July 11, 2012
"k and n filters are awesome. i have put one in my work van, my gsxr600, my vt1100 shadow and my buddies old cbr600 and have noticed and immediate difference in all of them. more hp and smoother throttle response! plus when it gets dirty just wash it, re-oil it, and re-use it! cant go wrong with a k&n filter!"
 
The Icon Airframe helmet features a shell that is constructed out of fiberglass, Dyneema, and carbon fiber which cuts weight like a boxer before weigh-ins yet remains strong like a heavyweight. Oversized intake and exhaust ports allow for mass amounts of air to pass through the Airframe helmet. The closable chin bar vent acts as a defogger by directing air up the inside of the shield. Icon developed the Proshield that is incorporated into the Airframe helmet that can be quickly removed for cleaning or to change to a tinted Proshield. The Prosheild also features the secure Prolock locking system. The removable molded breath deflector in the Airframe helmet keeps fog from building up when your increased heart rate from the twisties induces heavy breathing. Icon pushed air through the Airframe, but sometimes it is not enough to keep you dry so Icon uses the removable and washable Hydradry moisture wicking liner to keep you clean. Icon is never dull and custom printed the liner. A removable chin curtain makes air flow adjustable on the Airframe helmet. All world standards meets or exceeds the following: DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australian) and SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers unless purchased in that country.

The Zero Gravity Double Bubble has changed the face of the sportbike industry. This innovative "bubble within a bubble" concept was pioneered by Zero Gravity and has pushed modern day race bikes to their peak performance level. From our first inception of a performance windscreen the Double Bubble, is Zero Gravity's version of the now popular "stepped profile" design, pioneered by Zero Gravity Racing in the mid-90's. Sculpted to the sport bike's distinctive futuristic lines, the Zero Gravity Double Bubble enhances the bike's race look while providing added aerodynamics. Image is for reference only. Actual shape will differ by fitment.

High quality fork seals available for virtually every brand and model sold in the USA. Most performance models are now available in genuine "NOK" anti-stiction material. All oil seals and dust wipers are made in Japan. Sold in pairs. NOTE: Some fork seal dimensions listed are the actual size of the seals before installation and not the size of the forks. Example, 25.7, 29.5, 29.8, 31.7, 34.7, 38.5, 41.7 and 42 mm are the seals actual relaxed I.D. and not the fork tube size that they are designed to fit.

The Galfer Wave Brake Rotor provides stopping power and performance that is far superior to any OEM brake rotor. Galfer built the Wave rotor out of 420 high carbon stainless steel which maintains shape during the intense heat cycles. Galfer ensures every Wave brake rotor is produced perfectly flat by using parallel double disc grinding and laser cut for the best pad contact surface. The unique wave design of the brake rotor creates a better contact surface with the pads to improve braking. Galfer also found that the wave shape increases cooling and clearing debris. The shape of the Wave brake rotor eliminates excessive material which translates to weight loss. The Galfer Wave brake rotor is a bolt on application to fit perfectly into your stock brake caliper.

nice rotor
July 11, 2012
"this rotor looks and works good. im sure by the design that it stays cooler than stock. i installed hh rated sinterd pads at the same time as the rotors so braking power was significantly increased. not sure how big of a role the rotor played in that but i do like the rotor for its looks alone. cant really tell that its lighter than stock. maybe a little. still looks and works great and at a good price!"

The Factory Pro Velocity Stacks are a simple addition to your intake that will add true tuned horsepower to your motorcycle. Factory Pro Velocity Stacks will replace the stock velocity stacks to create a less restrictive airflow to let your bike breath easier. With improved airflow the Factory Pro Velocity Stacks will improve your throttle response and acceleration. These velocity stacks are constructed out of billet aluminum for a durable and smooth finish. Each velocity stack is tuned to optimize horsepower across the entire powerband without sacrificing power. The Factory Pro Velocity Stacks will work with your O.E.M. air filter or most aftermarket.

Your Choice of Drive Chain: D.I.D 520 ZVMX Series X-Ring Gold Chain - 120 Links: D.I.Ds engineers are continuously improving chain designs in order to handle the tremendous horsepower loads of todays high performance motorcycles. In developing the new DID ZVM-X series, D.I.D focused on "Rigidity." Traditionally, "Tensile Strength" has been the bench-mark to indicate overall strength, but tensile strength is only a laboratory static measurement of a chains fracture point. Rigidity, on the other hand, is the ability of a chain to withstand the forces that occur in the real world that riders experience. Increased rigidity means better power transfer from the engine to the ground, greater resistance to stretching under load, and overall improved performance that meets the demands of the current high-power bikes and the people who ride them. Increased rigidity for better power transfer and greater resistance to stretching under load. Overall improved performance that meet the demands of the current high-power bikes. Designed to meet requirements of machines bigger than 1000cc. Same excellent characteristics of the ZVM chains, but its new X2-ring design provides 40 percent greater wear resistance and better overall chain life. Average tensile strength of 8,745 pounds. Wear life index: 3500. For use on Superbikes; maximum rated displacement 1200cc. Weight (per 100 links): 3.59 pounds. Includes a rivet-style master link. 120 links.

great upgrade
July 11, 2012
"I got this kit almost a year ago and have put about 4000 miles since installing it. The chain has barely stretched at all and the sprockets have barely worn. This gsxr600 is my first sport bike so maybe this is normal. i am used to motorcross where you replace chains and sprockets all the time. i am very pleased and surprised with the way this chain and sprocket set has held up. also with the lighter weight and -1 +2 gearing the bike takes off much much quicker just beware of higher rpms cruising on the highway and lots of speedo error!"
