Daijiro Kato lives on with Shoei’s X-Fourteen TC-1 Daijiro Replica Helmet. The colorful design faithfully replicates the same motif worn by the late rider during his Grands Prix days and is adorned with the now-retired #74 on the upper after portion of the lid. The bright colors are unmistakable and the work required to correctly render the pattern rightfully represents Daijiro’s legacy as a rider who was as fast as he was meticulous. Starting from within, each X-Fourteen helmet is fashioned around a highly-engineered, fully-removable comfort liner and cheek pads. These pieces effectively pull moisture off your head and keep you cool while you make way through the apex, or the toll booth. The (now-standard) emergency quick release system EQRS cheek pads allow for, not only a secure fit of the helmet, but also a faster, safer removal of the lid should the rider need careful attention after a crash. All of this is snuggled inside a dual-layer, multi-density EPS foam liner that absorbs impact energy in a fall, while effectively aiding in the delivery of cooling air straight to the scalp. For maximum safety, helmet sizing is critical, that’s why Shoei employs four different shell sizes in the X-Fourteen range to fit extra-small to XX-large heads. The shell itself, which uses six layers of hand-laid, varying materials, provides the right mix of rigidity and flexibility not typically seen in a fiberglass helmet, or that of a plastic shell. The result is a SNELL-approved helmet that almost certainly looks like it’s been developed in a wind tunnel (it was!). The shape is carefully engineered to provide effective rider ventilation without calling into question safety. Riders that spend a lot of time at the track will appreciate the minimal buffeting at speed in a helmet that doesn’t push the head around as much as lesser designs. Each helmet ships with extras: a lower air spoiler, Pinlock visor cover, breather guard, chin curtain and helmet back.

Attack rearsets give you all of the meat, with none of the fat, in one elegant package. Each kit comes with everything you need to not only improve your fit on the ZX-10R, but also – improve shifting performance and feel on the brake pedal. The rearsets are entirely manufactured using top-quality aluminum that’s all held together, stoutly, with high-quality stainless steel fasteners. And wherever pivot points are found, you get a precision bearing-mediated interface. Quality is of no concern, no matter how much you scrutinize these beauties. All of this lends well to durability in a crash. The footpegs are engineered to break off at half length, giving you enough room for your foot to purchase so you can finish the race or get home safely. Furthermore, each toe peg is mounted on a pivot joint for extra survivability. In terms of adjustability, there’s little, really nothing – left to be desired. You get a wide range of peg position possibilities, and also, you can adjust the length of the shifter and brake arms, too. And when it comes time to configure the rearsets to your particular dimension, you may have a hard time doing so while you admire the gorgeously sculpted components. From the backing plates, the carbon fiber heel guard or even the footpegs, there’s nuances that they eye will enjoy everywhere. You know the routine, give TJ or Mike a call on 866.931.6644 to get this, or any other Attack Performance component sent straight to your door. Of course, forum@ridersdiscount.com or a PM works, too!

Your favorite parts guy is back! For those that do not know me around these parts my name is Mike and I was with Riders Discount from near the beginning. I left about 18 months ago but was lured back and I asked if I could be on one of my favorite forums. TJ and I are going to be working together on the forum. So what did I miss?

The number of AGV helmets with the 46 on them that you can find is never ending, so we’d like to present you with another one – the K-3 Tartaruga, which translates to the Turtle Helmet from AGV. Dogs, people running on its sides, a turtle shell at its top and of course, the number 46 on the aft side - there’s a lot of Valentino in this helmet and it’s all rendered by Drudi Performance. “So, why the turtle?” some may ask. Well, when Vale was a boy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were a big deal, in Italy too, apparently. Hence, the Tartaruga has been somewhere on Valentino’s gear, or his bike, for ages. With this, you get it right on top of the helmet. But enough about the colors, let’s talk about the K-3 SV helmet. This street-focused lid is built with plenty of ventilation; three adjustable intakes are fitted at the top of the helmet and a nifty tab is fitted front and center at the bottom of the flip-up visor which allows copious quantities of air to move over your face when needed. This is all complimented by a set of exhausts on the back of the helmet that are covered in stainless steel screens. AGV’s Dry-Comfort fabric is fitted inside the helmet for qualified comfort via positive moisture absorption and ventilation assistance. You’ll also find a removable chin skirt right at the front, too. And don’t worry about carrying a smoked visor with you when you head out the door, this helmet comes with a built-in drop-down smoked visor. You only need to push on the red tab on the side of the helmet with your clutch hand to raise or lower this nice feature. Sun up or sun down, you’re ready for the ride! You can order this ECE and DOT approved helmet by calling TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817, or send a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com with AGV K-3 TARARUGA HELMET in the subject line or just shoot us a PM and we’ll get right back to you.

This has been on the schedule for about a week to be posted today, so it was just good timing on your question this morning.

On or off the bike, SMX-1 R vented boots are the bomb diggity when it comes to versatility and protection, without the shin-high motorcycle boot style. These boots, which are really high-top shoes, provide plenty of protection without making it feel like your feet are in some sort of solitary confinement. You just step into comfort, hit the road or wear ‘em around town as they’re well-suited for all-day use. A perforated, abrasion-resistant material is used on the sides and toebox of these boots while a flexible microfiber mesh material is fitted over the upper portions. The goal here is the delivery of copious quantities of cooling air as these are purpose-built hot weather riding boots. To protect these materials from excessive wear, thermoplastic polyurethane panels are fitted on the shifter area and all around the heel counter. For those of you that corner low, replaceable toe sliders are fitted as standard. At the bottom, your feet will float on Alpinestars’ specification road-going rubber. This hard-wearing material keeps your feet firmly placed on the bike while permitting plenty of flexibility when you’re afoot around town. Further conspiring to provide a comfortable fit are the EVA foam and Lyrca-made footbeds above which a soft, anatomically-shaped liner pulls sweat and moisture off your feet. Most convenient of all, there are no shoelaces to get caught in the chain here, just zip in and lock the simple Velcro closure that pushes your entire foot inside the boots in a secure, reliable manner. Available in black as well as colored varieties, these boots will become a versatile part of your riding loadout! You can order these gloves and take advantage of expert sizing advice by calling TJ on 866.931.6644 ext 817, sending us a PM or a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com with ALPINESTARS SMX-1R VENTED BOOTS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.

An extremely adept riding glove, the Patron Gore-Tex model from Alpinestars is a wise choice for the long-distance, all-weather motorcyclist. It’s built using a combination leather, synthetic suede surrounding a breathable Gore-Tex membrane. The design provides plenty of protection in a weather-proof design for riding anywhere, wet or dry. A lot of the features found on the Italian company’s top-of-the-line racing gloves are built into the glove. Things like a hard knuckles, which are hidden under leather, sewn-together third and fourth finger bridges and flexible polyurethane-covered palms all come from that line of thinking. These design elements look after the safety and protection of your finders. Then, there are the truly functional aspects of these gloves that you’ll appreciate. Things like built-in visor wipe on the index fingers, touch-screen compatible finger tips and the reflective sashes fitted on the index and middle fingers. These little features might not sound like much, but will be highly appreciated out on the road.
