CSC Black Friday Sale
The sale is now on their website... Says to use coupon code "113015" at checkout to get 20% off. Been playing around and it looks like you get 20% off each individual thing. As for packages, the shopping cart says "10 percent Extra Packages" but only takes $10 off the package price. Check out the website...have a dozen special deals with deep discounts on brake pads, tank bags, etc.

I ordered a centerstand, and 3 other small, light weight items...received the 20% discount but....the shipping was $38.25.
Has anyone else ordered accessories from CSC? What was your experience with shipping charges? I will think twice before ordering anything else from CSC that I can find from another vendor. jb

I agree that shipping seems a bit steep, but then I'm thoroughly spoiled by Amazon Prime's free two-day shipping!
Anybody have any experience with these helmets? http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/HJC-IS...m?1=1&CartID=0 20 percent off makes it a pretty decent deal, if it's a good helmet. Amazon reviews are generally positive, too.

Haven't tried one of those, but have you checked out Cycle Gear? They seem to have really good deals on their store brand helmets...I have one and love it.

I'd like to find one that has significantly less wind noise than the cheap ATV helmet I currently have-any suggestions?

I live close enough where I hope they offer pick up. This might be the time to pick up the 19 inch wheel.

Oh and I noticed that our bikes came with a skid plate. Is the one that's offered at $90 worth the upgrade? Is it that much better than what came with the bike??

That would probably depend on how much off-roading you plan, and how intense the terrain.

I ride my Honda CRF250X in the rough stuff. I bought my RX3 for street and adventure riding. Therefore, the stock skid plate is great for me. Engine oil changes are much less messy with the stock skid plate. However, if you ride your RX3 in very rough terrain, the aftermarket skid plate offers much more protection.

I have the CSC skid plate and I love it. If you ride a lot in dirt, it's absolutely worth it. It's very tough and wraps really high up the front of the engine. If you don't need the protection, it may not be worth it, because it's not as easy to remove for oil changes as the stock plate. You can still access the main oil plug without removing the plate, but the side oil filter ports will drip into it if you don't take it off.

I have the aluminum skid plate from CSC. Very well made.
To get around the oil change mess was easy. Took an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of hobby styrene (thin plastic) Cut the width with scissors so it slides in between the skid plate and bottom frame rail. Now any oil that drips out of screen openings or filter opening are directed Down the sheet and into your catch pan without a drop hitting the frame. If you can't picture it I will try to get a picture. It's so simple. |

The CSC skid plate looks very robust. I'd probably add that to mine pretty soon although I haven't hit the stock pan on anything yet. The stock skid plate is a heck of a lot better than the KLR 650 gets! You could probably add plate to it if you know how to weld for cheap. It's not that thin though and should take some abuse.

Good for you, mate. I took advantage of the deal to order a center stand. The new stands probably won't arrive until next year, but I am content to wait while I hibernate through the winter.
