The Flow glove offers amazing flexibility in a lightweight design that's a favorite among riders that want maximum interface with their controls. The single-layer perforated palm panel includes silicon print details for just the right amount of grip while the integrated knuckle flex joints provide maximum flexibility. If you prefer gloves without wrist closures, this is your glove - just slide it on and hit the track. Dimple mesh Q-span construction for added airflow and minimal restriction. Perforated single layer Clarino palm. Tacky silicone print on fingertips and palm for added lever control and grip. Minimal but integrated knuckle TPRs provide the right amount of coverage. Lite-prene wrist construction with 4-way stretch expansion panel increases comfort and adjusts to your exact wrist size. 4-way spandex knuckle provides optimum flexibility.

Great looking glove!
August 16, 2012
"These gloves are great! They fit very nicely and are quite comfortable. They vent air really well keeping my hands nice and cool on hot days. These gloves provide enough protection for regular track riding without having bulky finger pads like you would find in a trail based glove."

Great drop in mod.

"K&N has always been a great way to free up power in any machine. It's not a power adder so much as it frees up power your bike already has. It's also nice to not have to change it like a paper filter, but simply washing and re-oiling gets you another 3,000+ miles in a dusty region or 6,000+ miles in less dusty areas."

The new Q2 incorporates race-tested advancements that add up to a vastly superior tire equally at home on the street or the track. Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) technology in the rear tire intuitively allows the rider greater latitude in line choice while cornering and provides amazingly linear steering no matter what shape, speed or camber the corner, and at all lean angles. Radical new profile puts down a bigger footprint at extreme lean angles while also allowing greater lean angles and higher corner speeds to provide substantially better grip and handling. Dunlop's advanced Multi-Tread technology combines the benefits of a tough, long-wearing center compound for increased mileage with a special lateral-grip compound on each shoulder for superior cornering traction. New carcass construction in both the front and rear tires includes newly designed continuous hex beads that are both lighter and stronger to enhance steering response in the front tire and increase cornering stability in both tires. Q2 rear tire features a newly developed, stiffer version of Dunlop's Jointless Band (JLB) construction that utilizes a continuously wound aramid belt for reduced carcass distortion, plus stiffer overall construction to meet high-performance demands and provide a more consistent contact patch.

Best tire for your dollar!

"The Q2 is by far the best tire I've used on any of my bikes. The combination of fast warm up time and deep lean angles make Q2's an excellent choice for track days, and being a dual compound tire they wear very well for daily street use. My riding style isn't condusive to tire life so a typical rear tire would only last 4 months and the front about 8. I have managed to get 8 months on the Q2 rear and 12 on the front. Given the low price of the Dunlops compared to their competitors price for a similar tire the obvious choice is these. Match the price and quality together and you'll be rolling on the best tires for your dollar!"

Nice accent for sport bikes.

"I installed a pair of these grips on my 2007 SV650 as a replacement for the OE grips and I really like them. They look nicer than the stock grips and they are more comfortable. These grips are also a little thicker than stock grips but it only took a couple minutes to get use to. I didn't install the end caps that come with the grips because I use bar end mirrors and I didn't want to revert back to the ugly OE mirrors. I would definitely add these to a bike that has fairing mounted mirrors and use the end caps for sure."

Excellent power for dollar!

"I bought and installed these on my 2007 SV650. Given the fact that my bike isn't known for top end I figured these would be a great way of adding some... I was very correct! Unlike most inline 4 bikes that only gain a little top end and a cool intake sound, my little v-twin gained a nice amount of mid and top end with no sacrifice to the lower rpm's. I love the added pull I get when my torque runs out and the power picks up. What use to feel like a flat spot in the higher rpm's is now more acceleration.
These are a definite must for anyone looking to get every little bit of power out of their machine with bolt-on's only."

Great budget chain
August 16, 2011
"If you're looking to get a new chain for you pit bike or for your kid's dirt bike, look no further. This is a great alternative to the higher priced chains on the market. Although it is a non-o-ring or x-ring chain you won't have any problems with it rusting or wearing out as long as you use a quality white lithium grease based chain lube and you make sure to clean and re-lube your chain after each ride. Considering my XR80 pit bike isn't what you'd call powerful, I'm sure I'll get at least 3 seasons out of this chain."

What a joke!

"I bought this upgrade for my 2007 SV650 hoping for an easy HP and Torque increase. However, upon installing the "ignition advancer" and starting my bike I heard a very unsettling sound from the engine. After shutting off my bike and removing the ignition cover to investigate, I found the woodruff key had sheared, thus allowing my flywheel to rotate out of control. This said ignition advancer is quite simply a woodruff key with an offset in it. If you really want performance gains save your time and money for a Power Commander or Bizzaz.. The Power Commander won't work with the advancer anyways so you'll just be wasting your money. I'm not sure on Bizzaz but I wouldn't risk it. I'll be heading to the local machine shop to see if they can fabricate another key for me so I can try again... By the way, this woodruff key is the same on all 99-09 SV650's/1000's, TL1000S's/R's, Haybusa's, and V-Strom's per the sticker on the package so if you want to save some $$$, the offset is .031 inches from a .157inch width. I measured it with a caliper at work just out of curiosity... Per metric units it is actually 3.98mm with a .94mm offset. Good luck in the search for power!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/ *U* \m/"

"If you decide to buy this exhaust, be fore-warned that you will need replacement gaskets for the headers. Yoshimura doesn't include them with the slip on. You will also seriously consider removing the stock exhaust like the instructions say to before cutting it to ensure you don't hit your swing arm, foot peg, or rear wheel if you use a hack saw or reciprocating saw. You can cut it with out removal but be sure to put a towel over your rim and swing arm first. I would have rated a 5 if the gaskets were included but because they weren't, I didn't remove the stock headers. This ehaust looks and sounds great!"

does this come with directions
The directions provided are very primitive and quite frankly, vague. You will need a repair manual for the removal procedure and torque specifications for installation. Keep in mind you will also need a strong impact wrench to remove the flywheel bolt, and the flywheel itself. Be cautious of the ignition cover sealing edges as they are extremely sharp!!! You can easily suffer deep lacerations if care isn't taken to cover the edges during removal. I suggest you wear gloves. Also, be sure to install the ldler gear rod before the ignition cover for ease of intallation. Last but not least, ensure your clutch actuator rod is in the cam assembly prior to torqueing the ignition cover bolts or you'll be removing it all over again.
