      Thanks guys. The thing while I have done some research it's because I have no hands on experience with any riding gears...not even helmets. So just wanted more experienced riders to clear my doubts. With the peanuts that they pay a low level guy in IT buying these gears means investing a few months of my salary savings (which I am ready to do), but I don't want to buy something and then realize I could have got a better deal (with regards to safety and usability).

      If you guys (or anyone else) can give your opinions (even those which you have heard from your biker friends) I would be really grateful for the same.

        I dont recomend Cramster or DSG ... becuase i use 2 cramster jacket for a year now and the quality should have been better. Used a DSG riding pants and got torn in the sides after the first ride. Rynox wont disappoint neither does TBG. and TBG has a upper hand in their product, be it gloves, Jacket or boots. They are all VFM products. You can also get sas tec level 2 armors from solace website. I have visited the solace office in kanakpura road bangalore to purchase the roha short boot for my daily commuting. They seems to be good and quality product, however need to wait for a long term reviews and opinions. Aspida ( Spartan) also is a very good brand from the forums and reviews that i have heard ( not used them personally though). Hope this helps.

        Note:- What i have mentioned above is my personal thoughts, any other personal may have a different opinion or experience with the brands mentioned above. Just shared my thoughts.

        Thanks

          Me too would suggest Rynox jacket and later on pants by the same. I have no experience with TBG so can't suggest.
          Boots, do check orazo boots . Sturdy and tested by most tourers.
          Gloves, TBG has made a good name for themselves.

              Bikers,

              I would like to buy Paddock stand for my Ninja 300. I checked online and found the price is too high on most of the known websites. However I found a good one at reasonable price on redlineplus.in. I have never ordered anything from this site till date. has anyone bought accessories from this site? by budget is less than 4K, I would be glad to take your suggestions if there is an alternate.

              My apologies if I have posted this on wrong thread, didn't find a relevant one.
              Regards,

                There are 2 versions of the stand in redlinelus.in
                1. With spools- U'll have to buy additional swingarm spools. But, it's more stable.
                2. Without spools (Good enough, I'd say). I've been using one. No probs so far.

                    Head to G A engineering page on Facebook buddy. You can order one from there. I got one for my CBR250 for 2.4k. very good quality paddock for that price!

                      hi buddy

                      i ll try to let you know some points,

                      Jackets - TBG is good option comes with the SAS TEC Level 2 armors all over & it is a mesh jacket having rain & thermal liners with 7950/- approx i dont know exact.
                      construction & as per safety it is good no doubt. good reviews it has

                      Tornado Pro comes with knox level 1 armors with rain & thermal liners worth rs. 7450/- several good reviews.

                      solace defender comes with SAS TEC level 2 armors at elbow & Shoulder with CE level 1 back but its not a mesh one its is cordura construction riessa stitched inside
                      & thermal liner is removable comes price rs.7100/- not heard any complaints yet

                      its depends upon you if you comfortable in mesh construction or cordura.

                      one more thing heard about the TBG rain liner is not that much working in rain. So if your concern is not that much for rainy season then
                      go for TBG or else Rynox

                      for shoes there are reviews in this forum itself i read & on other sites also see below if can help you out.

                        Thank you Sanjay for the help. I checked with Gaurav from G. A. Engineering and he quoted 2200 rs for it excluding shipping. However can you tell me how's your paddock stand holding out? How is the quality? Is it strong enough? Also do I need swingarm spools? Is it universal? Can be used for duke 200/cbr/RC.

                        Thanks for the help

                          I am using that paddock stand from GA engineering for 1.5 years, I have a universal non spool one, earlier I was using for duke 390 and R15 V2.0 currently using same stand for my R3 and quality is good. It's a VFM product.

                              I'm using Gaurav's paddock stand with my ST, it's s good product. Quality and finishing are good.
                              Spools or no spools is up to you, as there are both variants that are sold. There stand is universal and should fit any bike. Just keep in mind the load tolerance.
                              The stand that I bought was 2.9k and cam hold up to 250kg.
