Talking Couldnt wait for the bike... so i bought the gear ahead of time so.. hahaha

Havent gotten my bike yet, since I have part out all of my mods in my FX35... but i couldnt wait... so i purchased my gear!!!

Joe Rocket Atomic 3.0



Shogun No-Cut Sliders



Cortex HDX gloves



Puig Dark smoke windscreens




I'm looking into the helmet... probably a scorpion EXO 700 burst in blue... but i was looking into field armors... and it doesnt cover my kidney and tail bone... any suggestions?

Nice purchases, make sure you don't forget some boots and pants. I went down at about 30 mph the other day and got up without a scratch. If i didn't have boots I probably would have broken my ankle.

Hello, welcome to the forum! You and I are almost neighbors (hacienda hts). Get all your stuff and let's ride. BTW, if you're free this Thursday evening 6pm, there's a Yamaha bike night at Buena Park mall. Riders, drivers are welcome.

Actually, buying your gear BEFORE your bike, is the only way to go IMO. Too much people spend all they got on their bike, and then don't have enough left to buy decent gear.

So yay for you
