Where to Buy Gear?
I couldn't find a board here that seamed to specialize in this catagory so I thought I would post my question here,
Where does everyone buy thier riding gear. If you don't know I recently bought a new bike. I am in the market for some Harley gear, helmet, gloves, boots and a vest. Do you guys give you business to your local dealer or a special internet site? Is there such a thing as a good really good deal on new harley gear or is it pretty much all the same price?
Thanks, I should have my bike next week, can't wait.

RE: Where to Buy Gear?
What gear do you consider a must when riding around town all the time and the occasional 200 mile road trip on a nice day?
Helmet
Gloves
Boots
Is that all you role withon a summer day?
Add a leather jacket for the colder mornings?
Or am I totally over looking something?
Thanks

I'll throw in another vote for Fox Creek Leather.
Their jackets are bulletproof, they are great to deal with and give a lifetime warranty.
Not cheap - but still not as expensive as some of the HD branded stuff which imho - is crap.

Jacket at the H-D shop about 8 years ago
Chaps -California leathers 8 years agonot sure if they are still in business either
Boots- Any western, saddle or tack shop or even Mills Fleet Farm.
Vest- from Sturgis about 7 years ago
Gloves- fingerless at HD sale- Leather snowmobile gauntlet gloves for cold weather(less than 40 degrees)
Oh yeah I forgot my helmets, Half helmet was a $30 clearance, Full face from local motorsports place, (not H-D), I'm looking at one of the ACC carbon fiber halfs for this year though.
