Universal : Riding Gear Thread

[vikram kumar]

Aha!! finally you got the jacket.. good for you bro. Cheers!

Thanks.

Of course these are not the original Fox Racing products. They are cheap replica's which will not protect you in a crash.

Try the DSG store in Pune for knee guards.

Tried DSG but they only have Astars and it costs about 3K which is above budget for me.
Any other ideas?
I tried cramster bionic they were cool but only size was too big to be carried around after the ride so i need something compact which can be carried in my backpack after the ride.
Please help

PS:Thanks for the replies

sorry to hear of your crash, and glad you are ok. If the jacket is not torn, it should be good to continue using. Check with kochumvk in Cochin G2G thread. He had repaired his jacket with the same material used in these jackets.

Lijo... If you know anybody who has DSG Nero, please look at the right shoulder and you can see the there is an extra piece stitched on it.. I think there is only a small hole on it. i thnk water will enter through it. that is why. And it is very new too.. sad to see that torn.. Is there any option????

hey aditya i tried the ridersdiscount website, i was surprised to see the stuff and all is quiet good quality, but i am confused with the 25$ shipping charges are they gonna charge you per unit the $25 shipping charges or is it like on the final total.

See the terms and conditions for more clarity and correct info. I guess they charge the US $ 25.00 on the total amount. You can order any no. of products and still pay only 25 USD on shipping. Duties may be levied for orders over 10k INR.

Guys I know its not a riding gear but where to put this query,has any one of you used Cramster Laplace 4.0,I am very much interested in buying,It can be used in short trips too..guys any review.?

IMHO the Laplace is a VFM riding bag. It has lots of space inside. I use it when ever I go on long rides. The helmet holder can hold the biggest of helmets without any issues. When not needed you can remove that part (if you feel it increases drag :P ). The build quality is also very good. I've lugged it around with couple of pairs of dress (including jeans), the toolkit (hehe) and other paraphernalia in it.. the straps are wide and has soft material and do not cause any pain. Plus they are easy to adjust - tighten by simply pulling it out, loosen by twisting the adjusting mechanism upwards, can easily do it even with gloved hand... At 1500 rs it very much a worthy buy...

Bro, have you used these portals and services before?

I'm asking because I tried to pick up a pair of boots from Sportbiketrackgear and the shipping cost quoted was almost as much as the boots! If I added the estimated cost of duties, I might end up paying more.

If you have done this before, kindly let me know also what and how you went about it as I need some stuff desperately too. Thanks.

Well, I havent tried it personally, but I know people who have tried these sites. They are very reliable. If you are planning on getting stuff shipped directly to India, you wouldnt be very pleased with the bill. But, if you have friends/relatives flying down from US, nothing like it!

Thanks dude. Will check them out.

Happy to help

Just to add, it is not waterproof.

Yes correct. Sorry I missed that. I always carry a big plastic sheet with which I cover the bag if the climate is not favorable.

Zayn, why dont you look at a Cramster tank bag instead ? Makes sure there is no weight on your shoulders.

[buvanrajd]

Are the protectors removable in the Cramster and DSG jackets ?

I want to use a CE Approved spine protector with DSG / Cramster Jackets(Not to wear separately , i want to replace the stock spine protector with the one I purchase separately
