303 Cycle first review of the CNC Billet Roll-N-Click Sportbike levers JPR Performance, Priced at $129.95 a Set.

Roll-N-Click Levers were designed to fill the void in the motorcycle industry for quality aftermarket performance parts at an affordable price. These levers were built with the needs of the riders of both street and track in mind. With JPR run by avid racers and motorcycle riders, these levers were built for fellow riders. The focus for the Roll-N-Click Levers was to build an affordable product for the street and track rider.

JPR Levers are built with an adjustable reach called "Roll-n-Click". Easy lever adjust let's rider decide the distance from the handle bar to the lever and create a prefect fit. Street or Track, our levers are the Choice of Riders.

-Machined Billet 6061 T6 Aluminum
-6 position Roll-N-Click Adjustment
-Laser engraved JPR logo
-Stainless Steel Fasteners
-Precision Sealed Steel Bearing






303 Cycle's first look. Being skeptical, we brought a number of these levers into our store to get a first hand look at the construction and quality.  The fit and finish as a good as any levers on the market IE. CRG, Pazzo ASV.  The dial works flawlessly however, it is not as smooth as the CRG because it does not incorporate an additional ball bearing for the adjuster to roll on.  With that said, a majority of riders have a set it and forget it approach when using aftermarket levers.  If you are looking for the absolute best lever on the market I would steer you toward the CRG levers.  However, if you are looking for a great product at a great price the Roll-N-Click levers are what you are looking for.  These levers come in Black, Gold, Silver and Titanium with either a Black or Red dial.  These Levers also only come in the short lever length.

To promote these levers we have a racers specials.  Buy a set of JPR levers form 303 Cycle and receive one free crash replacement from 1 year of purchase.

Requirements:

Icon AirFrame Lifeform Carbon Helmet

Carbon - the fundamental structure of all life - incredibly light, unbelievably strong. Icon has used this fundamental element to produce there lightest helmet ever. The shell is formed with Icon's unique dry molding technology which allows for exact placement of carbon material.

This controlled placement provides reinforced structure without adding weight. Indeed, weighing in at a mere 1450 grams, the Carbon life form is a prime example of the most modern of helmet manufacturing technologies. Of course the weight savings benefit is matched by the vastly superior venting system used in the Airframe. Where the other manufacturers imply venting the Airframe truly delivers.

If you have the means Icon Helmets highly recommends acquiring this truly unique Icon Airframe Helmet. You will not be disappointed.

Icon SpeedMetal Helmet


Evolved & refined. Icon has never been satisfied with the status quo - which is why they created the new Icon Alliance helmet. Based on the proven Alliance SSR, this nexgen helmet is fitted with a multitude of key refinements. The first revision is the new EPS liner. They listened to the customers’ requests and reshaped the EPS liner into a more oval geometry. This new headform increases rider comfort by slightly elongating the entire inner circumference. Combine this geometry with our removable Hydra-Dry wicking comfort liner and the result is a nearly perfect rider focused enclosure. To further increase rider comfort they revised the entire venting system. Much like a finely tuned motor, they reshaped and enlarged the intake and exhaust ports for increased airflow. Additional ventilation ports have also been added to the lateral aspect of the helmet to further increase ventilation.

The shield itself has been upgraded to Icon’s distortion free Pro-Shield. Continuing with their commitment to excellence, the Alliance is constructed with premier manufacturing processes and stringent quality assurance procedures.

It was once said that slow is good - but we all know fast is better. And so it is with the Icon Speedmetal Helmet. The next generation of full coverage tonality from the Icon Helmets. A deviant interpretation of life beyond society’s norm. Indeed...fast is always better.

    Dunlop Q2 Motorcycle Tires



    The Best Priced Dunlop Q2's can be found at www.303cycle.com

    The new Q2 incorporates race-tested advancements that add up to a vastly superior tire equally at home on the street or the track. 
    • Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) technology in the rear tire intuitively allows the rider greater latitude in line choice while cornering and provides amazingly linear steering no matter what shape, speed or camber the corner, and at all lean angles. 
    •  Radical new profile puts down a bigger footprint at extreme lean angles while also allowing greater lean angles and higher corner speeds to provide substantially better grip and handling. 
    •  Dunlop's advanced Multi-Tread technology combines the benefits of a tough, long-wearing center compound for increased mileage with a special lateral-grip compound on each shoulder for superior cornering traction. 
    •  New carcass construction in both the front and rear tires includes newly designed continuous hex beads that are both lighter and stronger to enhance steering response in the front tire and increase cornering stability in both tires.  
    • Q2 rear tire features a newly developed, stiffer version of Dunlop's Jointless Band (JLB) construction that utilizes a continuously wound aramid belt for reduced carcass distortion, plus stiffer overall construction to meet high-performance demands and provide a more consistent contact patch.
