I've been riding with a "rain" liner for my jacket tucked away nicely in my trunk for a while but every-time I use it, I get wet. It is usually the water running down the back of my neck and eventually soaking into me that way and the hood in this jacket prevents that completely.
When thee jacket came in we had nothing but dry and sunny days forcasted for the next 10 days so I did the next best thing and put them on along with the matching pants and had my wife spray me with the hose.
I stayed perfectly dry and didn't overheat and the material is wonderfully breathable. It feels almost like paper but I get the impression it will hold up well and a buddy of mine with the same suit has had his for two seasons and it has seen plenty of wet and still looks good.
Two weeks later I had an opportunity to ride through a medium soak on the way home and my legs and chest stayed perfectly dry and the breath-ability on the highway was great!

I have been stalking the Frogg Togg suits for a while and they always seem to be out of stock in my size when I stumbled upon the fact that they sell the pants and jackets separately and I snapped them up.

It is usually the water running down the back of my neck and eventually soaking into me that way and I never really minded getting my pants wet until it happened on my way to work one day and I had a miserable day in the office because of it...

I wasn't looking for a new motorcycle jacket buy my daily fall/spring street wear jacket was 10 years old and wearing out so for once, I was looking at style over function but wanted something I could hop on the bike with if need be.
This jacket is made from first rate material (good sturdy leather, great zippers, etc) and the inner liner keeps you warm and toasty. It's early in the Ohio season so I've ridden down to 42 with the liner and I feel comfortable without the liner at 50 with the air vents zipped up although the jacket tends to balloon up on the highway that way.
It got up to 68 degrees one day and I opened the vents and took it for a 60 mile ride and it was just great. The venting lets in the air in just the right places and I would think the jacket good to ride up to mid-high 60's without issue.
I wish the jacket had places to stuff armor in but that is my only complaint. For people who want a bad-a** looking jacket that will keep them more warm and protected than a cotton shirt, I highly recommend this jacket!

Icon Pursuit Perforated Gloves Fits like a glove... Youve heard it a thousand times, so have we. What actually defines how a glove should fit We think the new standard is Icons Pursuit glove. Supple sheepskin leather conforms to your hand. Plastic knuckle armor for protection, but hidden for a refined look. All over perforation for all day comfort. Reinforced goatskin palm to combat those nasty encounters with the asphalt. Try it on for yourself and then decide. This is what a glove was meant to be. Pittards sheepskin chassis for great fit Goatskin leather palm overlay for durability Integrated knuckle armor for protection Secure wrist closure keeps the glove in place Expansion gussets to improve overall flexibility Snap to keep gloves together while not in use

I bought this pair of gloves to replace my first summer-glove purchase which was a cheap $30 pair of gloves I bought before I know how much I would love riding.
My fist set lasted 2 seasons and 10k miles but I wanted something sturdy and leather.
The problem I have with glove breath-ability is that my bike has hand-guards on it which blocks most of the air so I need to get what I can and these gloves do just that.
In the perforated areas where there is no armor, I can actually see my skin through the perforation and the air flows freely.
I haven't had a chance to test these in a crash so no comment there.
As to comfort, they fit my 2XL hands just fine and I usually have trouble getting the pinky finger to fit having slightly longer ring-fingers (must have been born next to a power station of something).

I bought this glove after a friend recommended it after a cold morning ride last October in North Eastern Ohio.
I commute to work and we have had a few mornings sitting right at 50 degrees already in the Cleveland Area this year and I can honestly say these gloves worked perfectly.
I had them in the rain last week and my hands managed to stay dry and I still had plenty of grip on the throttle and controls but to be fair, I have hand-guards on my bike and they keep most of the wet out as is.
The protection on the fingers rubs me a big raw at times, especially when my had is gripped around the controls, but that is starting to break in.
Overall I am very pleased with this glove considering the price. I don't ride much below 40 degrees

I bought this jacket thinking it would be an all-year jacket and nearly roasted to death during the summer.
The chest venting just doesn't pick up enough air for those scorching summer days and even with the tiny fairing on my V-Strom, I just couldn't get enough air even with the outer sleves zipped off...
That being said, this is my go-to jacket for Spring, Fall, and the little winter riding I do.
The inclusion of a thermal and rain liner is great and the jacket has kept me warm down to 38F if I wear two layers underneeth my jacket.
I have no had any issue with snaps or zippers breaking on me and have about 5k miles in this jacket.
The proection feels good and thankfully, I have not had a chance to test it yet.
I wish the back-padding was not a single-piece but a couple different pieces. I hav e to bend it quite a bit to tuck it into my luggage and the one time I managed to tear the matieral once when I forgot to take the back armor to clean.

I bought this trunk to go on the back of my V-Strom and it was advertised as a two-helmet trunk.
I wear an XL and my wife wears a XS to S and I cannot get both our helmets in it without doing some serious dammage. That being said, if it is just me, I keep my laptop bag in the trunc for my morning commute and my XL Shoei in there during my workday and I'm happy with the setup.
Like ALL Givi products, once the base plate is installed (I use the V-Strom specific plate), getting the case on and off is brainless.
I went with a the matt finish and installed the luggage rack and backrest without issue.
Overall, I believe the product is worth it but is you really wants to keep two helpmet in, I would spend the extra cash ang get the 55 liter trunc. It's not that much bigger...

I bought this along with an E36 to use as side-cased on my 2009 V-Strom because my left and right brackets are at different depths and I wanted the bike to be symmetrical.
I have a V46 as a topcase and I like the quality of that better but overall, for the price, these cases can't be beat! Two of them together are cheaper than the specialty side-cases and I still like the look.
The reflective stickers they include with it are not that good and you need to put them on yourself. I have never gotten the hand of stuff like this and my lines are not perfect but they are reflective and I'm happy with the look.

I purchased this lock kit because I wanted all my Givi cases to have the same key. The install was brain-dead simple on my V46 and E45. I really don't need 6 keys but I'm not going to complain over a surplus...

This is my third helmet and after wearing out my HCJ Draco, and not liking a Nolan N103 (to heavy and wrong shape), I decided to try the Shoei.
The first thing I noticed was the quality of the interior. The material is soft and just feels better.
I wear a 2XL HJC, and the Nolan 2XL was too small; however, the Shoei was a perfect fit at XL.
I installed my Sena SMH10 without major issue. The lack of a removable liner makes it a littler harder to run the speaker wires on the inside of the helmet but I got the job done.
The noise level is the best I have ever owned and I did notice a difference with the chin curtain installed. On my HJC, I had to have the Sena cranked at full volume to hear my music but I turned it down to about half volume with this helmet.
The ventilation is superior. I have never felt much of a breeze from any of my helmets but this helmet rushed air over my head and feel good at highway speeds.
I ride a 2009 Suzuki V-Strom with a MadStad adjustable touring shield. I have it set to blow the air right across my head right now (heat wave an all).
Yes, I recommend this product.

Hi regarding sizeing of river road hoodlum vintage leather do thay do a short sleve option ?
I am 5"4 so a 34in sleeve would be draging on the ground, Hmm it sucks to be a short !!
Do river road do custom fit maybe ?
Could the sleeves be hemd ? ( by leather expert )

They didn't do a custom fit when I asked. Most shoe repair places will fix leather jackets (broken zippers, whatnot) but I wouldn't go that route to re-make the jacket.

What adapters or racks would I need to get with the V46 to install on a 2012 V-Strom 650?
This is a new bike for 2012 with a new luggage rack design from the former Suzuki DL650s, do you know what I would need to install a V46 on one?
2012 was the Year Suzuki changes things up. I know the side racks are different but you may be able to "make" it work. Take it apart and see where the holes line up and if it's close try it, if not, send it back and call Givi. They actually answer their phone and can can give you a part number if Revzilla can't.
Enjoy your strom, I love mine!

Does this jacket have pockets for inserting CE armor in the elbows and shoulders?
Nope but I'm thinking of sewing something into the liner. Kevlar would be nice too but nadda. The leather is nice and thick but will still burn out after 100 feet or so like all other leather. Great jacket otherwise...

What GIVI Monokey case will allow me to stow my Shoei Multitec (size med) on my 2010 Yamaha FJR. Planning a multiday 3,000 mile road trip. Need top case mainly for helmet storage. And what case color best matches the Yamaha Liquid Silver color of the bike.

Depends on the size. I fit an XL Shoei Qwest with a Sena Bluetooth mounted on it in my V46 and I imagine you could fit up to a single XXL Multitech. They market it as a 2 helmet case but I've only been able to fit two helmets if they are L or smaller helmets; otherwise, it's a single helmet case.

Capacity 41 liters per case. Max. load 22 lbs/case
Are these sold as a pair?

will this product fit on a 2000 suzuki hayabusa?
Look for a Givi bike-specific mount for your bike, SW-Motech makes a side-mount for Givi luggage and you could buy two and mount them as side-luggage. I use E45's for my side luggage which are just as big and I think they look okay.
The V46 does come with a generic mount you can try to hook up if your brave.

Qwest Shoei Logo Removable?
Is the overly huge Shoei branding on the front of the helmet removable? I was able to take it off of my old RF1000 without a lot of fanfare, but this looks to be 'captured' onto the helmet. I love Shoei's products but the branding is excessive IMHO. Maybe not enough to chose another helmet - as I have a 'Shoei Head' - but I am put off by the size and location of it, especially if it is integral to the helmet.
I have the mat-silver Qwest and am unable to remove the logo. The gloss one might be different but IMHO it's not too bad.

I used Epoxy to put some steel washers on the underside of the plastic fairing really just to keep the flaps from blowing around in the wind too much. The main magnets that stick to the cap are strong enough to hold the thing on in the most aggressive riding I can do...

Icon Pursuit Perforated Gloves Fits like a glove... Youve heard it a thousand times, so have we. What actually defines how a glove should fit We think the new standard is Icons Pursuit glove. Supple sheepskin leather conforms to your hand. Plastic knuckle armor for protection, but hidden for a refined look. All over perforation for all day comfort. Reinforced goatskin palm to combat those nasty encounters with the asphalt. Try it on for yourself and then decide. This is what a glove was meant to be. Pittards sheepskin chassis for great fit Goatskin leather palm overlay for durability Integrated knuckle armor for protection Secure wrist closure keeps the glove in place Expansion gussets to improve overall flexibility Snap to keep gloves together while not in use
Need help choosing a glove for nice weather commuting in the $55-60 range
I have narrowed it down to the icon pursuit or Cortech Accelerator Series 2 but maybe you have another one to add. I ride a Honda Silverwing so dont want anything too flashy or aggressive. Looking for some protection if I lay it down. I am in the Chicago area so it needs to be a warm weather glove. I will ride between mid-spring and mid-fall so 1.5-2 season glove should be fine. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks
I wear the icon persuit in weather from 90-50 without issue and it is a great vented glove. It is cut off at the wrist so if you want protection there look elsewhere.
Overall I'm thrilled with the glove!

Can I order these with a specific key
I have a V46 Givi topcase and want to order either E36, or E45's for my side cases but want to make sure I only have to keep one key. Can I order them with a specific key?
I just spoke with Givi after being refered to them and they way to make them work is to order the Givi matching key set Z228 which Revzilla sells for $30. You get three replacment cylinders, sleeves, and 6 keys.
