Leo Vince Etched Exhaust and Two Brothers Custom Badge
I used to chop my pipes down or move the badges around just to make them a little different than everyone else's. Now there's a way cooler idea from two different pipe makers. I know, I have two choices here, but I can't decide which one I like better.
Two Brothers lets you mix and match different colors along with a customized badge, while Leo Vince does some cool laser etching of whatever you want to display. I can't decide which one I prefer, so I'm calling it a tie. You'll have to decide for yourself.

Eurocomponents USA Grips
Billet grips used to be a love 'em or leave 'em product. But, Eurocomponents came out with these finger holders that feature different choices of ends, caps and colors to let you go as crazy or as subtle as your style. They've changed my mind about the "coolness" of billet grips anyways.
Starting at $185

Lawst Caws Frame Plugs
Perfection is found in the details and the Lawst Caws frame plugs take a budget approach to this notion. That's right, for under 30 bones you can clean up your frame's act. Though they may seem insignificant, a little goes a long way and for just a few bucks they wont break the piggybank either.

Vance and Hines CS-One Exhaust
I have fond memories of Vance and Hines exhausts from my early days of riding. The CS-One pipe blends new school performance and style with old school history and heritage at an affordable price. The boys are back in town.

Michelin Power One tires
I was really struggling with stock tires at a trackday, but when we spooned on the Power Ones all of my stress was eliminated within a couple laps. Where I was slipping and sliding previously I was now getting on the gas earlier with more confidence. Then I decided to keep the tires on the bike for the street and they held up really well for a load of commuter miles. What more could you ask for really?

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires
Until now I would have never guessed a tire would top my list of favorite performance parts. But that went out the window the first day I tired these sticky buns. Yeah, don't kid yourself these are THAT good. Trust me, on track, on the street or in the canyons these tires are amazing! They heat up quickly, stick like stink and last forever.

Ed Hardy Hayabusa
When your work looks so good everyone thinks it's a graphic decal you've done something right. H2o Cycles somehow made an ugly design look cool.

Two Brothers ZX-6R
This killer Kawi has serious OG flavor and West Coast roots. It's simple, flashy and has heart. I've always been a sucker for the low-rider scene and when flaked-out paint and wire wheels make their way on to a bike it's an instant classic. Good work Two Brothers.

Powder's GSX-R600
Is it a coincidence that the owner of a powder blue bike is named Powder? Maybe, but that doesn't really matter to me as much as the fact that the blue body contrasted with the black chassis is a hot combo. Add the race inspiration from the Rizla Suzuki team instead of skulls or flames and I'd call it a winner. Hell, I had one of my personal bikes painted much the same.
