Alrighty guys, went on a little splurge this past week :sing

And I couldn't be happier with my purchases.

Driven D3 Grips and ASV Levers. Shorty brake, standard clutch.

Krypton 6000K HID's

And my prized possession, a Nexx XR1-R Full Carbon Fiber helmet..

Driven's grips are awesome, not only for looks but in comfort and feel. They are a little thicker and wider than stock grips so if you have a little bigger hands they feel much better.

The ASV levers are very very impressive and somewhat makes me enjoy shifting and braking just to feel the buttery smoothness. It almost seems like it's easier to pull everything in, not to mention the unlimited adjustment! :toocool:

Krypton has really outdone themselves with these HID kits, the customer service is outstanding and far exceeds expectations. Not to mention a fantastic product with ease of installation.

And finally, I am most impressed with the Nexx helmet. It's incredibly light, weighing in at a mere 1200g. The helmet's comfort and customization for the rider is amazing, and still provides superior airflow and wind noise reduction. My favorite part about the XR1-R (other than the weight) is the field of view. It has the most peripheral amount of view out of any helmet I have ever had on.

I also ordered a Dainese Shotgun perforated textile and a Dainese Leguna Seca Div. 1 piece suit! I live in Indy and won't have it in time for the lap around the MotoGP track but other than that I'm stoked!

Woo! Let me know what you think! :cheers

I love it, would highly recommend it. It's a new helmet as well, so not many people know about it. I was the first person to buy one at the Duc shop in Indy :yes

No sir, just full driven grips/bar ends. Just took a little muscle and some patience to get the bar ends to fit properly. The Driven bar ends use a rubber bushing versus standard threads, so it's a nice tight fit
