[dsn_klr650] aftermarket shift lever comparison

[Dash Weeks]

Anyone have or tried on a Mach One Jacket. I checked out their website... I like the colors of the Sprint Jacket but the armor of the Mach One appeals to me a bit more. I'm 6'2" 225ish, recommend a size to start with? The Kili XL is comfy. The closest place that carries Teknic gear is 100+ mi. away. Wanna make sure they have my size before trekking down there. Any crash stories with this on, out there? Not that I'll crash or anything Thanks LaterZ Dash

i just put a moose on about a month ago. i notice no difference in length from the factory one, but maybe i don't pay attention. mw
