honestly, I would seriously reconsider leathers unless you do more track than street. while a quality set of leathers is a good choice, they are notoriously inconvenient for ingress/egress (not to mention hot in the summer). you would do well to consider what type of riding you do the most and what will work best for you in most riding scenarios. before you go the full-on racer-boy route, check out either cycleport.com or aerostich.com. high-quality textile kit (both of these companies are primo!) is just as good (and in some cases better than) even premium leather suits + cost much less. I have a custom set of cycleport kevlar pants and they are outstanding. coupled w/ a good leather jacket, I am all good. definitely not track-day worthy, but excellent protection nonetheless. nothing against good leathers, but I find my kit suits my needs well (lots of commuting, mundane errands + lots of weekend strafing in the local twisties). it might not be a natty leather suit, but its a hell of a lot more practical + I can wear it over street clothes. if youre still sold on leather, check out z custom leathers or barnacle bill. just be prepared to bust out the benjamins + roast like a pig come july. --- [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok recently started riding about a month ago. Picked up a 99 sv650s. I love it. I like that the engine complains but still works around my bad gear selections. any way I got a textile icon jacket and some gortex technic pants. this combo will get me by but I am starting to think about a set of leathers. Frankly speaking, most leathers on the market are hideously ugly. I want a set of leathers that is mainly one color. think Uma thurman in kill bill. sadly I will blow your line of thinking by saying i am a pudgy baldy 31 yr old dude. basicly simply but a bright color. any one have any tips on a custom leather shop or possible a manufacturer that makes simply and bright. > > Keith ron alabanza fat rabbit designs H > 434.296.7904 W > 434.296.2886 C > 434.242.1067 F > 434.220.2887 E > [email protected] www.fatrabbitdesigns.com ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp
