Nice find. I have the A* SMX 2 air carbons. Love 'em, they've lasted 2 years now and are still going. Should make this season before they have to go. OSP crash tested a pair too, and they held up well.

Let us know how you like the Octanes. I was looking at either those, the 3/4's or the GP-X's.

The carbons were the other ones I was looking at. Im hoping to have the bike back out next week or the following week and the new tires put on right after that, so once that happens Ill definitely let you know how they are. The GPX is basically a short cuff version of the gp plus, and thats definitely a good thing since I like the plus' that I have already.

I have these in red and i like them. Nice and short but still fit well in my "trunk".

I got mine for 60.00.

I've had a pair of Power Trip Grand Nationals since I started riding. They've held up really well, and are very comfortable. I don't think my new GP Plus will get much use- but I'll keep them for trackdays. They just don't feel good enough to ride all day.

I have a pair of Alpinestars Octane S-Moto Gloves that are all leather, perferated and armored. They took a little to break in but are super comfortable now and good protection other than your wrists. Perfs are good in hot weather too.

Does anyone else wear shorties and zip them under the cuff of their jacket? I wear locally-made elkskin gloves that make it real easy for me to feel the levers.

That's why I got my shorties, the cuffs on my jacket, which I love, are pretty bulky and it's hard to get gauntlets over them, and it's kind of hard to pull the sleeves over the gauntlets. The shorties I got have a neoprene part at the end that the jacket slides very nicely over.

Mine get tucked under a little bit since the sleeves on my jacket come down just past my wrist bone.

My plus' are the same way. They come out for longer rides and highway trips and stuff like that and will be used for track days once I finally start doinng them. They still feel like theyre not fully broken in or something.

Im glad you like them since those are the same ones I just ordered. I should have them here in the next couple days.

I think you'll like them. What took time to break in for me was being able to lift my first 2 fingers up to the clutch and brake levers. Since I'm on a cruiser it's a little wrong on the angle with the armored knuckle piece but they're getting nice now and I haven't worn them all that much yet.

Let me know how you like 'em after you try them out.
