Chris, I plan to were normal leathers, it will be safer than dressing in drag
It's one motorcycle sport that I haven't tried, so I will give it a go, but it is more about the bike, and getting it back to its former glory.

They are a great little bit of kit. I used them For my RSV4 front end swap, Much easier cheaper and easier than getting a new set of Brake lines made and fitted
