The jacket I have has the armor inserts. I ended up removing them as they were too bulky. I might add them to my mesh jacket for warmer weather.

Both jackets are good but I side more with the black one, mainly because black goes with any color of bike you ride or other cloths you may be wearing.. My girl told me when I'm ready to buy a leather jacket don't go to the HD dealer and pay 4 to 5 hundred but go to Burlington coat factory and pay far less.. http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com...y/Default.aspx
search word: HD leather jacket..

I dont usually buy HD clothing but i think their Leather Jackets are top notch but way expensive new, so i bought mine 2nd hand off e-bay i got a Ł450 jacket for Ł100 thats pounds not dollars!!
Some seriously good HD jackets out there hardly worn because the bikes have hardly been ridden
for example...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARLEY-DAV...item2ec415cc1f

I would have to agree, when it comes to leather I don't mess around. I went with Icon Leathers, been three years so far and still in great condition. I'm a firm believer in the whole "You get what you pay for" saying but not when it comes to HD stuff. They always add on a little more... or a lot.

Im a firm disbeliever of you get what you pay for. I have quite a bit of leather up stuff. Ive never had to use it for its intended purpose but my son has.......and he walked away completely unscathed........except for his nerves (and of course the riding gear)
