Good replacement
October 5, 2009
"Well the seat appears to be good quality with good workmanship. That said, installation was a bit of a pain. The rear mounting tabs had to be adjusted and I had a problem with the rubber mounts popping off when I installed it. Overall, good product."
 
A cheaper alternative to replacing bent radiators. Designed to absorb the impact of a crash. Simple bolt-on, with no modifications needed. Lightweight, rigid aluminum design. Sold as an assembly with all needed parts. Note: Will not fit with aftermarket oversized tanks.

"These braces fit my 08 CRF450R perfectly. The kit came with the longer bolts required and installed easily. Unfortunately they have had the chance to prove themselves. Result, zero damage to the brace or the radiator. Very happy indeed."
 
Renthals R3-2 O-ring Chain is a high-strength sealed-ring chain with excellent impact load resistance designed specifically to withstand the stress found in off-road applications where an O-ring chain is desired. This chain is the choice where a combination of high strength, light weight and maximum power transfer are important considerations. The O-rings help extend chain life by retaining the special vacuum-injected grease near the critical pin area. Chain comes pre-stretched to shorten break-in period. Nitrile O-rings extend chain life by retaining special vacuum-injected grease inside the chain joint. Shot-peened alloy steel side plates for high tensile strength and maximum impact load resistance. High-carbon alloy steel bearing pins for excellent resistance to wear. Gold colored side plates help prevent corrosion. Pre-stretched to enhance performance of the chain. Available in 520 pitch only. Average tensile strength of 7,644 pounds. Wear life index: 750. Maximum displacement (street / off-road): N/A / 500cc. Weight (per 100 links): 3.36 pounds. Each chain includes a pair of latex gloves for mess free installation. 120 links. Note: The Renthal R3-2 chain is supplied with both an easy-fit split master link and a superior solid-pin rivet master link which matches the durability of the chain. Note for installing O-ring chains: As O-ring chains are wider than standard roller chains, when fitting an O-ring chain to a motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.

"My only beef with this chain is the link width. It's wide enough that on my 08 CRF450R it rubs against the crankcase cover that I decided to take the chain off. Other than that, it's very long lasting and looks great."

 TALON FRONT WHEEL - HONDA RED/BLACK
TALON FRONT WHEEL - HONDA RED/BLACK
Bring on the punishment of full throttle whoop sections, massive triples or off road single tracks because the Talon wheels are built to take it all. Talon builds their hubs out of a solid piece of billet aluminum for extreme durability without the added weight. The Talon hub comes complete with all seals bearings and spacers fitted for easy installation. Excel rims wrap the Talon hubs to ensure quality is not compromised. Tying the Excel rim to the Talon hub is the Bulldog spokes that feature spline drive nipples for accurate truing. Note: the Talon rear wheel is sold individually.

"These rims and hubs are quite simply the only way to go. Excellent build quality and the looks.....you just cant beat the looks.
Strong, light and a must have when your stockers give up on you.

 RG3 GEN2 TOP CLAMP - RED
RG3 GEN2 TOP CLAMP - RED
Take control of your dirt bike with the RG3 Gen 2 top triple clamp. RG3 created a patented four post handle bar clamp mounting system that utilizes rubber cones between the handle bar clamp and top triple clamp. The four point mount increases stability much more then factory rubber mount systems. The unique bar mount system on the Gen 2 top clamp dampens vibration which reduces arm pump and fatigue. Push your dirt bike to the limits with extreme durability from the RG3 Gen 2 top clamp. Install your favorite oversized handle bars on the Gen 2 top clamp for hardcore durability.

"Everyone knows the RG3 name. They have reputation for quality parts and this clamp is no exception. Very little vibration transfer and there is no way you're going to twist your bar mounts. The bonus is the appearance."

No clip style master link?

After reading a couple of the questions about this chain, it appears as though it does not come with a clip style master link. I have purchased 2 of these R3 chains before and each time the chains have included both the clip and rivet style master links. Have they changed the product to only include the rivet style?

 RG3 Gen2 Complete Clamp Set With Steering Stem - Red
RG3 Gen2 Complete Clamp Set With Steering Stem - Red
The RG3 triple clamps utilize a unique, patent pending system that, unlike any other clamp on the market, provides all the advantages of a rubber-mounted system without the disadvantages. Rubber mount points stabilize the bar clamps while absorbing shock and vibration that would otherwise be transmitted to the rider's hands. The likelihood of armpump and rider fatigue is greatly reduced as is the tendency to twist the bar mounts in the advent of a fall or hard landings. Oversized bar mounts.
 

What parts needed

The website describes this as a complete including stem. Under the description it indicates it does not come with a stem. Could you please clarify this for me.

Carriers

Do the Excel/Talon wheel sets require carriers to be purchased separately? Do they require the carriers? Or are these wheel sets ready to go upon arrival?

Thanks

This system easily installs into O.E.M. air box - No modification necessary! The all new Loud Mouth Intake System is a game changer. Loudmouth rebuilt the front of the air box and eliminated several points of weakness associated with the O.E.M. setup. They designed the intake to seal at both the intake boot and at the air filter with a rubber seal, which eliminates the possibility of dirt entering your engine. The intake system gathers up air from low flowing areas within the air box and essentially rams it into the intake tract like a velocity stack. Loud Mouth off-centered the air inlet to straighten airflow entering the intake boot to boost performance output to the point that it completely changes the sound of the bike at every RPM. In addition to improved power output, the intake system is definitely not O.E.M. and the billet machined surface incorporates style and simplistic functionality into the air box like never before. Filter changes are safer and can be performed in under 30 seconds unlike 10+ minutes with the O.E.M. thumb screw setup. Installation is a breeze. You do not have to remove the intake boot from the throttle body or modify the air box. Loudmouth recommends setting these kits up with the No Toil Oversized Air Filter. Kit Includes: Loud Mouth Intake, Mounting Bracket, Sensor Screws, Filter, Decals and Installation Guide. O.E.M. hardware will be reused. Mapping not required. 100% American Made and Patent Pending.
 

do you have to oil these filters?

Yes, treat like any other filter.

Sidi Crossfire SRS boots are a high-tech boot that will stand up to the use and abuse and continue to offer superior protection and comfort. It all starts with an understanding of what it takes to develop a boot that has the best form and function and the Sidi Crossfire SRS boots have nailed it. To start, the Crossfire SRS have an external Dual Flex system to allow for fluid movement front and back, but extremely rigid side to side movement. Sidi designed the Crossfire SRS boots realizing riders will be putting these boots through the stresses involved with competitive and aggressive riding by making the high wear parts to be replaceable. The soles on the Sidi Crossfire SRS are the simplest replacement system on the market. With a standard Phillips screw driver the sole comes off for easy replacement. Sidi offers multiple types of soles to match your needs. To continue raising the bar on safety, Sidi uses a composite insole on the Crossfire SRS boots which doesnt deteriorate like a steel shank can. Sidi also includes a removable arch support to match the riders foot type. No rider is the same, which is why Sidi designed the calf of the Crossfire SRS boots to adjust, making the boot fit better for increased protection and comfort. Sidi uses their own Technomicro on the Crossfire SRS boots. Technomicro is a composite microfiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. The cam-lock buckles on the Sidi Crossfire SRS are independent providing less resistance and better range of motion. The cam-lock buckles are attached to straps with position memory, making adjusting the strap length a one-time thing. The Crossfire SRS boots are lined with a Cambrelle material to keep your feet nice and cozy. Sidi took advantage of their high-tech design to eliminate the need for an inner booty on the Crossfire SRS boots. By eliminating the inner booty the Crossfire SRS boots are able to shave weight and keep a slender body for easier control and better feedback.
 

which has better toe and ankle protection, srs or ta?

I'm luck enough to have both pairs. There is no difference in the two other than the SRS and the small metal kickplate on the TA's.
