I bought some from J&P Cycles, this is a link to them. I only used them once so far, but they are nice quality.
Also buy rain gaiters for your lower legs. make sure they will fit over your riding boots when you buy them. They really do a good job for keeping your legs dry. Wear them under your rain pants.

I did a lot of reasearch and ended up with the HD "Overpass" outfit. It was expensive as are all HD items, but it had the best features. The zippers on the pants are very long, there is more reflective area than any other I could find, and it had some very good reveiws.

+1 My wife and I got these suits when we had some points to spend at the local dealer and we are impressed with the quality. We left for Bike Week in a torrential downpour and stayed bone dry. I actually like looking like a great big reflective pumpkin in the rain - it is about visibility, not a fashion show. I also like that the jacket has a little attached hood for when you get somewhere and it is still raining.

I'm into my 5th season with the same set of Frogg Toggs ... they've done a very good job.

If I were to replace the set I have I'd go with the Road Toads, MSRP of $59.95. They were on-sale at Cabellas a few weeks back for $53, I should have bought a set.

I have the H-D High Visibility stuff too, and besides the excellent performance and reflectivity it's also very packable -- important when deciding on what has to stay home on your next trip.

Go check out what they offer at HD (the non-Goretex versions), then compare that with a Tourmaster brand (usually carried at a Honda dealer).
The Tourmaster offers all HD does (anti-melt material, breather holes, velcro closures, elastic cuffs, suspenders, etc. And it was only $50 for both the pants and the jacket! Plus, with the yellow version with reflective areas you stick out - which is great in low visability for those cars out there.
When sizing you should try them on over your leathers.
