Hey everyone, I hope this isn't in the wrong section.

I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of Speed Pro Racing jackets? I just bought one on Craigslist because it fits nice and looks good. Its got shoulder, elbow and back protection (not the hard stuff but it is removable so i could swap), removable liner with some leather (shoulders / 1/2 of arms) and what I believe is textile (the tag says cordura).

the price was within my current budget, but I am concerned that I am not able to find anything about it online... should I be?


on another note, i got to take my first ride in about 10 years on monday (even though there was snow on the ground) and I love the way my GS rides!

Nope not the wrong section yet. I've been bugging the mods for a gear topic area so until then yup right spot!

Can you post up a pic I looked everywhere but without specifics. It may either be really really old or could be a foreign produce i.e. not imported here!

i know... i am slow in responding to posts... lol

anyone seen anything like this before? I got it off craigslist for $50, the red is leather and the black and white are Cordura textile...

its really comfortable and has shoulder, elbow, and back armor... and a removable liner..

one of the best things is it fits my long arms and isn't "puffy", at 6'4" 220 I found that a lot of jackets I tried on that were long enough in the arms were to large in the torso...

also thanks to all that gave me jacket ideas on this post -- http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=47187.msg529981#msg529981
