So as its getting colder, I seem to notice that my rally blue, mesh kawasaki jacket is no longer sufficient in keeping me insulated...... so i will be purchasing a leather one...... now herein lies my problem, i do not necessarily need a kawasaki jacket, (though it would be preferable) but i would like it to fit the color scheme of my bike (candy plasma blue)....... so since i know some of your guys, and gals, (mostly the guys...sad) are shop-o-holics..... i was wondering if anyone has run across a nice, matching, leather jacket....... resposes are accepted with gratuity in advance......

Me, me, me!!!! I'm a shop-a-holic!!

Icon Gear ( I believe MadKaw has one of these)

Alpinestars (I believe Gerg has one)

Dennis Kirk website

and some more!

And just because, I can personally speak on how good my gear is (even though it is not leather), here is a link to the company that makes Rhyno (it is warm)

My Icon textile jacket matches my bike really well (same color as yours) but alas it is textile. I am also looking for a leather jacket to pick up over the winter. I thinhk i may go with THIS one. (not the white one the black one)

You're being picky! Just kidding, I know how ya feel, try finding gear to match a purple bike!

That is a nice jacket 056r! I like it!

There are some really awesome looking black jackets out there. I got stuck with having to get black gear too. It's not so bad though, black is my favorite color anyways. Have fun shopping

I prefer going with ICON, I have the solid black MOTORHEAD jacket and it is a great peice of leather. It has elbo/forarm, shoulder, and Back padsin it. It aslo has a removeable insulated liner with is great to take out on the warmer days. Here is a sit for the motorhead jackets. They have a blue one but I'm not sure if it will match your bike.http://www.metricbikes-superstore.co....php?cpath=110

Hope this helps.
