You could make this work on a Harley if you were to sew one of those Choked Chicken "Live to Ride" back patches on it....But I don't have a picture of that upgrade...yet.

I picked up a Belstaff Cordura nylon jacket (not the waxed cotton type) from an old guy who got out of motorcycling for a super cheap price. It looks more like the textile jackets from First Gear or Tour Master and the quality of it is phenomenal. I wear it occasionally but mostly wear a cheaper nylon type jacket or my Harley leather jacket depending on weather.
