General tips on motorcycles from our friends at Kawasaki
"RKA is the only company I know of that makes matching-color bags for sport bikes -- tank, saddle and tail bags, to be exact. They're really nice, and cost a bit too.
In general, when looking at protective gear, get the best. Not the best you can afford, simply the best. Arai and Shoei helmets are awesome, they'll save your life. Leathers from any good manufacturer -- Z, Bates, Vanson to name a few -- are all good."
