Biltwell: The big news this year from the Temecula, California based
company has been of its ‘Lane Splitter’ helmet. Crafted around a
proprietary ABS outer shell and featuring a shock-absorbing EPS liner
with handstitched interior padding, cheek pads and Bio Foam chin bar
cushion, generous vents in the chin bar “get the air flowing, and the
outlet at the back lets hot air escape. The ‘Lane Splitter’ shield boasts
extremely accurate optics and glove-friendly, simple hinge mechanics for
high style and easy removal for replacement or cleaning”;

TecMate: Manufacturer of the market-leading OptiMate brand of
battery chargers, maintenance and diagnostic products, TecMate is at the
forefront of the effort to educate the market about the advantages, but
also very specific maintenance needs of the new generation of Lithium
Ion batteries that are set to dominate the motorcycle industry in the
years to come. The OptiMate Lithium 4s 0.8A (TM29x series) is the OEM
recommended battery saving charger and tester and the OptiMate
Lithium 4-bank x 0.8A (models TM484/485) is ideal for preparing new
lithium batteries before fitment. New shipping laws being introduced
will require that lithium batteries are shipped at no more than 30%
charge, so the batteries should be recharged before fitment. All OptiMate
Lithium chargers can reset the BMS in an advanced Lithium battery;
