Default Bike riders in SD

Any of you riders out there know of places who stock a lot of riding gear?? Specifically i'm looking for a full Spidi or maybe RS Taichi suit. I need like 48-50 Euro... Shops in LA only carry huge sizes!!!!!!!!!!!


TIA

I know my brother got a full leathers but he purchased them on ebay. He said they were way cheaper then the shops. You should be able to find high quality ebayers that sell them. LPUSA seems to be a big time ebayer.

Ebay

There are not many that have huge selection and most are over-priced. Cycle gear is a very good store, and there a few locations throughout SD.

But your best bet is to just buy online. I got most of my gear through kneedraggers.com, excellent customer service and can get almost anything.

Try South Bay Motor Sports. Worth a call at least.

Also, try Chaparral Motorsports, their store is in Riverside off the 15. They have a good selection, go there try on different suits and sizes and then order it online to save some cash.

I have a two-piece Alpinestar black SMX Air-flo jacket, and have the track pants. But I've heard good things about the brands you've mentioned.

I would suggest a couple of places.. I've bought from all 3 of these places (get the best prices).

http://www.motoemporium.com

I got my Joe Rocket Speedmaster gear from here...

http://www.kneedraggers.com

I got my back spinal pad from here..

http://www.ridersinc.com/

I got some stands/hardware from these guys. Ridersinc is located in LA.. they're pretty good on customer service..


There's a guy up in San Jose that does custom tailored suits.. from the time you put your name on the waiting list until the time the guy measures your body, it's about a 3-5 month wait. He does really top notch stuff for people and motoGP guys..

I'll see if I can dig up his name.

I've seen a lot of stuff at Motoworld in El Cajon off of Magnolia Ave. Give them a call and see what they've got. Plus, I sure you can order stuff through them.
