New Leathers....

[lawrence567]

Morning Guys,

Hopefully putting down a deposit on a Brand Spankers K8 GSXR 600 this week.
But i also need to buy some new leathers.
Simple fact being when i bought the Yamaha i bought some 2 piece leathers with "Yahama" written on them.
Obviously i'd look a bit stupid riding a GSXR with Yamaha R Series leathers on it!
So where can i get a 2 piece suit from (hate 1 piece)!
That is quality and an affordable price?

Who cares what your leathers say? Why spend another £600+ just to look 'cool' on the bike. What not just get a panel stitched over the current set where the main logo is if you're that bothered? Personally, I suggest not looking like an 'all the gear, no idea, I've just been to the bike shop and got kitted out with everything' type dude..... Just my opinion though. Spend away if you're bothered what others think.

I just bought this jacket



will get the bottoms in 2 weeks time =] feels very nice on and comfortable armor in all the right places £250

It's not the looking cool bit, i dont necessarely want to match the leathers to the bike.
But i personally think i'll look a complete nob with Yamaha leathers on on a GSXR!
It's got Yam logo on the back both sides of arms, both sides of legs and all over the front, so its not exactly discreet!
It'd be like driving a BMW round with a Merc logo o

Did you not think you may have looked a nob with Yamaha written all over your leathers when you was riding the Yam?

Did this help remind you which bike you rode?

[lawrence567]

Haha nope, i bought the Yam bike as it was a bit older & in my price range at the time.
I had textiles but fancied some leathers, the yam ones for a 2 piece suit cost me around £200 with CE approved armour in them!
& i dont think it made me look as much of a nob as sports bike riders with knee sliders that've neevr been used

rest assured it does

what sort of money do you want to spend? you can quite often get some good deals on dainese gear, the last set of leathers I had by them cost about 350 quid instead of 700.

or if you're after cheap stuff RST, Wolf etc all do cheaper stuff. Pays your money takes your choices. As for where to get it, bike shops, ebay/internet

Hey we'll have less of that talk! You'll have me rubbing my knees against the barracks wall People already think I'm strange


Have Frank Thomas without kneesliders and Alpinestars with, for when I finally get brave/experienced and head off to Knockhill
