Here are SSB's top picks from the 2010 Indy Dealer Show. While there were more products that caught our eye, these are the ones that left a lasting impression.
Best Booth Model
Rio Vogt
If you have seen the Zero Gravity ad for its Double Bubble windscreen, than you are familiar with Rio already. When we heard she was working the show, we set out on a mission to locate her. Luckily the grill was just as nice as the bumpers! Expect to see all of Rio in an upcoming issue of SSB.
Best Performance Product
Two Brothers Juice Box Pro
The Two Bro's Juice Box Pro unit has a few new noteworthy features over previous models. It can hold up to ten different maps that can be switched on the box to adjust for various situations. Quick adjustments can also be made to each map on the fly to any of the ten settings. Clever.

Yoshimura R-77 Slip-on with Integrated Catalytic Converter
Slip-on exhaust systems for the 2008-2010 Honda CBR1000RR are nothing new. What drew our attention to this system is that it's designed to be street legal in both noise and pollution. While motorcycles have managed to fly under the radar from the green hand of the law, it's only a matter of time before we are forced to comply.

Icon Victory Metal God Jacket
This will probably be the most talked about jacket in 2010. For starters, it weighs over 30 pounds and has over 100 attached metal skulls. It's limited to just 100 units of which I'm told over half have been sold. At $1,200 it's for the serious skull fanatic. Love it or hate it, you'll still talk about it.

Luimoto Ear Plugs Key Chain Case
For those that wear ear plugs when they ride, Luimoto designed a keychain with an attached ear plug case. Sometimes the simplest ideas are some of the best.

Full spectrum Power Pulse Battery
Orient Express is proudly carrying this new compact battery that's made from Lithium-Ferrous batteries and has enough juice to power a standard sportbike. It's designed for the racer with an average weight savings of seven pounds for just under $250. While the weight savings might not seem like a lot for street riders, racers will appreciate the compact design that also allows them to mount the battery anywhere for better weight distribution and unlike traditional lithium batteries, Lithium-Ferrous will not catch fire. For safety's sake alone the battery is worth its weight in gold.
