I wanted to ask you, what do you guys prefer to wear as helmets? Do you like the MX with goggles or do you like the street with full face shield? I find that the MX works great off road and what not, but on a windy day going down the highway, its a bit annoying. The wind gets into the helmet on the open face and wiggles it around, no matter how tight it is, and when you go to turn your head to check something out, it wants to pully your head off. I'm guessing that a full faced helmet would be more aerodynamic and not pull at your head so much since the wind is going around your helmet and not throught it. What do you think?

 

Arai XD is a good choice (but expensive, that's why I don't have one yet). I tend to wear my Arai Signet fullface more than anything else (I also have Schuberth C1 I wear from time to time). If I'm going to be mostly offroad and it's warm to hot outside, I'll wear the MX style KBC I have.

 

yeah I have a road and a MX style, horses for courses

 

With this bike really looking like a dirt bike with blinkers, I opted for the Motocross full face, and goggles. I think it would look funny with a street helmet, just like a MX helmet would look funny with a street bike. I did just pick up a pair of Bobster ridding glasses with 3 sets of lenses, clean-amber-dark lenses. If it's really cold, or I'm going to be following someone on the trails, I'll wear the Goggles.
I have the Vega helmet that matches my bike..........oh man!! does that mean women aren't the only ones that accessorize? LOL. Plus the helmet was free with the bike. I bought a second one the same color that just happens to fit my wife and my 9 year old son....2 for the price of one.

deej

 

So if I bought a KLX300 Header and muffler, would I be much better noise wise then with a muzzy system with quiet core and SA??

 

just wondering if there is anybody out there who has tried this system. I am sick of waiting on a muzzy.

hoping for some input about mounting and installation ease. i could care less about noise

 

If you don't care about noise and want a high-performance system I recommend the Four Stroke Works header and muffler. It made an amazing difference on my bike, but it is loud, REALLY LOUD! I had to rejet to 128 main and 38 pilot and later installed the Dynojet neddle. I had to made a small dent in the underside of the header to clear one of the oil lines aft of the cyllinder, but that wasn't a big deal. I just used a hammer and tapped away till I had a good fit. This system is desinged for the KLX 300 and I guess that bike has the oil lines routed a bit differently. The full system was about $500 if I remember correctly. FYI, my gas mileage dropped by about 25% with this system, but that's not an issue for my riding style. Jerry Leighton at FSW will answer your quesionts and was very helpful when I called him.
