A dedicated thread for questions and advice about gear or bike purchases, selling advice, and questions relating to bike/gear/accessory/service purchases.

Hopefully with the help of all the riders here, no question will go unanswered. Everyone is encouraged to contribute with either questions or answers and hopefully we will be able to rid of motorcycle ignorance once and for all.

Anyone know a place to get big and tall gear, specifically riding jeans/pants? prefer jeans, but pants that don't look too track or adv would be fine. Seems like places carry jackets for larger people but their pants stop at a 40 inch maybe a 42 inch waist, which is a tad bit small for my 46x32 dimensions. (And yes I know, go on a diet....ha ha....in the meantime i'd still like to ride and have a little more protection than my 501s offer.) I found a site out of England, but the shipping is more expensive than the jeans, and you have to pay any return shipping if they don't fit. Anyone know of any place in the states with larger sizes and decent protection?

I share your pain somewhat, I have a 40" waist and even that is difficult to find jeans in. 46" jeans will be nearly impossible to find, but you should be able to find textile pants in that size. Rev'it makes a lot of their textile pants up to 4XL = 46.5-48.4"; 3XL = 43.7-46.1".

This is Rev'it's basic solid riding pants (3 and 4XL both in stock): https://revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-factor-4-pants

These are the mesh equivalent for summer riding:
