Hello everybody,
here and there I've stumbled over products where I thought: "That's cool!".
Things that are cleverly constructed and might make your life easier.

For example this lay over stand:


There was also the story of the inventor here at vital:
https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/My-Story-Lay-Over-Stand,…

Or this quick release triangel stand:



Or even this adjustable stand:


Ok, maybe I'm a bit heavy on bike stands Whistling but do YOU have some products in you mind where you thought: "That's cool, that's something different!" ?

I always thought that damper thingie that mounted to the rear axle (Kyle Lewis ran one) was
an interesting idea. I heard it actually worked, just never caught on.

Baja no pinch tire tool. I am a pro like most at changing tires and changed many inbetween motos but this tool makes it quick and effortless.

For me it's gotta be the helmet cam, even though it's not solely an mx product.

Decal works probably has tons of ideas but they just won’t release them til someone else does. Laughing

Scissor stand with wheels. Life changer for the back and you can roll it around in the shop.

Also, rear stands for RR bikes.

That quick release triangle would’ve seemed pointless to me about 3 weeks ago, now I think it’s pretty cool.

I added a little too much oil and was trying to drain some of it. The sight glass is on the right side so I was holding the bike level from that side. The stand fell out, so I’m squatted down trying to keep the bike from tipping while screwing in the drain plug 😂 That was almost a clown show

1. Seal Savers - the neoprene seal protectors prevent fork seal leaks. Fabulous product.

2. Risk Racing Seal Doctor - I've never met a leaking seal I haven't been able to "fix" with the Seal Dr. Tool.

How ironic.

SealSavers trap dirt and mud and make the seals go quicker. You must get a lot of use out of that Seal Doctor Wink

I see what you did there but not accurate. I've been doing this moto thing for 49+ years and Seal Savers are the most effective "invention" I've adopted. You just need to clean the "socks" when you wash the bike. FWIW, I have 1,000's of hours of test data supporting my claim and I swear by them. I've not had to use the Seal Doctor EVER on my Seal Saver equipped bikes. I use the Seal Doctor on friend's bikes whose seals are leaking and do not run Seal Savers. My friends typically install Seal Savers after I "repair" their leak with the Seal Doctor.

On a side note since you're looking to challenge a friendly post did you realize you get longer life out of sprockets and x-ring or o-ring chains if you don't lube the x/o-ring chain but rather just clean it when cleaning your bike? I've done controlled testing over 1,000's of documented hours and the data strongly supports my statement. My son and I run same exact bikes on same exact tracks riding same exact hours with one chain lubed and the other just clean and dry. The clean and dry x/o-ring chain/sprockets far outlast the lubed chain to the tune of right at 50% longer life expectancy.

Flame suit on but I'm being serious.
