Title: New helmet
Post by: Finest on April 09, 2011, 09:39:36 PM
One step closerrrrrrrrr!   O0

It's just an Icon Alliance Redeemer, nothing fancy.  But I liked the design and colors, and my big fat head actually fit this one well (2XL).   :o

It's April, get a bike already. Anyways, as long as the helmet is DOT and Snell approved, it'll protect the same regardless of brand and price so "fit" is the most important factor. I've owned higher cost brands like Shoei  to lower cost brands like Zox and all have done its job, main difference is the price.

Maybe he is taking steps into buy a bike. The MN msf/brc course doesnt provide helmets.  When I took the course they didnt provide helmets.   

Where you from, OP?

Dude, don't you use a trickle charger? 

Really, the battery is not even that old... 2 years old maybe if I remember it correctly.

C'mon Wicked, a tender is only 30 dollars:

No need to take the battery out Wicked. Use quick connect plug that came with the tender. It stays connected to the battery so when ever you want to use the tender, just plug it to this connector:

Best thing to do is shop around. I Was going to pick up an OEM Yuasa brand for my girl's bike but end up getting a trugel battery for less money. Heard some good things about trugel so just thought I check it out first hand. So far so good but it's only been a few months. I ordered it through a bike dealership and they charge and prep it so it's ready to go when picked up. think I paid 80 dollars for it after tax. Looks like this:

damn that's not too shabby.  i might have to go that route too.  the last one that is dead now is the OEM Yuasa.

how's the fitment on that battery?


thinking about trying out Batteries Plus if not then the one you mentioned.

The fitment is the same as OEM batteries. Like OEM batteries, price, size, and specs are based on the model of the bike.

Do some research and get what you think it's best for your dollar.
