The new Richa leathers i bought didn't really fit properly, so i sold them on Ebay.

Picked up this set of BKS cheap.

Got this lid a while ago, but finally got the Marquez kit fitted.

Pretty pleased 😎

Not even sure I’ll wear it much, it’s just a pretty cool to look at, plus I can’t ever see me having a Honda.

Well they're on. Decent fit and look ok imo. They give good cover for the heated grips and heated gloves. 👌

Comments welcome. 🙉

Those hand guards look ok actually and they also mean you dont need to fit a brake guard for track days as its a complete cover ;)

If you ever need to go full winter rider then they are also brilliant to fit of Tucano Urbano muffs over :thumbup:
