which incorporate Nitrex shock absorption technology. This fantastic armor is CE-certified for impact absorption and, because it’s based on the same material used in Forcefield back protectors, it has not only outstanding performance, but also excellent comfort.

    Because seven separate pieces of armor are employed, flexibility is not compromised which, in turn, allows the rider uninhibited movement about the bike. Furthermore, each piece of the Forcefield Armor is made up of separate layers of different densities stacked on top of each other - not glued together like other impact armor, which allows each piece to quickly mold itself against the body in addition to its inherent flexibility. Breathability is looked after too, with each piece of armor allowing air to pass through a triangular grid which also reduces overall weight too. The BeCool chassis that houses each piece of removable armor also aids in cooling as it has a greater diffusive area than standard fabrics. This soft material is sewn together with flat seams so it won’t chafe skin as it comfortably holds the armor in the correct position.

    Action shorts are also available in two styles: Sport Armour and Pro Armour. We recommend the Pro Armour Action Shorts for maximum protection as these have an extra layer of or impact-absorbing Nitrex on each piece of armor. The Sport Armour, by virtue of being thinner, is slightly more flexible and is perfect for riders that want to upgrade their suit’s lower body protection but don’t have much room to do so.

    To provide maximum protection, Forcefield Action Shorts are available in different sizes. For more information, call Mike at 866.931.6644 ext 804 or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with FORCEFIELD ACTION SHORTS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.

    Forcefield Action Shorts have seven separate pieces of Nitrex armor that cover the thighs, hips, butt and coccyx in a flexible, comfortable design.

    forcefield_armour_pro_action_shorts_1.jpg

    Here is a look at the Action Shorts from the rear.

    forcefield_armour_pro_action_shorts_2.jpg

    Each piece of CE-certified armor can be easily removed from the shorts when they need to go in the wash.

    forcefield_armour_pro_action_shorts_3.jpg

    Forcefield armor is clearly labeled for position and orientation so you won’t mix it up when the replacing them after washing your shorts. Also, notice the triangular holes which allow skin to breathe through the armor.

    forcefield_armour_pro_action_shorts_4.jpg

    Because the armor used in Forcefield’s Action Shorts is not entirely glued together, it’s very flexible and consequently, very comfortable.

    forcefield_armour_pro_action_shorts_5.jpg

    Forcefield Action Shorts are a must-have accessory for any rider that’s serious about their safety on the track.

  10. The MX-1’s removable interior liner makes it easy to get into (or out of!) the suit thanks to its breathable mesh design. But it does more than that. First, extra foam padding has been sewn into the sides of the upper arms and at the hips to further enhance the already excellent impact absorption technology of the MX-1 suit. Second, the liner makes the suit incredibly comfortable for the wearer because, if you notice in the picture below – seams are sewn on the outside of the liner. This makes the surface nearly flat on the inside of the liner so there are no hot spots against the wearer. Third, by using smooth stretch material in the arms, inside the thighs and around the knees – movement is much, much easier for the wearer. And fourth, the mesh liner aids in the already well-thought-out ventilation scheme of the suit by standing the leather off of the skin and permitting cooling air to get to and move around the wearer while at speed.

    We recommend that this liner be used in conjunction with an undersuit like Alpinestars Tech Race for the most amount of movement and comfort possible. As for the zip-out liner itself, while it’s not the prettiest thing, its contribution towards making the MX-1 suit comfortable and highly protective cannot be overstated.

  12. Armor is another critical area in which the MX-1 suit excels with CE-certified units mounted in all of the right places. Each piece of armor is designed to comfortably articulate with the wearer as he moves about the bike. Armor that covers a critical joint like the elbow, knee/shin or shoulder is made to be large for a wider swath of protective impact coverage. Take for example this piece of elbow armor - it also protects a large area of the forearm. Notice the cutouts within the armor itself, these are designed to allow the wearer to move freely when on the bike with no bunching that would otherwise inhibit movement and possibly distract the rider.

    alpinestars_mx_1_leather_suit_detail_1.jpg

    Knees and shins are looked after in a slightly different manner than the armor in other suits we’ve seen with two pieces covering this area. This arrangement not only permits exceptional ease of movement, but also provides extra coverage around the shin and knee. Since riders rarely fall flat on their chests when leaving the bike unexpectedly, the extra wide coverage protects from side impacts too. Furthermore, each piece of armor is perforated for comfort on the hard outer surface while channels are molded into the soft inner liner that faces the rider. All of these features combine to provide a comfortable, yet very protective suit for the trackday rider or racer.

    alpinestars_mx_1_leather_suit_detail_6.jpg

    In addition to the standard armor arrangements noted above, the Alpinestars MX-1 suit also uses soft foam armor in a pair of chest compartments. For riders that already have a chest protector, these may be removed – or they can be upgraded with a pair Alpinestars Bionic Chest Pads for added front impact protection.

    alpinestars_mx_1_leather_suit_detail_2.jpg

    You’ll also find additional soft armor inserted into various areas of the suit, like these pads on the sides of the abdomen. It just goes to show that Alpinestars is serious about providing real protection for the serious rider.

    alpinestars_mx_1_suit_black_11.jpg

    Best of all, if you don’t already have a Level 2 back protector, the MX-1 comes standard with a Bionic Race back protector which can be used with this – or any piece of motorcycle riding gear you have. For the rider that prefers convenience, a three-position snap-lock interface between the back protector and the leathers easily allows this piece of armor to be firmly positioned within the suit for maximum protection and comfort.

    ogio_9800_limited_edition_white_stripes_bag_5.jpg

    Alpinestars focused on designing the MX-1 suit specifically for track riders. With that in mind, ventilation was addressed to meet the needs of a rider at high speed while eliminating areas that are less effective on a racing motorcycle. The MX-1 is perforated in all the right areas for the rider in a racing position; either in full tuck or when hanging off the bike. The suit takes advantage of air passing by the sides and above the rider – where bodywork does not block or otherwise inhibit air from coming into contact with the suit.

    alpinestars_mx1_leather_suit_ventilation_scheme-1.jpg

    With the rider in a full tuck, perforations on the chest are of little effect, so Alpinestars uses the sides of the torso and the upper arms to address this issue. In addition to the perforated leather, the stretch material on the underside of the arms also helps support the very effective cooling properties of the suit. Not only does the air get into the suit as the rider moves down the track, but the perforations flanking the torso help draw sweat and moisture off of the rider for a comfortable ride.

    To deliver cooling air to the upper back, the MX-1 Alpinestars suit relies on these hard plastic shoulder protectors. With this design, it possible to safely deliver air to the upper back without sacrificing the integrity of an extremely vulnerable area of the suit. In fact, these shoulder protectors not only enhance ventilation, but they also help dissipate impact energy in the event of a crash, increase abrasion resistance of this critical joint and they reduce the likelihood of tumbling too! As you can see, these shoulder protectors are not only well-placed from a safety standpoint, but they’re also in an excellent location to send cooling air to the rider regardless of his position on the bike.

    Alpinestars has also relies on a perforated aerodynamic hump to push cooling air into the suit and straight to the middle back. Unfortunately, some back protectors can block this cooling effect if they’re not perforated. If this describes the unit you’re using, talk to us about getting a Forcefield ProSub4 or Pro L2 back protector – these are not only the best back protectors on the market in terms of impact performance, but they’re also extremely comfortable thanks to their well thought-out ventilation schemes that work superbly with ventilated humps like the one you see on the Alpinestars MX-1 leather suit.

    The upper thighs are also highly perforated to take advantage of air passing by the rider at speed to keep him cool.

    As you can clearly see, the ventilation systems employed on Alpinestars’ MX-1 suit are specifically designed for the track-going performance rider. Suit perforations are designed perfectly to compliment modern sportbikes while at the same time enhancing safety. You’ll stay cool and comfortable on the bike so you can enjoy your time at the track with the Alpinestars MX-1 leather suit.
