Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[justyhere]

Missed to ask about Tankbags as well. I have Yamaha R15 . Which one would be suitable for my bike.

Bro.. Alpinestars without a doubt. Alpinestars tankbags are universal fit..

Go to On The Rocks - Adventure Store for more details.. Price-5.2k.

The same one is sold in Planet Dsg for 10k.

Or you could look at Cramster's tank bag which is much cheaper in comparison. Swallows quite a bit of luggage as well.

@TIBBY

Hey thanks a lot
Solved most of my doubts.
I wont be riding in the rain so rain protection is not necessary.
I live in pune so winters are not really cold
So is it still ok to check out the Mesh jacket "R15"?

The R15 jacket seems suited then. Just check the armours though, not sure if it is a s good as the ones provided by DSG & Cramster. Pick a jacket with shoulder, elbow & back protectors.
The Breezer from Cramster is also a good option, with detachable water-proof lining. Use it if need be.
Compare & choose the best one. Do keep us updated

Head to wellington, you will have few A*(fake) on display(approx a year ago).

better to be safe than sorry(at least fake ones shall provide some protection).

Ok thanks...let me see..have to preserve my pocket money from now on!are those jackets any good?one of my friends says that they are original but smuggled into the sub-continent!

The KBC stocked by them are fake as well,

Your friend is wrong, though the tag does claim to be 'the' original, but it isn't.

a* has amazing finish and not a thread shall be double-stitched, everything falling in place with amazing feel to it which the fake ones lack.

even my gloves are counterfeit, so i have got R15's gloves for the moment(great fit and very soft)

I would put the counterfeit A*in almost similar league to DSG/Cramster(pricing is almost same too), even Bombay/Pune have their share of counterfeit A*/Dainese

Hey guys , I have ultimately decided on DSG Nero Jacket ......
What do you think about it.? Any suggestions.?
I am going to mostly use them for 75% city riding & 25% Touring on my P220......
What say.?

[Sunnyside_up!]

You're right it does not have the liner - I bought the 2.0 four months back.

@ Tibby - In my opinion the Cramster is a good jacket - no real complaints except that I got the sizing wrong. I bought a XXL instead of my correct size, XL - I foolishly bought a size larger for comfort, completely forgetting the primary safety function.

I'm now thinking of getting a new one - (the right size this time ), so I'd like feedback from someone who has tried other jackets too. I'm sure the A-stars from Planet DSG or even Joe Rockets from Performance RS would be very good, but is there someone who has graduated to these from Cramster/DSG? Are they really worth paying double for regular daily use?

Also does anyone know of a light-weight model with the armour that would be convenient to carry around once you're off the bike? The Cramster Breezer 2.0 is a heavy jacket to sling over your shoulder when you reach your destination - so I find myself wearing it instead of carrying it.
