TRAIL TESTED EKS BRAND GOGGLES 47.99 Here's why I like the EKS Brand Goggles: You know how some goggles compress your sinus's, making it tough to breath through your nose? Well, the EKS brand fits my face perfectly; no sinus issues at all. Apparently EKS has developed a unique, "face forming" polyurethane blend frame that allows for a fit un-matched by any other goggle. I also like the patented EKS BRAND four-layer face foam that is, in my opinion, the most effective sweat absorbing foam on the market today. I often put one of those ultra thin maxipads inside my helmet to keep the sweat out of my eyes, with EKS brand, there just isn't the need. Finally, the goggle comes with dual pane, vented, anti-fog coated lens, with incorporated tearoff posts. , The GOX goggle is available in six different styles, and the lenses are all interchangeable between each other. . I got mine from Wurlitzer Racing Products, 1-800 982 9367. wurlitzerracing@comcast.net One of these Extreme Harness Adventure suits showed up in the mail a few months back and I ended up wearing it most of the winter. As described on the motonation.com web site: "The Extreme Harness Adventure offers complete protection for the chest, back, shoulders and arms (full upper body) and can be used for multiple sports including on and off road motorcycling, snowsports and extreme sports." It's true. The Extreme Harness really delivers when it comes to protection. It is constructed using Nitrex® a unique high-tech triangular shock absorbing material that molds to you r body. It is also highly adjustable and really does protect you better than anything out there. This will be my go-to protection for dual sporting and all around adventure riding as it's very comfortable during a long day in the saddle. 399.00 www.motonation.com Cool Stuff from  SyStem Tec RACING Ever wonder why your suspension feels less plush than it did at the beginning of a ride? It's probably because of the pressure built up inside of the forks. Did you know that just 2 pounds of pressure can change $34.95 the suspension balance front to rear? Start by topping out your forks, then bleed off any built up pressure using the Speed Bleed buttons by System Tech Racing. The speed bleed buttons are a triple sealed push button valve assembly using two piston and cylinder type o-ring applications in each valve to eliminate leakage of any kind, fluids or air in or out of the fork assembly. They install in just 5 minutes (no modification). Remove the stock Bleed Screws and thread in the STR Bleed Valves with the supplied wrench. Applications: All KTM models though 2012 (4mm Thread) And checkout the cool cool clutch cover guard. www.systemtechracing.com FRESH LIDS FROM ARAI  ◄VX PRO3 EDGE  ORANGE PRIDE  VX PRO3 EDGE RED ► ◄VX PRO3  EDGE ORANGE  MSRP ^ $629.00 $67.95 May 2013 25
