I love rear brake clevises

"After having ridden one bike with a rear brake clevis I had to have one on my bike. And ever new bike I've ever gotten since then. It takes the play of out the rear brake so when you touch the pedal the brake engages – it doesn't have to wiggle for a micro-second and then engage. It just engages. It looks cooler than stock too. I don't think one brand is much better than another but I will buy one again for my next bike and I recommend rear brake clevises to a friend."
 
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.

Good Radiator Protection & Insurance
July 31, 2012
"I have had these radiator braces on at least four or five of my bikes and they've saved my radiators quite a few times. I think they also protect the radiators from my knees and knee braces too. The main complaint you'll read about them is that someone crashed and they still ruined their radiator. That happens and these radiator BRACES are not radiator CAGES. They aren't as strong as cages but they are lighter, simpler, cheaper and easier to install and they do prevent damage from most crashes and tip overs. I recommend them."

Best throttle tube I've used
July 31, 2012
"I am quite picky about my bike and everything that goes on it. I’ve used this ProTaper throttle tube on three bikes (’07 YZ 450F, ’09 RM-Z 450 and 2011 RM-Z) and it fit all three (Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki all use a very similar throttle design; Honda’s is a bit different and KTM is Austrian of course). I loved the way the throttle feels – no wiggle and smooth. I also liked that ProTaper makes an insert to fit Renthal’s TwinWall handlebars which use a different (thinner) diameter tubing on the outside. I would buy this product again and do recommend it to a friend."
 
Introducing MDX - You don't crash in one direction, why should your lever bend in one? The new V-1 MDX is not a 'flex' lever. The V-1 uses the new multi-directional or MDX platform. Like no other lever before it, the V-1 MDX moves forward, up and down. Eliminating the need for expensive, complicated perches. MDX, because you don't crash in one direction. Invincible technology - Covered by patent 6,047,611. No other lever has this level of technology in it. No cables to break, just good solid hardware. Available for Clutch and Brake applications. Specifically made to have tight tolerance to fit OEM application model perches. Guaranteed - We will back every V-1 MDX lever with an unprecedented five year warranty. Light - The V-1 MDX lever weighs in at a svelte 123 grams. Color availability may vary by application.

Made the front brake mushy
July 31, 2012
"This product is a great idea and the first time I crashed with it on my bike it worked perfectly. However, it made my front brake feel mushy and no amount of bleeding could fix the problem. Going back to a stock-like lever solved the problem immediately and switching back to the V1 made the problem return. If you crash a lot or DNF a lot because of broken levers this is a product to look into but if you'd rather your brake feel like normal and risk crashing and breaking a lever I’d avoid the product."
 
Its not about going tubeless for the sake of eliminating tubes. Its all about the countless benefits of going TUbliss that makes every rider and racer better, faster, and more in control. TUbliss is, essentially, a high pressure rim lock and seal that secures the entire tire bead to the rim, completely eliminating the use of a conventional tube. TUbliss allows you to run a low tire pressure (as low as 10 PSI) which dramatically improves traction; especially important for Enduro and Baja racing. Since theres no conventional tube, the days of pinched tubes and flats are over! Even if you get a tire puncture, the bead stays seated to the rim. A high pressure rim lock and seal that secures the entire tire bead to the rim. Allows you to run a low tire pressure (as low as 10 PSI). Seal is formed against the inside of the tire itself so it holds the tire firmly. Works even with the most dented, dinged, or tweaked rim. Tube Specifications: Size: 19". Fits: 19" x (1.85" - 2.15") rims. The 100 PSI TUbliss inner bladder literally clamps the entire bead and side wall of the tire to the rim, providing full bead lock performance around the full circumference of the rim. The seal is formed against the inside of the tire itself, not the rim, so it holds the tire firmly and makes the sidewalls stay upright and absorb the full impact, unlike bending and deflection you get with conventional tubes. Because of the design, TUbliss will even work with the most dented, dinged, or tweaked rim. Feature Details: Improved Traction: TUbliss secures the bead so securely that it allows a low tire pressure for improved straight line traction without the risk of a pinch flat or tire bead slippage. Because TUbliss means you can much lower tire pressures, traction is improved which is especially important for Baja and Enduro riders. You have no tubes to be concerned with, so lower pressure with TUbliss means youll never pinch a tube! Replace old technology with a stronger, modern and efficient system. Even if you get a tire puncture, the bead stays seated to the rim. Virtually Flat Proof: TUbliss really is virtually flat proof when used with a tire sealant. Sealants cant work on tubes where holes in the rubber stretch and tear. With TUbliss, your sealant works directly on the tire where it matters. Plus, the design of TUbliss helps keep the tire seated on the bead and the sidewalls more stable, virtually making "flat wobbles" a thing of the past. Riders have reported riding longer and harder, completely unaware that they had a tire puncture. Weight Savings: TUbliss also provides a weight savings of up to 3 pounds per wheel which instantly translates into less rotating weight and increases acceleration. Less unsprung weight allows significant suspension performance gains. Experts say that eliminating a pound of rotating unsprung weight is equivalent to dropping 5 pounds of static weight! Runs Cooler: Without the weight and friction of a conventional tube installed, tire temperatures are greatly reduced. This also eliminates tire pressure increases during the course of a moto. Rim Protection: TUbliss protects the rim from dings and dents by holding the tire firmly and making the sidewalls stay upright and absorb the full impact, unlike bending and deflection of conventional tubes.

Works OK until it doesn't work anymore
July 31, 2012
"Maybe it was because I am an early adopter and I bought one of these as soon as they came out… the Tubliss System was significant harder to install than putting in a new tube but not too bad. I had problems with the system holding air; it leaked with a used tire but held air with a brand new tire. I rode with it several times and it worked fine. The wheel seemed lighter and traction was as good if not a bit better than before. I enjoyed months of low problem riding (the system looses more air than a normal tube but that’s an easy fix). In practice before a race I jumped an uphill triple and the rear tire blew out. You can’t change or fix these things easily at the track so I was done for the evening (it was a night race; I may have had enough time to replace it with a real tube during a day race but not at night). I emailed photos to Tubliss and called them and never heard back. The red piece shown in the piece got torn apart and was irreparable. Has the product been improved since my blowout? Maybe, I don’t know. Was the blow out my fault? Maybe, but I am a pretty good mechanic and the thing was installed correctly. Would I ever put one of these on my bike again or recommend them to a friend? Never, ever. Stick with a regular tube."

Good, Heavy Duty Seat Cover
October 21, 2010
"This is the strongest, longest-lasting seat cover I've ever had on a bike. It isn't the best looking being available only in black but knee braces haven't worn through it nor has it torn at all. I like it."
 
Shedding weight produces more power so get rid of your clunky stock dirt bike foot pegs and get the super light and durable Lightspeed Factory Titanium foot pegs. Lightspeed extends the length of the Factory Titanium foot pegs to 57mm wide, producing a large platform. The Lightspeed Factory Titanium foot pegs are sold as a pair.

Best Footpegs Ever
April 27, 2010
"I have purchased five sets of LightSpeed Titanium footpegs for five different bikes and each set has been perfect. Perfect fit, perfect width. I LOVE the feeling of wide footpegs and I don't like any of the other brands (besides Raptor Titanium but those are hard to find in the USA).
If you want wider, lighter footpegs these are the ones to buy."

No, but you can convert your bike into single-sided exhaust bike. You just have to order the right header and a CRF 250R head pipe.

Is the spark arrestor removable? Does this affect performance?

Yes, the spark arrestor is easily removable in the new DR.D exhausts. And yes, it does affect performance somewhat. I noticed that the bike revved a bit more freely with it removed and that I may have gained a little off the bottom on my YZ 450F.
