    There may be some specialized pieces of equipment for it, but I'm not aware of them.
    i guess you are looking for back support like the ones here...

    i think these are available from alpinestars as well... the kidney belt is definitely available... not sure about the others though...

If you're experiencing discomfort in the lower back and knees, first you should consult a doctor. Second you might want to look at getting a "Knee Brace" and "Lumbar Support Belt". Also, softening the suspension of your bike and a change in riding position should help.
            I am not riding as much now a days, but yes, I think I beginning to hate trains (Again ), and cars are impractical for my kind of usage.
            So I intend to relocate to a place closer to office for weekdays....

            Nevertheless the bit of info has been great, I was thinking about investing in a full fledged spine protector, but I guess the Lumbar makes more sense! I am bit tall for the RTR so I guess the stance issue happens (Also special thanks to a loaded backpack!)
            My EVS knee bracers are stuck at US so should be in India shortly!

                    You could try New Enough Motorcycle Apparel sells motorcycle jackets, pants and suits, boots, gloves, helmets, etc :: New Enough, LTD. Their rates seem reasonable. I have never shopped with them, so I don't know the quality of service, but I have heard that they r spot on and seem to have a good reputation among shoppers.

                        Would seriosuly recommend newenough and bikebandit, both are trusted sites of US for riding gear...!!

                        Both have good quality products and have ample nos. in stock..

                          Bikebandit does not stock almostg anything, they simply procure material from their vendors when ytou place an order. Thats is exactly why they take a couple of days to ship out almost anything you order, and quite often after you place your order, you get a 'not in stock' email!

                          IMO Newenough, denniskirk * sportbiketrackgear are the way to go!

                            Touche.... NewEnough is a very good site, infact they were ready to send me another jacket free of cost considering that I had not received my parcel for about 40 days!!!!

                            Also an issue with BikeBandit is that they will never club up your orders, i.e. if you buy a few items each one will be shipped individually and hence you will have to pay taxes individually on it!

                            Didnt like Denniskirk and sportbiketrackgear websites so was afraid of shopping thru them

                            Manson.... Have you shopped with kneedraggers ... I have heard they are good!

                              What are the applicable taxes on apparel imports like jackets/pants/boots? Is it a flat 22% on everything?
