I still complained to the site. They told me they cancelled my order due to selling out. I told them I will accept a raincheck for that price when more arrive.

Did you try it on before hand? I got mine a large because that's what I usually am. I tried and on and knew it was really tight. I didn't think twice about it since it is my first helmet ever, but after taking my msf class I now know scorpion I need an xl. And its too late to return the helmet I have now. So woot woot for passanger helmet lol.

It's made by Maxima

Mr.E · July 20th, 2011, 08:57 AM

For the record, I didn't mean to quote matha. I meant to reply to vamp. Damn phones these days don't know what I click.

Vampyre · July 20th, 2011, 09:35 AM

Oh I currently have an exo-400 in large, and I quite like the fit.

lonewolf05 · July 20th, 2011, 02:45 PM

Kat- There is stuff at lowes its made by dupont its teflon chain wax they also make a chain degreaser which is what I use and its like 5 bucks a can

Hmm. And usually you're a large in other helmets? If so, do you find this large atleast tighter then the other large helmets??

matha028 · July 20th, 2011, 04:50 PM

Caps: what's the benefit of getting that full exhaust over getting just a slip on? What other things will I need to do to my bike if I put that on or put a slip on on.

You might be ok though. As u sweat in it the padding will break down a little, making it looser. Is it way to tight or just a little to tight?

full exhaust = performance benefit
slip on = no performance benefit

and you will need a Jet Kit, or at least shim your needles

Mr.E · July 20th, 2011, 05:00 PM

it's pretty tight. To the point where sometimes I'm not sure if my face gets red because its that tight or because I get hot. Its wearable though and I can wear it for an hour or so (Dont ask why I would know without a bike) LMAO.

But I have been meaning to try on the XL since I got it. :-\ Even a little less tighter would be better yet still as safe.

matha028 · July 20th, 2011, 05:09 PM

How does the full system give more performance? And what does a jet kit cost?

Mr.E · July 20th, 2011, 05:12 PM

^^ Wow. I should have read this post before I just posted a post in another section. Lol.

matha028 · July 20th, 2011, 05:24 PM

Exo-700's from $49.99 among other items

Vampyre · July 20th, 2011, 05:32 PM

I wanted the inner sun visor. You will get some performance from a slip on. It removes one cat. Maybe 1.5hp for slip-on part and 3.5hp for the header. One day I will get the PLM so I can use the header up to my dan moto. I prefer the look of the dan moto slip-on. Also I didn't need to jet with the slip-on, just shim the needles a bit.

matha028 · July 20th, 2011, 05:34 PM

I agree the danmoto looks better

Vampyre · July 20th, 2011, 05:36 PM

oh and only partly cloudy tomorrow for the forecast. So I think it should be a great night for the meet.

Vampyre · July 20th, 2011, 05:38 PM

Well according to one cloudy, the other maybe rain, but I am hopefull.

removes the Catalytic Converter in the headers, and iirc Reddoak has one for sale for like $50

but very expensive, a new growler runs $300 and headers are about the same. then I have to have a custom reducer made to link them

matha028 · July 20th, 2011, 08:05 PM

These tropical storms off the coast make nice weather to ride in!
Well if u stumble across a full exhaust that is less than 250-300 let me know. :-)

I like that first one. So I'll get a little more power taking the snorkel out? Cool. But that exhaust looks better.

caps · July 20th, 2011, 08:32 PM

i thought you might like the size of that muffler more

Vampyre · July 21st, 2011, 05:27 AM

Morning all. If that G+ huddle is still up invite me back.

Vampyre · July 21st, 2011, 10:19 AM

My new helmet and gloves have shipped....woohoo!!!!!!!!!

Mr.E · July 21st, 2011, 02:29 PM

So I went to the dealer to pay for my bikes release (which went from september 31st to september 9th now if I keep paying at this rate.), The dealership was telling me how I got my bike on lay away just in time. Said since then, they've sold five 250rs and were working on selling their last as I walked in. Hopefully we will get new florida members on this forum x-)
