What’s up everyone? These levers have been five years in the making. We were second after CRG to come up with the concept but with Pazzo coming out with mass produced multi colored levers right after them, we decided to hold off and come up with a better product.
As you can see above, the first Lex Racing Levers were grooved at the front to conform to a rider’s fingers. We didn’t think this would be enough to kill the competition, so we went back to the drawing board. What we came up with, you can see below.
Now, the Lex Racing Lever is fully adjustable to fit all hands (unless you are a giant, or a baby). The clicker controls a roller cam assembly, giving riders the ability to manipulate lever position even while riding. Brake fade and clutch adjustments can be tuned as well.
Like our competition, they are of 6061-T6 CNC machined aluminum construction. However, not only do they have six clicks of adjustability, and the folding featured, they can be lengthened and shortened with ease.
We have definitely come a long way from the design above.
Hey guys, I am going shy away from writing about Remus exhausts and talk about a problem we as drivers have been facing. 2009 was a bad year for many of us in the automobile industry. With record low sales, repossessions, and record bankruptcy filings, buying new vehicles was the last thing on everyone’s mind.
Let’s do a quick recap of 2009, to prove my point. 2009 saw the birth and death of the disastrous Cash for Clunkers fiasco. Yes, dealers were able to move a few new models in the beginning, only to have the irresponsible default again on the new loans. Motorcycle sales were so poor that many Japanese manufacturers decided not to import 2010 models because the 2009 models were still sitting on showroom floors!
So, this brings me to my concern. What happens to auto insurance companies when no one is buying any new vehicles? Sure, people still have to insure their old cars, but with the economy the way it is, they probably stick with liability coverage only. With less new auto loan companies requiring full coverage, the insurance companies are making less money.
Enter discount auto insurance offered by online companies. By moving business online, companies cut out many costs associated with traditional offices. No office rent means less supply costs. No office equals less employees to pay. Employees working from home will use their own computers. Etc. etc.
But with so many of these discount auto insurance boutiques opening up, the quality of service tends to take a downward spiral. No more one-on-one face time with your insurance adjuster, because time is money, and they have many other clients. And with profits being razor thin, companies tend to watch out only for themselves, which in turn hurts the customer.
My point, and advice? Stick with the larger, more established auto insurance companies, if you can afford it. When and if you should be in an accident, it will pay off. However, if like the rest of the millions of other Americans, you are strapped for cash, and are a relatively safe driver, then by all means, try one of the discount auto insurance companies online.
If nothing else, they usually have great websites that are chock full of free information. Most of these discount auto insurance websites have different pages on how to apply for discounts, what to do if you need to file a claim, etc, etc.
What’s up guys? With an all new BMW Z4 for 2010, the guys over at Remus decided to put their all new exhaust design on the new roadster. They call it the new StreetRace Double tail pipe Ø 2.99″. Check it out in detail below.
The rear silencer with two tail pipes Ø 84 mm Street Race system fits both the Cabrio sDrive 30i 3.0l as well as the 25i 2.5l.
What’s up guys? Just wanted to show you the new Remus exhaust for the Ducati Streetfighter. It actually comes in two versions.
The first is the dual outlet slip on available in both stainless steel and titanium. The dyno graph is shown below.
The second version is what I think is the cooler one. It’s the HexaCone, High Performance Race System with a stainless steel header (2-1), conical tubes and Titan Race muffler. There is also a titanium racing version as well.
Here is the dyno graph below.
The 24-month warranty on all EEC approved systems, and 12-month warranty on racing systems is also in effect.
What’s up guys? I just want to let you guys know that we have the Remus HyperCone for the all new BMW S1000rr in stock. Looks like an awesome exhaust system for an awesome motorcycle!
The HyperCone comes in a Stainless Steel sleeve or a titanium one: your choice.
Hi guys, I’m here today for an update on our 2005 BMW Z4 3.0. The car currently has 37,000 miles on it and the brake pad light came on the other day. Thinking that it was a great time to upgrade with some aftermarket stuff, I hit the forums in search of some cool products.
The result? I ended up forking out uber dinero for genuine BMW rotors, sensors, and brake pads. Why? It’s a daily freeway driver, and it’s better to be safe than take a chance on some unknown company aftermarket products. You can see the new system in the picture below. Sorry for the dirty rim…
I’m sure you guys know how to bed or break in a new system but here are some quick steps for those who don’t know:
Step 1: Go to a smooth, flat road with no traffic.
Step 2: Accelerate to 30mph.
Step 3: Firmly step on the brakes and allow the vehicle to stop. DO NOT allow the brakes to lock.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed about 20 stops. Allow cooling periods between stops to bed the brakes properly.
What’s up guys? As a follow up to our previous KTM 950 Adventure video, a camera was mounted on the passenger seat, facing back. In the video below, you are able to hear the Remus roar to life as the rider accelerates ahead.
It’s kind of cool everything the rider lets the Adventure rip! Alright, stay tuned guys. As always, be sure to check out KTM Boards for more KTM fun!
Hey guys, check out the Remus HyperCone exhaust on the 2006 Suzuki Gsxr600. Will fit the 750 of the appropriate years as well.
A lot of die-hard Suzuki fans swear by Yoshimura and nothing else. But why follow the pack? Be unique. Get a Remus! Check out the video of the bike on the dyno.
Be sure to checl out Gixxer Boards for more Suzuki fun!
What’s up guys? So now that we have exhausts installed on most our staff cars, and growling like ferocious beasts I might add, we are looking into some engine tuning options. After scouring the online forums and stores, I came upon some interesting options to up car performance.
To increase automotive performance and fuel economy, the popular option nowadays is a performance chip. It’s a good idea too, to install an engine chip. It will probably be able to smooth out any choppiness that the Remus exhausts may have added. First up is probably our Z4s. In terms of general fuel economy, they both have the worst MPG. And we have a sneaky suspicion that the performance products we have added did gain more horsepower, but lowered fuel economy.
The 335i has been tuned like crazy across the Bimmer forums. Companies like Vishnu, Dinan, and JB2 have been fighting for the top spot. There are more options for the Z4s, like Ac Schnitzer, Hartge, and Hamman. The Nissan has more options. Check them out at Engine Performance Chip.
