    Just wondering if i should change my riding gear to match the colours of my bike

    All my current kit was bought to match my red 600rr


    I think it goes alright ,

    2 mates say it goes with the bike ( could just be telling me what i want to hear )

    2 mates say it clashes,

    So I'm opening it to public slating.

    Yey or Ney ?

    I think you can get away with most colours on a black bike. I wouldn't say that clashed.


    I have black leathers with White boots and gloves on my HRC and it seems to work that way round too IMO. my old shoei matched my bike but not sure if my new one does?!


    I was riding with it for the first time today and when I saw my reflection in the clocks It took me a few seconds to realise it was my reflection! I'm so used to my vermeulen colour!

    Looks ok to me. I went all black as the last bike was yellow and I had colour matched leathers... Black goes with anything. A black bike means that you can have any colour kit I think.

    Mate, the louder the better! Looking goooooooood :)

    BTW, is that a different rear light? I thought the 10's came with a clear lens.. is it one of those integrated set ups with the blinkers in the main unit?

    I was lucky with the fit as loads were to big , to small , to wide etc and this 1 was 1 of the last i tired and was like a glove.

    Honestly it looks absolutely perfect.

    Blacks, whites, reds all go with a black bike, the more day-glo the better.

    Blues and greens tend not to.

    I think we need to see a picture of what shoes and handbag you intend to wear too before we can say for certain.

    The leathers and helmet (Quantum I think) look great together, do you have any other pics, bit hard to tell from that angle but so far looks pretty good. Love the Arai Quantum

    I wear black leathers, boots, gloves and a matt black helmet. Not because it looks cool, because it scare the shits out of my nieces.

    They think I'm Kenny Kenny the satanic teletubby.

    If they're like mine they've retreated back inside your body along with your testicles. It's an automatic safety response when your knee touches tarmac at speeds above 40 mph.

    Good photo that one, yeah I think it all looks good... must say I love that ARai, was thinking of getting that one, I cant wear anything else cos of my big head, cant stand AGV's for some reasons they are very uncomfortable for me at least

    I love my arai as well . All the paint work has glitter in so it looks real good in the sunlight. Had it a year now and it still looks brand new
