fishfreak Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 well the guys in the shop were very helpful! they said KBC were a new brand of lid but are very good! just as good as shoei but just not as light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Really cant see anything wrong with them I believe them to be a decent make and if it fits well then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 never tried any of them, but heard they are all good... Especially the boot's although I understand that you should not have wide feet if you wear Sidi's as they are slim boots apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The lid should be fine mate as long as a trained helmet fitter sorted you out on the sizing?Weise make great quality leathers, my pillion jacket is made by them and is very well made. It don't get much use as the only pillions I take normally have their own gear but I've had it over 10years and its as good as it was the day I got it!The boots will be fine, but just remember there is no such thing as truely waterproof, so if your gonna munch some miles in the wet (200+) then wear plastic bags inside them over your feet for extra security (top tip: wear the bags like socks so under your leathers to stop rain dribbling into the bags!)
