highway pegs? +sprockets

Just a note to say that I bought an Arai XD helmet(dual sport) last week and love it. Satuday put the wife on the back and did 150 miles 2 up road ride and 100 miles back home on Sunday. The helmet felt great and the fact that the buffeting is VERY minimal is even better. I paid $430 at the bike shop "good guy deal". It was well worth it. Bob in Milwaukie OR.

better. Yep, these are impressive helmets. I have been using mine for about two months now and even in the gusty New Mexico winds, the helmet is pretty much flutter free. It's amazing how quiet this helmet is despite it's dirt bike design and plenty of surface area that can cause all kinds of noise. Gino Rider Valley Motorcycles

Gear lust has bitten (once again).......gotta get one of these. I checked a couple shops near me and none in stock, so I haven't tried one on yet. How are these sized compared to Shoei? I have a Shoei in XL, and my hat size is about 7-3/4. What kind of price on these from Gino or anyone else who can do mail order? Apparently Arai only likes to sell through dealers.

I also use an XL Shoei (RF-700), and the XL Arai XD fits me very well. Ordinarily Arai helmets are too short for me--my nose is right up against the shield--but the dirt-style design of the XD adds some extra space. Dreas

Tilt the bike on its stand and put something under the right side swingarm or footpeg. Or, if you have a garage w/rafters overhead, you could do a "reverse tiedown" w/nylon straps and support the bike tilted on the kickstand or first back the rear wheel up on top of some pieces of wood or up an auto ramp. A tree branch might work too.

Can I just take a 2X12, turn it on it's edge and move the bike so that the weight is on the board and front tire? From reading the manual, looking at the bike, the sprocket change does not look too hard. But of course, everything looks easy till ya do it. Any "but first, disable the trigger mechanism of the torpedo" notes placed at the bottom of the instructions, kinda thing I'm missing?
