Red Line Motorcycle Oils & Lubricants

Red Line recently released there specialized line of Motorcycle Oils & Lubricants. Although it doesn't have much to do with safety gear, we are a stocking distributor of Red Line Racing products (if this is news to you, check out the OG Racing catalog.) And as such, we took receipt of their motorcycle line!

See the complete line HERE.

From their website:
As part of Red Line’s all-new Powersports line, these High Peformance Motorcycle Oils are fully-synthetic formulas specifically created for the high demands of the latest high-revving four-strokes motocross bikes and ATVs, Sportbikes, and V-Twins. Available in popular viscosities of 10W40, 20W50, and 20W60, these ester-based products contain the anti-wear chemistry demanded by mechanics and enthusiasts.

The levels of zinc and phosphorus blended into these lubricants are among the highest in the industry and combine well with Red Line’s chemistry, designed to seal piston rings for more power, fight fuel dilution, extend drain interval and provide stronger film strength over a range of temperature. This oil also features lower levels of friction modifiers for superior wet clutch operation. Excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, cleanliness, and ability to lubricate hot metal make Red Line High Performance Motor Oil a superior lubricant. Recommended for JASO MB, API SJ, SG, & SH.

Shock Doctor Eject Helmet Removal System

This is a neat little safety device we just got in. The idea behind the Shock Doctor Eject system is simple - if a driver or passenger needs to be extracted from a vehicle after an accident, there is most likely going to be the risk of a spinal injury (you know the rule - don't move the injured unless you have to!) For the EMT or first-responder, removing the helmet is a high priority; but how do you do this without risking further spinal trauma?
Shock Doctor Eject Helmet Removal System
Originally marketed as the Hats Off Device, Shock Doctor Eject device was invented by a motorcycle racer that had his helmet violently removed after an accident. The device is simple - insert an inflatable bag between the helmet and the crash victim's head; inflate the bag and the helmet gently slides right off!


In our opinion, this is a device that EMT/track officials at ALL motorsport tracks and speedways need to be trained about and have in their tool kits. The Eject Device is so small and unobtrusive that it can easily be permanently pre-installed in any automotive or motorcycle helmet!
