In to pimp KomodoGear, as it's some of the best stuff I've ever owned. Also, their custom-fit pricing is very nice.

What? Oh, and check your knee armor, it's more than likely not actually CE armor, probably just a plastic shell with padding under it.

For those that have the Arai helmets, how often do you change visors? After a while can you do it in the dark by the roadside?
Whenever I go from daylight to dark, I keep a high-def shield in my little riding pack to compliment my dark smoked daylight one and yes, it's easy as hell to do it in the dark, you just have to get used to it.

Changing Arai visors, for me at least, requires every curse word I know and occasionally the sacrifice of an innocent's blood.
Sorry man, this made me lol.

My Suomy on the other hand is a bit weird. You either need a key or a screwdriver to pop the sides off and then swap the shield out. But that helmet fits soooo nicely.
Yah, no poo poo, I finally broke down and grabbed a Suomy and just decided that it's a daylight-only helmet for me, gently caress that shield change poo poo of theirs, gently caress it up it's rear end.

Mapless likes it, I think it's cheaply made.
True on both counts, but it's held up well in various mishaps and I would be comfortable buying it again at some point in the future if I couldn't find anything better on hand.

I'm looking for saddle and tail bags for my Ninja 650. I'd like something that I can keep on my bike, so it needs to be fairly sturdy and have zippers that you can lock together.
I love Dowco's 'Fastrax' line.

Waterproof, built-in rain covers, tons of room and excellent fit and finish.

Panniers/tailbag runs around $300 and the tankbag is $130ish. Awesome stuff and built like a tank.

The dealer goes "normal wear and tear". Pigs arse, I didnt pay $500 for a lid to have it start falling to bits after 8 months.
Try calling or e-mailing Shark, Arai has sent me 3 different sets, based on nothing more than my mentioning that they seem a bit 'used'.

your experiences with inflatable girlfriends may not necessarily transfer over to inflatable helmets :iceburn:

However, I'm not willing to bet that an inflatable helmet WOULD last any longer than any of my (numerous) inflatable wimminz.

Is anyone interested in a pair of Sidi Vertebra Aire boots in sz44?

They're quite well worn but still a good set of boots for someone on a budget.

It's garage cleaning time again I think.

Somewhere between a 9.5-10.5 depending on who makes the shoe.
44 Euro works out to 10-10.5 US.

Since there was such immediate interest in the Vertebra Aires, is anyone interested in a size 42 pair of Sidi Vertigo boots? (They're not the Vertigo Corsa.)

They're in quite nice condition, having only been worn a few times.

Nono, I just see that apparently you went ahead and bought some pants, but would rather have others, I'm just confused and wanted clarification before offering some advice is all.

Sorry, not much to be honest.

It's my understanding that all former MotoGP branded items are now Berik items, which I learned while buying some of their knee pucks.

Leather for sale!

Both are Dainese 1pc suits and both are size 42US.

This is the 'Laguna Seca', worn a couple of times.

It has a small are where the outer part of the seam has come unstitched. Not a big deal, there's two there.

Does not come with cat.


Dainese Flanker.

It's got a little ripped area next to the crotch.


I've only worn each a few times, they need to go to fund my fork (and Gap trip) fund however. More pics available on request.

Seriously, cat not included.

I'm looking for around $950 shipped out of the Flanker. I just dropped both of them off to be repaired (at a proper leather shop) so you won't have the rip to deal with.

Retail on it was around $1400 or so if memory serves, you're of course welcome to make an offer as well.

Fully perforated leathers, with a waterproof windbreaker to go over it.

Rev'it just sent me a new rain suit to try that's pretty awesome. It's a thin membrane with holes cut out for your pucks, it's a 2-peice suit. I think retail's around $100 or so and it's well worth it so far. Rolls up into a tiny TINY package.

I dunno, I just don't like the thought of it at all (and I have no scientific basis for this) and it makes me shudder a bit.

I guess I just want my helmet to fit properly all the way around and not because I had a fancy Nike Air system on it somewhere to take up the slack. I just doesn't seem like a proper system to base the health of my head on.

Has anyone here actually had such a problem finding a properly fitted/sized helmet to the point they need an air bladder system like this or is it just the novelty?

Dainese has a proprietary zipper.

True.

Many jackets and/or pants come with the 'mate' to their zipper attached, all you need to (generally) do is have a tailor/leatherworker sew it in to the opposite piece.
