Thanks all for the feedback on the Airglide. This confirms what I have mostly found to be positive impressions of the gear. I have decided to go ahead with the purchase. Thanks Vann for the info on Acme Motorcyles in Asheville. I gave them a call today and they have the hi-vis yellow in stock in the...

I am in the market for a hi-vis mesh jacket and mesh over pants. I am looking at the Olympia Airglide 2 mesh jacket in neon yellow and the Airglide 2 mesh over pants.

I am also going to wire the permanent mount ring terminals to the battery which means pulling the tank again. #-o It will probably make the job changing the QDs easier anyway. Despite the excellent adv...

Hello all, I have been lurking around this board since Aug. 07 when I purchased my 04 boxer after a 20 year hiatus from motorcycles. I am officially in my mid-life crisis and enjoying it greatly.
