Gaerne SG-10 Boots
The Gaerne SG10 is arguably dollar for dollar the best motocross boot on the market today due to the innovative features Gaerne packed in. It all starts with the technology to make safe even safer so Gaerne developed the "Razor Back Pivot System" for the SG10 boots that gives superior protection for the ankle. The Razorback system gives great side-to-side and front-to-back mobility without restricting movement. Polyurethane construction with the Razorback system along with the protection on the inside, toe, and outside of the SG10 boots provides excellent impact resistance without adding weight. Leather is a must when developing a high end boot, but Gaerne took it a step further with the SG10 boots and used Italian hand-selected full-grain leather to provide easy break-in and quality protection. Gaerne's "Grip Guard" inner panel is incorporated into the Razorback system that creates a high friction contact point between you and your bike for quality control while protecting against heat and abrasion. A supercross shank gives the SG10 boots a rigid platform that takes any high impact racing or just riding can through at it. Gaining control and feel through the foot pegs is high priority and Gaerne installed a dual compound sole on the SG10 boots to accomplish that. The buckles of the SG10 boots follow the simple rule "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" The aluminum buckles are durable and adjustable that function with ease. Inside the SG10 boot is like a 5 star resort with the memory cell polyurethane foam liner surrounding your feet with the addition of Bio-foam for a custom like fit. Even the foot bed found in the SG10 boots plays a part in the exceptional comfort. Gaerne incorporated a shock absorbing material to keep you comfy.

Phenomenal Boots!
October 6, 2011
"Gaerne has made a truly top of the line boot here. Having recently broken my tib and fib this last December (12/10), I spent a good deal of time weighing out all of my options in the way of high-end boots... And boy oh boy I couldn't be happier with these things!
The construction, fit and finish of these boots are second to none and they feel both extremely supportive and comfortable once worked in a little bit. They seem to wear pretty darn well from what I've found thus far, the buckles and straps work flawlessly and the confidence and "strength" they seem to promote/provide feels great (especially in lieu of the injury and whatnot).
Having ridden in these SG-10s for a little while now, I can't imagine wearing or settling for anything less in moving forward! 5 stars for sure..."

Alpinestars mashes racing performance with everyday style and comfort with the S-MX 5 boots. The Alpinestars S-MX 5 boots obtain features from their race boots like the double injected polyurethane shields in the shin, ankle, calf, toe and heel areas to provides great impact protection. The micro-fiber upper construction on the S-MX5 boots is high-tech and durable and engineered for a high level of flexibility. Alpinestars brings protection to the inside of the S-MX 5 boots with a double injected panel that is connected to the heel counter and runs up the out ankle. Adding protection to the S-MX 5 boots allowed Alpinestars to achieve CE certification. Ventilation has been strategically placed throughout the S-MX 5 boots at the ankle, heel, and forefoot that allow fresh air to infiltrate built up stagnant air. The large front instep and Achilles flex bellows keep the S-MX boots flexible for easy control operation. The sole of the S-MX 5 uses an exclusive compound rubber that has structured shank reinforcement to add support to the arch area of the boots. Dragging your toes in the corner happens which is why Alpinestars made the protective toe piece to easily be replaced on these boots. Alpinestars uses a quick drying polyamide lining that is laminated with open cell foam and high density contoured padding to absorb shock to the foot area. To keep the S-MX5 boots performing at their best Alpinestars incorporated a MTP mesh liner and an anatomical, removable, polyurethane foam foot bed that will keep your feet cool and comfy. Slipping your feet into the Alpinestars S-MX 5 boots is a cinch with their innovative inner side entry system that features an elastic mounted zipper with an extra wide Velcro brand hook-and-loop flap.
Can I get a pair of nonvented boots?
Do the boots tend to run narrow.
I wear a 9.5EEE shoe. What size should I order?
I wear a 9.5EEE shoe. What size should I order?
No, I wouldn't say that these boots run narrow at all, they simply run "normal" in their widths. Being that you typically wear an EEE I certainly can't say that these boots will fit you comfortably if you go with a 9.5, but I definitely can't recommed going up a size or two just to accomodate your width. Either way you go, I would think that you are going to have some fitment/comfortability issues here. Honestly, your best judgement as to what size you should wear is much better than mine...

Hotbodies Racings Rear Tire Huggers are the perfect accessory to their Undertails. They not only look great and give you some extra color by the rear wheel, but they also help protect the Undertail and the shock linkages from getting dirty. All Huggers can be installed in minutes and require no modifications to the bike. Factory color-matched for an O.E.M. look. ABS plastic for a perfect fit. Direct O.E.M. replacement fitment. Made in the U.S.A!
Integrated Chain Guard?
Is the integrated chain guard pictured available? If so, are there certain models, as the reviewers mentioned it didn't come with it for their ride?
Whether or not these Hotbodies rear-huggers will come with chain guards or not is all dependent upon the bike. These are all make and model specific, so if you'd like to get a more accurate idea as to what you can expect for your bike, I'd recommend taking a look at Hotbodies' website (http://www.hotbodiesracing.com/en/c... ).

BT014 Rear Tire / 190 50 R17
Is this a BT014 "G"?...this is what i am looking for to use on a CBR1000 (already running this tire).
Your site didn't show the letter designator,
Thanks
Chris

To be perfectly honest with you, I have no clue as to what this "G" could stand for. Bridgestone does not use or even mention "G" on any of their tire descriptions, load ratings or OE codes. All of these BT014 tires are Z-rated with respect to their speed ratings and being that this is the correct size tire for your bike(190/50-17), this BT014 will work just great for you! If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call.

FILTRON SPRINT AIR FILTER - 2 PACK
Filtron Sprint air filters provide ultra performance for your motorcycle and come 2 in a pack for added value. Filtron Sprint motorcycle air filters are pretreated with Maxima FFT filter oil for a ready to ride experience. Sprint air filters use exclusive foam construction for unobstructed airflow. Filtron Sprint air filters include disposable nitrile gloves to make clean up easy and efficient.
How mant times can these be washed before they start to break down?
Well, there certainly isn't a specific or set limit to the number of times that these filters can be cleaned and re-used, so there really isn't a solid answer to that. I suppose how many uses you can get out of each filter is more or less just up to you and your own peace of mind with regards to running a good, clean air filter in your bike!

Where can I find the oil filter housing?
If the product is just the raw filter element, and I don't want to use the stock oil filter housing that requires a strap wrench to remove, where can I purchase an oil filter housing like the K&N pictured in the example?
Well, I certainly apologize for our product description sounding a bit misleading online here....but K&N's website seems to show the same kind of oil-filter information (I'm working on getting this corrected as I speak). As far as the actual oil filter housings go, I'd think that your best bet is simply contacting K&N direct to see what availability is like for your specific application. K&N's number is (800) 858-3333 and further info regarding their oil filters can be found through the following link:( http://www.knfilters.com/oilfilter.... )
