  1. Where did yo get it? Did you find a good price that you would be willing to share so others can get one too?  
     
     

     I got it several years ago from a local dealer, but Revzilla has it on closeout now...here  linky  Might I add that I ride rain or shine, including downpours where the roads flood and I shouldn't be riding and this jacket does fine.  I think that's partially the jacket , but mostly my stubbornness. 8-)  
     
  2. I currently have a Dainese Air Frame jacket. It's my only jacket and I use it for three season riding in New England, which is as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit​ up to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. My only complaints with it are the liner uses stupid snap and loops to attach it to the shell and with the liner in, it allows as much breathing as a plastic bag. dainese_air_frame_textile_jacket_black_black_zoom.jpg
  3. After putting in about 500 miles with my new Shoei Neotec, thought it was time for a review. In short this helmet is fantastic! 

    Agreed 100%. Love my Neotec! I used to wear only Arai because of their fantastic comfort and fit on my mid-oval head. But the Neotec matches it, then adds the drop down visor and convenience of a modular. 
     
     
    I'll add to that, I've had my neotech for about 12,000 miles between my previous svf650 and this bike and I have nothing but praise for it. I never go back to a non modular helmet, it's way too convenient. The quality difference between this one and my previous is astounding.
  4. Added the knuckle guard LEDs wired into the running lights and turn signals and I wired in the flash2pass off my old sv650. Since I had no luck with a service manual for this bike I went looking for other options. The new R1 uses the same led lighting system and I was able to find a service manual for that online. The wiring diagram for lighting matched of so I was able figure out which wires to tap into to make it all work.

  5. I bought the calsci short wind shield and am sorry to say it didn't do a darn thing for me. If I strain really hard and try to stick my torso up and then truck my chin to my chest the noise is almost gone. It must be a combo of where my head is in the air stream and hitting under my helmet to make all the noise. I am 5'11" with a 30" inseam and my helmet is a Shoei Neotec for reference.
