Ordered leathers

Trav-A$$ · 03-29-2008, 12:02 PM

Just ordered a pair of Kobe leathers! Has anyone had experience with these??? I was cool cause the style I wanted was gone so they gave me the better pair up for the same price. Now I just need my plastics and to get my ass too a track!

I tried a set of Kobe leathers once, they're cut a little british for me. (I'm tall and thick, they're cut tall and thin). Good build quality, decent fit and finish. They're good for trackdays and the occasional racer. Newer stuff is better then their old stuff.

Spend the money you were going to spend on plastics on a good set of tires (If it's your first trackday I'd go with Pilot Power 2ct's or better yet Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's) and go to the track. You don't need plastics right away, run your stock stuff (unless you have a custom painted bike).
