Oh my god! I can't visit now :( How could you do this to me? How can you stand to wear perfectly servicable gear that dosn't match your bike? I'm sad.

I love the Harley gear, but not the ones that plaster Harley all over. some styles are more subtle than others. they've got a wicked line of gear, imho.

i own a yamaha V Star 650 and i wear a Stock Leather jacket HD.
It just fit me right.
logo was small on the chest and that was about it.
I also have HD boots, which i like, though is a little heavy.
When i travel, i'll buy a HD shirt and wont really care about what others think of me.
one thing about HD is that they have a large selection of riding gear and i think thier styles are way more pregressive than other motorcycle companies.

wear your HD clothes and dont worry about it...

I love Foxcreek leather. Shorts and I both have jackets from them. I also wear deer leather riding gloves, though not from Foxcreek. They are very soft and comfortable.

My biggest problem with buying jackets of any kind off the rack is fit. My chest measures at 45-46", but I have to go with a size 50 to fit comfortably on my shoulders. This always leaves me with some excess material around the waist (which is 38"). I'm working on the waist right now (just ask Shorts, she's a task master at everything, include my diet and PT). When I wear my Icon military riding vest, that helps "tighten" up the waist, but it is still annoying. There are pictures of us in our Foxcreek jackets on Shorts blog.

I'm not a huge fan of the HD stuff cause I just don't think it's worth the money. You can find just as nice stuff, plus it isn't plastered with logos.
