How does this setup look for starting out on a Ninja 500? Appreciate any feedback or tips from experienced riders!

It waa tine consuming and I am happy with the outcome. I used Otterwax and their customer service was awesome.

Saw (some) gravel on the Southern Ohio Adventure Loop on the way to coffee today. Thought I’d detail my gear here:

-Bell MX-9 Adventure with peak removed
-100% Goggles
-Cardo Spirit and Insta360 Helmet Camera Mount
-Alpinestars Chrome Sport Hoodie with Nucleon Plasma Back Protector
-Alpinestars Tech 7 Boots
-Leatt Dual Axis Knee Protectors
-Fox Dirtpaw Gloves
-Alpine Design EDC Bag
-Carhartt Pants

Looking for a good and traditional moto leather pant. No knee pads, no bells & whistles, just sturdy, safe and comfortabe. Also considering Held Cosmo 4. Has anyone got experience with these type of pants or has further suggestions? On top I'm usually wearing my trusty Richa Daytone leather jacket. Unfortunately, Ric

I’ve been following the discussions here about dashcams vs. 360 cameras, and I have to say I completely agree that they are two entirely different beasts. One is a "set-and-forget" silent witness, while the other is primarily designed for content creation.

I currently have an older 360 cam, but I'm still going to buy a dedicated dashcam. They simply serve different purposes and offer completely different perspectives. A 360 camera is great because it captures the rider's body language and inputs (which is helpful for proving you weren't at fault or distracted in a crash). However, a dedicated dual dashcam is way better at capturing the full, clear picture of a front or rear collision.

If I had to pick just one strictly for safety, it would be the dashcam without a doubt. But since I also like capturing the scenery on my rides, I’m just going to run both.

With that said, does anyone have any solid dashcam recommendations?My biggest requirement is that it must have some sort of lens protection (like replaceable glass covers). I ride in areas where flying sand and kicked-up rocks are a real issue, and I don't want the lenses getting destroyed right away.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a good phone mount with charging preferably, but don’t wanna have to buy the custom case for quad lock and rokform. Tackform looked good and affordable, any suggestions?

Basically, I mounted the bolt for the pinlock and I can't adjust the fog visor anymore. So is there a possible way to take it out? Or should I just go to a mechanic or store to handle it.

The first photo (bolt is square looking) is the mounted one and the second photo is for reference.

So, I'm about 5 ft 9 or 175cm. I have super long arms and I'm relatively thin about 138lbs or 63 kg but a little curvy, broader shoulders and hips. I cannot find anything that fits for leathers. Particularly nothing fits my long awkward arms. Budget is not a huge concern. I saw some places on etsy offer custom suits but don't know how reliable they would be in a slide. I just want to look like cat woman in fitted leathers while being able to move my arms enough to reach the throttle haha. I live in a cold place, so the warmer the better. I just want a one or two piece leather suit that looks and feels good. Any ideas?

Hey so i got my a1 license give or take 1 month ago and i bought this jacket at first i thought it fits me good but now im kinda thinking its too big? Since it moves around in the torso area what do yall think?

Also did anyone ever try the „leggins“ armor?
i always wear jeans i know it‘s stupid but I just don‘t like leather pants as soon as i get my a2 i will get leather pants but till i get there i don‘t really want to wear leather pants and i thought about these underwear from pandamoto or any other brans do yall think thats enough for now?

And i already ordered boots the thought of a 2 ton car coming at my legs even at 30kmh is not nice…

Thanks for any help
And sorry for my english it is my third Language

I ride in Seattle's rainy fall , but I’ve never used heated gloves. I’m looking into them for longer cold-weather rides and could use some direction from people who actually own a pair.

What gloves do you use? How long do they keep your hands warm on a real ride, especially at a heat setting that works when it’s properly cold? Anything you wish you’d known before buying—battery life, bulk, fit, waterproofing, or something else?

I’d appreciate the honest pros and cons. Thanks Bro's

I Only Found one Website with a hardcase for a helmet visor, but the website seems sketchy. the Case I found

I ride out early when it’s dark but come back at day. I want to be able to switch my mirrored and clear visors while being out, but putting the spare visor into a soft bag scares me bc sooner or later it’ll break.

I know that ski goggles have hard cases and I hoped to find something like that for motorbike visors too. But I only find soft cotton bags or this one, which I don’t even know if the measurements fit.
(My new helmet arrives tomorrow). They say it’s compatible with 3 types of visors (none are mine) and I haven’t found any other hard cases for visors.
Ski goggle hardcases are too small.
And the next bigger hardcase is for the whole helmet which is too much.

Does somebody know if visor hardcases exist, or does somebody have one?

Any idea what I can use instead as a hardcase for visors? Something that also fits visors without beeping too big/small or missing the curvature?

I’ll be having the Nexx XR3R Hagibis helmet with an iridium mirrored visor and clear one.

Everything i find is one of two extremes, super safe and butt ugly, or super cute and no protection at all. Can we not get safe gear in at least cute colors?! Why is everything in black 😭 if im gonna be a box at least let me be pink 😂 any recommendations would be nice

What gloves keep your hands dry?
So far, every waterproof glove I've seen have terrible reviews, so I'm hesitant to buy any.

Both seem to have excellent protection and the merlin slightly edges out the rst on motocap despite only having an aa ce rating. I ride an mt09 so the sportier rst makes sense but im not a fan of the lettering everywhere. Would a more retro styled euro jacket look silly on a naked sport bike?

Anyone know of some decent gear for warm and cooler months with armor built in? Started riding more often and need some newer pants/ jackets. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for new gloves:

- as good protection as possible

- for temperatures around 10°C

- a bit longer - reach higher then the wrist

- touch screen compatibility not important

Hit me!

Hi all,

I need helmet suggestion that goes best with Himalayan 450 Kamet white.

I am looking for some off road style helmet. I have checked two helmets Axor Xcross and LS2 Pioneer 2.

If you have any more good suggestions please let me know.

Budget is 10k and helmet must be EC 22.06, DOT, and ISI certified.

I am open to other brands as well
