Olympia. Stayed dry through 2 straight days of heavy, heavy rains at interstate speeds...with an open face helmet. Never had a better rain kit.

Is there some rule that says he can't wear an H-D rain suit on an Indian? I wear Indian, Norton and other brands of bike t-shirts while riding my Harley all the time...

Good choice! Not as expensive as you'd expect either.

They're currently in process to buy the rights to a company name that produced rain slickers in 1889. As we speak, the Indian PR department is working on an ad campaign touting they are the oldest manufacturer of rain suits
