Dear Santa (aka motorcycle accessories importers / manufacturers)

Straight to the point - wish list to motorcycle accessory manufacturers / business people - listen up.
This is my wish list for products which either don't exist yet or have simply dropped off the face of ebay...
1. Tyvek motorcycle cover - the BEST cover I have ever had - stops 99% of UV, is lightweight, screws up into a tiny ball and used to be had for $50 - sadly no longer avalable - only option is the "plastic bag" sh!t Supercheap sell.
2. Haven't seen one yet but a multifunction display for your bikes vitals that can be seen whilst riding ie volts, oil pressure, water/oil temp oh yeah, it needs to be back lit and have ambient temp and relative humidity too - hey it is a wish list after all.

there, that's my two for the moment.

Twin headlights like Whitey had .

Fuel ,endless supply .

I'd go a 4 into 2 system (or 4 - 1 - 2) - I like twin mufflers!

This 2 into 2 aftermarket system on an SP2 is a beauty. Don't expect Santa could get a Bandit to look that good except if he was Gus dressed up!!

My chrissy list isn't a wish

4300K HID light replacement (low and high beam)
New LED integrated mirrors
Gus inc. Carbon fibre end caps

My only wish is More time to ride... especially with my wife on the back. Have to farm out the young fella for a few hours shortly

water proof gloves that are water proof not just shower proof ( and don`t need over gloves ) at a reasonable price .


I`m with you Reddog endless time & resources to go riding.

That would be a pair of 1 into 1 wouldn't it?

twin exhaust = double weight.

Underseat exhaust = hot back side.

I'll pass... the trumpy 1050 sprint I rode would be good in winter, but the hot seat would mean summer riding was a no go.

I told myself never again after the sprint underseat exhaust .

My xmas wish list is simple.

A set of leathers that are perforated, fit properly, are comfortable and aren't expensive.

I second this motion

A new HJC lid for a fat head and boots will do me

I've got a cheap preforated Teknic Chicane jacket and so far it is pretty comfy and coolish. Haven't had to test it out though to see how ift holds up in a crash though.

I've tried the Teknic jackets on, they do not fit me properly. Truth of the matter is that to get them to fit in the arms, shoulders etc my gut is not covered. To get coverage for my gut, they are too big every where else, and I'm not really that big - 178cm and 100kg.

Go pro cam and Dyno for me.

Try Joe Rocket. They seem to be much bigger in the arms and legs

DriRider Air Ride 2 jacket.

You're not the first person to suggest Joe Rocket gear. I don't think there is anywhere within 250km's that sells them, so trying them on will be an issue. Sometime living in the country is a pain in the arse.

For good prices on Joe Rocket gear try www.bikegearwarehouse.com.au

Thanks for that, they are good prices. But it still doesn't help with trying the suckers on for size.

Just got Air Ride 2 Jacket $150 from bikebiz. going to pick it up from post office now. When you go on the site it has it full price and gives 25% discount when you go to the checkout. that includes all dririder gear as far as i know.

They have no Summer dririder gloves in stock tho

I just ordered a smoked screen in standard shape for the FZ at $24.95 delivered from LA.
I have a feeling Yam parts are much cheaper than Suzuki especially in the US.
Go me

I've just ordered a copy of the "Closer to the Edge" DVD (came out in the UK on Monday apparently). Bought a zone 2 (UK/Europe) twin DVD job from an Aussie distributor.

I just googled the trailer Ewok & it looks like it will be a great film
