Engineering Improvement
Hello Everyone,
I am a Senior Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering student at Florida State University. I do not own a Harley-Davidson but I plan to one day..... The main reason I joined this forum is because I am currently working on my senior design project and needed a few suggestions from professional and veteran motorcyclists..... My project deals with making everyone's motorcycle experience more enjoyable by making a potentially major engineering innovation to the ride..... My project deals with the jacket you wear while riding the bike.... My colleages and I have devised a way of giving the rider the ablity to keep their body at a constant temperature while riding.... Try to imagine central heating and air conditioning for your jacket..... I know it sounds impossible but we have found a way to do it..... The system we have devised will give the rider the ablity to heat themselves when riding a bike in the cold, and to cool themselves when riding a bike in the heat, without adding a bunch of extra parts to the bike, and without comprimising the safety of the rider .... , But what I need from you is this; I need you to answer the following question in order to make this innovation possible... What aspects of a motorcycle jacket do you look for and expect when you purchase a motorcycle jacket?.....( EX. Looks, Comfortable, Feel, Flexibility, etc.....)
We plan on completing this design and offering it to the public, VERY SOON!!!!
I thank everyone for your time,
Industrial Engineer

RE: Engineering Improvement
Its already been done. Spacesuits have that capability dont they? How cool would it be to ride around in one of those, only not after a serving of bean dip and beer.

I was serious, thick leather. I remember being cold and putting newspapers under the jacket, and it worked great to keep the wind and rain out. Hot, open the bloody jacket.

I was expecting the 1-800 number... Damn
Just Damn!
Seriously I can almost guarantee you the price tag for that handy dandy HVAC leather jacket will be way more overpriced than a Harley jacket. I think I'll stick to my standard leathers and thermals as needed.
