Buying a sports bike and looking to buy some gear at a decent price. Specifically: Leather suit (1 piece or 2 piece), gloves and boots. Anyone got any info as to where I can get some used or at a good price new?
Thanks.

Do you know the area in Seoul called Toegyero 5-ga? Go to Dongdaemun Stadium Station and walk towards Chungmuro station. That road follows Line 4 and would eventually lead you to Myeongdong and Seoul Station.
Before you are halfway to Chungmuro you will get to Toegyero 5-ga and all the motorcycle and scooter shops. On your right you will see the Arai helmet store. 2 doors down is an accessory shop with an orange-red awning. That is where I buy all my gear. Depending on who is there, they may speak a little or a lot of English. Very foreigner friendly regardless of good or bad language skills. |

What size are you? I may have what you're looking for, at least for a 2 piece leather suit and boots. both really.. almost new condition. They're rather big, but.. if you're 6"2~6"4 or so and not too chunky, they'll do. I also have some size 12 AGV racing boots to go with the suit. Send me a PM if you're interested and we'll talk! |

Thanks for the reply Bibbitybop, I'm gonna go check in a few weekends.
IlIlNine: I guess I should of posted my size... I'm 5'7" with a size 10 shoe. Unfortunately don't think the 2 piece will fit me  But thanks for the reply.
Is there any sites selling used gear? I've looked at auction but not much there. You'd figure they'd be a few places to look. Is there a shop on Itaewon? |

Hey v1y,
I was at a shop in Itaewon and they had a lot of 1 piece suits, or jackets...they basically carry everything to wear.
Check out this website http://www.maxler.co.kr/
His in house collection is pretty big and he has a storage place nearby where he has some bigger sizes. It isn't very far to walk from, i think it was near Burger King on the second floor. |

| Thanks Durtee!! He seems to have tons of stuff. A lot of the leather suits are relatively cheap. What did the quality look like? |

The gear looked good as well as the quality. They have named brands as well as some house products. I wanted to buy some stuff but I was pressed for time and had to run out the door after 30 minutes. I ended up buying a pair of Maxler gloves before I left though and am very happy with them.
Nice guys too and are willing to help out. |
