Bombshell Boot
Yes, these are motorcycle riding boots. The Bombshell boot is a true female riding boot that doesn't look like it belongs only on a racetrack. The stylish boot has a ribbed calf expansion panel, as well as internal ankle and insole padding that provides more comfort than any typical roadrace boot (so we're told, we couldn't actually get them on). Now you can dress in heels and hop on the bike knowing your feet will still be protected.

Drastik Plastix
Flextubez LEDs
These funky bendable and flexible LED accent lights come pre-taped on all three sides and allow the light strip to be mounted on either side (not just the back). This makes for an extremely versatile LED lighting system because they can do things traditional lights can't. Mounting is quick and easy and involves nothing but removal of the tape. They come in four precut sizes including 3, 9, 12 and 30 LED strips and a variety of colors.

Beringer
Aeronal Brake Disc
"While removing a rotor from the front forks will show off the wheel better, it also removes 50 percent of your braking power. This makes for an interesting ride when trying to slow down a fat-tire bike that weighs loads more than stock. To help fix the problem I added a Beringer Aeronal rotor to my Project R1 to help slow down the rock in my roll. The cast-iron braking surface with an aluminum hub offers great performance, but I have to admit it was the cool blue color that first grabbed my attention.
Once installed it took a few trips to get the pads to bed in properly, but afterward an improvement in stopping power was noticeable. When sacrificing braking performance for style, it's a good idea to upgrade the parts that are left to make sure you don't end up crashing in the name of good looks."

HJC AC-12
Carbon Elbowz Helmet
The durable and lightweight carbon-fiber AC-12 is HJC's high-end helmet. Its Advanced Channeling System (ACS) features two flow-through channels, forehead intake vents, lower exhaust vents and a spoiler for maximum air flow. The removable inner liner keeps your head snug and dry as the AquaTrans material wicks moisture away from the skin. The shell is constructed from a carbon-fiber composite, with a wider eyeport for improved vision. Appropriately named after AMA Superbike Champion Ben Spies' signature elbows-up riding style, the AC-12 Carbon Elbowz is available in sizes XXS-XXXL.

S-MX1 shoe/boot
"I've got some nasty scars on my ankles from my tennis shoe days, and the feeling in my toes will never really be the same, I'm afraid. But my old excuse for not being able to wear proper boots because of the lack of feel and stupid looks has been squashed by the S-MX1 shoe/boot. I can feel the brake lever and pegs just fine, and when I'm off the bike they look like they could be something off the Foot Locker shelf.
They're sort of a pain in the ass to get off once tightened up, but by that I mean I can't just kick them off when I get in the door. With that in mind, the first to usually come off in a crash are the shoes, so I'm glad these puppies are a bit stubborn."
