I got them off ebay in 2007. The shoulder and elbow armor from one dealer, and the back plate from another. I typed "Body Armor" and got over 6,000 results on ebay. The I tried "replacement armor" and got this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOURMASTER-J...3e50c5&vxp=mtr. That back plate may fit your jacket with no alteration.

Got my First Gear mesh-tex day-glo today. :boobs:

I found a disadvantage to day-glo. It creates a hell of a glare on the GPS screen. Then again, my GPS is mounted directly in front of me, so it may not be an issue for those of you that have a GPS mounted at an angle on a handlebar.

Capt, let me know if you think it helps. I don't think it helps much... if those cager assholes don't you see you, nothing you put on is going to help.

After working utility construction where I was required to wear yellow vests and EMS where I have to wear one while working wrecks I have concluded that high visibility stuff is just to make it easier to find the body.

What I've considered though I don't know the legality of it is putting some bicycle leds on a couple spots on my bike. Specifically the front of the bike. I use a ton of them on my commuter bicycle and even in Atlanta cars move over a mile back to avoid me.

But high viz stuff can't hurt.

My new Tornado suit. this is new, it now has 2,000 miles and one wash. It looks great.

Great ass...ets!

Oh, and the suit looks good too. Wouldn't stay white long here though... WAY too many bugs, and the road construction!

Agreed. You just look like a fucking tool with your Day-Glo on.

Then I guess I just look like a tool. But if it causes just ONE person to see me who wouldn't have otherwise, then a tool I'll gladly be.

Thanks.

BTW, I wore my husband's suit in the same color to Sturgis and back last year. Tons of bugs/road crap/other crap onto that suit from 12 days of riding. Took the armor out, tossed it into the washer after spot treating and BAM clean.

I did the same thing after my 10 day ride a week ago. Any road grime came right off. It is brilliant material. And, if how it comes clean is any sign of how it would take a slide...
