I am looking to purchase some riding gear and I was wondering what most of us Harley riders wear? The perception of the Harley garb is the half helmet, engineering boots, chaps and black leather jacket, so far I have all the gear with the exception of chaps and engineering boots. Is there a good place to order engineering boots? I dont think I am ready for the chaps.

 

I would suggest just a good 8 inch boot or something that has good support and covers your ankle. Style may be more a matter or personal choice

 

Half Helmet with a 3/4 face sheild

Clear safety glasses

Black Lamb/Leather jacket with patches

1968 Harley Davidson leather riding Gloves

Levi jeans

Full calve riding boots

A major credit card and a attitude.

 

Before It got to 80* I got a FXRG jacket, AVG modular full crash helment. Gortex gloves. Chaps, Wiley sunglasses, day nite adjustable. Wolverine Multishox boots. Carhartt jeans from Tractor supply, Vest just to name a few things.

 

Black jeans, black T shirt, black boots, black half lid, black sunglassesand if it's a little chilly a black leather jacket and black gloves.

 

You have the right stuff so far. You can get the boots from Harley as well as the chaps. You will learn to appreciate the chaps. You can probably find the boots and chaps cheaper somewhere else but I have been very pleased with the Harley gear I have. My chaps are some off brand but I did buy them at the Harley dealer. You will also appreciate some eye protection. Good luck/ride safe.

 

I forgot to mention that, if you don't already have it, you will also need a Harley.

 

The bike does help!

 

1/2 carbon fiber looking helmet, generic black leather coat had for 4 years, harley chaps originally worn and given to me by my dad (not giving them up for anything), milwalkee side zip boots, levi jeans, olympia kevlar black leather gloves. looking to get some cruiserworks boots and an FXRG leather coat this spring/summer.

 

"engineering boots" - what? is that like algebra lipstick?
