This back protector was put into my 2011 Teknic Chicane Leather Jacket and helped me come out of a hard 40mph lowside almost without injury. I won't go into detail, but I felt very safe with this integrated armor.

I went through 2 sets of these tires on my Ninja 250, both sets got atleast 6-8000 miles before needing to be replaced
These are very soft tires, but they handle very well in all conditions. Very progressive turning feel, you don't fall into corners, you glide in and out.
You will not be disappointed...

Been through a few rains in this jacket, I would recommend to keep moving though, there isn't too much air flow at slow speeds.
There are tons of dry pockets and it looks great.
Build construction so far is holding up and looks like quality work.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good air flow for those hot summer days, and looks cool in black. One thing I so wish they had on this glove was hard thermoplastic sliders on the palm. Coming from experience of seeing the "shiny" stuff on the road, it's a natural human reaction to put the hands down first. Even in a 40mph lowside I wore through all of the carbon knuckles and palm sliders in my A*s SP-2 gloves.
Other than missing the sliders, these gloves are very flexible once you get them broken in.
Yes, I recommend this product.

These are my first full length boots and...wow they are awesome. They broke in about 1,000 miles, in fact I think getting them a little wet from use helped. They are super comfortable and a very supportive.
I will tell you, they WILL protect you in the event of an accident. I had a hard 40mph lowside on a 1000cc supersport, due to sand in a turn. I wore through half of the left toe slider, but other than that, just a slightly twisted ankle. Without these boots I might not be walking for a long time. Anyways, you can put your trust in these boots to protect you....tried and tested.

I've been through quite a few super heavy sever thunderstorms with this suit, and let me tell ya, you stay dry. The quality is ok, and the fit is a bit large, but if you wear gear that's fine. You are very visible to other riders as well.

Definitely good sounds comes from this compact package. The only beef I have about it is the annoying female voice that talks to you when ever you turn it on and off.
Sound quality is good and easy to hear until about 80mph, but that also depends on your hearing, the helmet or hearing protection you use.

I've used a lot of different quick detailers and polishers, on both cars and bike. This one is by far the best one, nothing compares. This one really cleans very well, including melted rubber off the tires, bugs, hard water spots, etc.
It also leaves very little if no streaks, just give it a little swipe with the microfiber cloth and you're good.
Get two bottles though, they tend to be a little small for my liking.

I've only had these on my Ninja 250R for about 500 miles, but these tires rock!! Cornering is so planted, it's a controlled lean, you don't fall into it unlike some cheaper tires. Braking performance is good, and these also work ok with cooler weather (not ice though). Wet performance is outstanding, standing water, hard thunderstorms, slow speed, high speed, these tires will handle it all with ease.

These boots have a cardboard foot bed underneath the inner sole, so if any moisture gets in, like sweat or rain, these will fall apart in days. The exterior finish is fine, but the "shift pad" on the toes will wear through with in weeks of use.
Ventilation is fine though.
