Dainese Alien Perforated Leather Jacket A sports look and contemporary styling come together in this jacket dedicated to those in search of a technical jacket that provides protection at no expense to comfort and details, like the inserts in Nubuck leather and anodized aluminum.

Sizing for the Joe Rocket Hemp Jacket.

I see from the size chart that size small has chest of 38-40 and waist of 28-31. I have a size 32 waist, will the small still fit me or do I need to move up to size medium.
not if your chest size is between 38 to 40,moving up a size may make the shoulders a bit bulky.only increase to the next size if you intend to ware some layers of clothing for extra warmth.

Firstgear HT Overpants Shell Overpant is sized to fit over your clothes simply buy the size you normally wear Hypertex Waterproof/Breathable 330 denier Taslan outer shell Adjustable CE armor in the knees Padded hip protectors Articulated knee and seat for maximum riding comfort 2 front pass-through pocket openings for gaining access to internal pockets - protected by YKK rubberized zippers to keep moisture out 2/3 length side zip for easy on/off protected by exterior double storm flap to keep out the elements Adjustable side waist tabs for a custom fit Heat-resistant material on inner calf 10 conjunction zipper for jacket connection 2 year warranty
 

Is it possible to put hip armor, like knox or SAS-TEC, into these pants? Also, can the knee armor be upgraded?

Modification can be done but not recommended.it may cause stitching to fail due to the increase in size of armor,and also change the waist line fit

 Dainese N-Frame G Back Protector
Dainese N-Frame G Back Protector
Dainese N-Frame G Back Protector Features Back protector certified to EN 1621.2/2003 Standard (Lev. 2) Articulated plates in Astronmemory and Polypropylene foam sandwich Flexible construction Liner in double jersey PCT Patent Pending Specifications Choose G1 for Women's Jackets Choose G2 for Men's Jackets
 

Entry level, this back protector is Level 2?

What makes the Wave or Wave Air better? Also, customer comments say it is stiff and inflexible but the product description says it is articulated and flexible, can you comment.
i ll have to go with rider preference, all gear will feel a bit different from rider to rider,both give a certain level of protection.wave air is said to be a bit more comfort. all gear will break in with use ,some quicker than others...you must remember, its saftey protection, even the most expensive gear dont feel like a Posturepedic Mattress!

I'm riding an FZ6 with slightly more upright riding position but will be using this for trackdays.

Thanks!

 Armour Bodies Bodywork Suzuki GSXR 1000 05-06 Supersport
Armour Bodies Bodywork Suzuki GSXR 1000 05-06 Supersport
Armour Bodies bodywork has award-winning fit and finish that took the industry by storm when Armour Bodies scored among the leaders in every single category in the Roadracing World bodywork comparison. This bodywork was rated to have exceptional fit, the highest durability and was #1 in surface finish and flexibility. Armour Bodies is top quality bodywork that is made with unique resin derived from the Kayak racing industry, giving it the ability to withstand the rigors of the racetrack. We use only large sheets of fiberglass with minimal use of mill fiber - giving the part the best possible structural integrity. Each part is then hand sanded, individually fit together and finished in a high quality primer that is ready for paint after a light scuff. This bodywork will save you time and money every step of the way. The labor we put into the finish can save over 100 in prep time over other brands, as your painter will only have to give the bodywork a scuff before painting. The toughness of our large sheet fiberglass design together with our unique resin can help keep you on track after a fall - many riders are done for the day after cheap bodywork is left in shambles on the side of the track. Finally, our resin is fully compatible with commonly available fiberglass repair kits, giving your repairs much more strength and reducing the likelihood for the delamination common in repairs of other premium bodywork brands. Note Supersport kit allows your original seat to fit up with kit. Superbike requires a foam pad and does not accept original seat. Note Image is ZX10R Bodywork. Image is just for description. Product will differ from image. Note Supersport kit allows your original seat to fit up with kit. Superbike requires a foam pad and does not accept original seat.
 

is the bodywork for the 06 gsxr100 able to be used on street, lites etc. ? I need new for my bike as neighbor backed into it and knocked bike over,

no,unless you have the lights cut into the bodywork.and even then the fit an finish is not going to be perfect.
