    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Extreme Supply small review

I recently bought myself a helmet from them, a little older - Snell M2000 rated - but NOS. And very inexpensive. But this is a quick review of the seller, not the product ;)

Shipping was fair - $13 on a helmet for basic FedEx Ground - but quick. They are in the LA area, so I ordered it on a Sunday and got it on that Tuesday. YMMV in other parts of the country :D

The helmet's box was nicely packed into a larger box. With my XL head, its a pretty big box ;) . There wasn't a packing slip though, but I've noticed thats gotten alot more common in the last few years. Companies seem to think an email is good enough...

Speaking of emails, I never contacted customer service as I had no need, but I recieved an automated order confirmation email and a shipping notification email - which is 50% more than I usually get. The shipping email also included the FedEx tracking #. I personally hate having to log into "my Account" on a web site just to see if my orders shipped yet or to get the tracking number.

I'd recommend them to anyone who wants some protective gear that might not be brand new from the manufacturer (seems an awful lot like what newenough.com stocks)
 
I happened to come across the Extreme Supply site a couple days ago, while scoping out a new HJC helmet. New Enough prices seem to be a few $$ cheaper in most cases, but I did not factor in the shipping charges and policies, which may well be different between the two.
May I ask for a small review on the new helmet with brand/price/user impression?
Thanks,
Tony.
 
I picked up a M2R full face on closeout. VERY cheap. They do have free shipping on $100+ orders, but I was no where near that ;)

The helmet: I'm not totally ready to write a review of it, haven't ridden with it yet - there's some carb problems in my way first... But everything about the helmet seems pretty good - its not too heavy, there are minimal plastic doodads tacked on (which might hurt its cooling though), the visor is a little thin and the ratcheting mechanism feels a little fragile, but on par with other helmets in the ~$100-125 range. Came with a very thin cloth bag, not fleece. I can write a better review of it in a few weeks.
 
Scorpion EXO 400

Scorpion EXO 400

Hi,
I had a great experience with them too. I bought a helmet and gloves from them last year. You can absolutely steal an EXO 400 from them on any given day. Just watch the closeout section. Mine was new and fresh--expiration date was still a few years out.

I took advantage of their free shipping by picking up a pair of Shift summer gloves to put my order over $100.

Cheers,
Lyle
