Wouldn't trade my vansons for anything else.I agree with Parks,for weight I have put on every year I just rub a little leather off. I don't think that I have missed to many spots and I still feel safe.
leather weight
OK, so I am losing weight. Gonna try and get down to 187-190. My Van son leathers weigh a ton (I'll weigh them later). They're a size 52, I am 6 foot 2 inches.
so what are the lightest, safest leathers out there? The Vanson seem like overkill sometimes, they are so heavy. And I'm not going to crash going 200 mph on the straight.
