I think I am going to upgrade my riding gear soon. Any products you guys highly recommend. Trying to save myself some time here.

In my sportbike days, I really liked my Dianese leather jacket. And, my Alpine Stars mesh. It was great - warm in the cold, and not bad in the summer. The Alpine Stars jacket had some sort of small padding on the front/chest area that blocked the wind etc. It had your normal armor in the elbows, shoulders and back plate.etc. Though, it's not a full on mesh. The sleeves and back are textile. the front chest is mesh.
Essentially the same jacket but with Cammo where the white is. Also had a few sturdy snaps (not the cheap ones, but the big solid ones) on the sleeves. Alpinestars T-GP Plus Air Mesh http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/d....php?id=274387 I also liked my boots. They weren't full on trackboots, but damn close. Surprisingly comfortable on the bike. However, walking around with them required me to undo the velcro. I have these in black. Good price too if I recall - about $110? AXO Primato II http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/d....php?id=307167 Summer Gloves I have these. In fact, I still ride with them on the Harley. 'Decent' cold protection, and not too hot in the summer. Alpinestars Octane S-Moto http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/d....php?id=206675 Overall I'm a fan of Alpine Stars. |

Edit: To me, getting to try on the gear before buying is very important... why i don't generally buy online stuff. I've bought helmets that just were flat out uncomfortable, or leather gear that was cheap as shit quality etc online... been bit too many times to keep going that route. |

some good deals to be had; though sometimes limited on sizes. which is expected since I think a lot of there stuff is picked up from retailers that aren't selling (I think). |

Speaking of online ordering.....I just ordered these Harley "Greg" boots (made by Wolverine). That's a great price if anyone else is interested. http://www.barnettharley.com/newslet...n=store-slider |

I started riding with a Helmet all the time the past couple years and man my neck will start to hurt with the current heavy lid I have.
Anybody have recomendations on good helmets? I like the Modular Flips. |

you have a Power Commander or Fuel Pak?
If you're not planning on changing any internals, cams etc, and don't really care about going to a dyno, I would recommend some sort of fuel enrichment system. The iEDs are a great alternative to a Power Commander or Fuel Pack. Hell of a lot cheaper and will work for 95% of your riding. There are others out there, but just to give you a reference etc. http://sales.nightrider.com/XiED-Fue...ement_c_1.html Also with the HiFlo AC, but sure to look into breather bolts even better a crankcase breather set up for it. It'll save you from having oil mist on your bike. |
If I decide to go with a full pipe, I'm getting the Python Throwbacks for my Seventy Two.
http://www.2040motos.com/_content/ca.../11232/002.jpg Otherwise the 3" Python Mamba slip-ons. I've seen some kick as custom pipes, but there's no way I'm spending 10% of the price of the bike on pipes. And, a lot of them are very very short. which will sound killer, but I'm not sure I want to sacrifice the power down low. |
