KZ needs to market Vulcan cruiser gear

Kodiakmac · 07-06-2009

Not so Old Mrs. Hubbard, went to the KZ cupboard
To get her poor hubbie a brown leather jacket.
When she got there, the cupboard was bare,
And so her poor hubby ended up with ... nothing

Okay, it's not poetry, but you get the point.

Hey Kawasaki, how about finding some Class A stitchers that can put together some nice leather cruiser wear in browns, tans, etc. Okay, even a few black choices too. I mean, the vulcan logo is kind of nice, you build pretty darn good bikes, time for a bit of flaunting.

Seriously, you're missing a good market. Just ask HD. (leave them the black stuff)

I second that and add if you dont mind how about some sizes in the 5 and 6 xl range.

Spot on, Kodiak.
Brown is hard to find.

In the mean time, take a look at legendaryUSA.com. They have some nice stuff in brown. I love what I've purchased so far. A little pricey, though. Just can't let the wife know how pricey.

Yikes! That's $700-$800 Cdn with taxes and shipping. Looks like really good stuff though. But I wouldn't have any coin left for cammo this fall!!

I dug up this site too...lower prices...and no doubt lower quality.

Can't stand all the HD marketed stuff and Yamee stuff when there are plenty of other brand loyal riders out there........try finding Drifter stuff!

Got a point there cincyD99. I'm not much of a brand loyalist - a bike is a bike is a bike - but why is it that, if I want a leather riding jacket I have to end up with something that has Triumph, H-D or some other (designer) name on it? I don't necessarily want "VULCAN' or "Kawasaki" glaring from it, but something discreet would be nice.

And brown leather, or grey, or tan...in many shades SVP...I'm so tired of black.
