: Recommendations for back protector Stets 03-14-2002, 06:16 PM After seeing the damage TLRman did to his lower spine after his get off last Monday I have decided to invest in a decent back protector and not rely on the foam panel in the leathers. Does anyone have any recommendations or comments, good or bad, about - Dainese - Knox - Bohn - Teknic - Other ? Thanks Hammer 4 03-14-2002, 08:05 PM Welp...I have the Spidi, but imho the Bohn, or Knox is a better way to go.. images/icons/grin.gif Drizzt 03-14-2002, 11:49 PM dainese and spidi make a good back protector, i know my dainese dirt bike armor, which incorperates a dainese back protector has save my back soo many times, from flipping bike doing a steep hills, to low sliding around corners images/icons/smile.gif Code Blue Chick 03-15-2002, 12:22 AM Jason (from the ride) has a Dainese one, cost round $320. Just make sure you get the right size as his g/f wore it once on a ride, and she ended up having neck pain, headaches etc as it was too long for her. rodman 03-15-2002, 01:41 AM Bohn pro-racer. It takes up a little room in your leathers, but protects your spine, kidneys, and shoulder blades. Well worth it in my opinion. You can get in at http://www.kneedraggers.com for $159, I think. torquemaniac 03-15-2002, 05:35 AM Get the Kobe vented back protector (http://www.1888fastlap.com/kobe_fastlap_vented_back_protect.htm) from MarMo for $69. It's comfy, won't take up a lot of space in your leathers, and is extremely durable. Best bet for the money, IMAO. I've got one and I love it. http://www.1888fastlap.com/saleimages/c50backprot.jpg Ericsson 03-15-2002, 08:05 AM I would go for the Knox if it fits under the leathers as they are somewhat larger than some of the others. I would not buy the Bohn (pure principle) since I think that only a dickhead would mark the stuff as CE approved when it actually isn't (it might have changed though). /U Hammer 4 03-15-2002, 08:25 PM Originally posted by Ericsson: I would go for the Knox if it fits under the leathers as they are somewhat larger than some of the others.

Especially the price and Quality... It's just hard to get used to with the Aero Hump...But I still recommend it!!! Stets 03-20-2002, 11:46 PM I ended up buying a Knox/Teknic Race back protector. Apparently Knox don't import directly into Australia but the Teknic protector is simply a Knox with a Teknic badge on it and infact the waist and shoulder elastics still have the Knox logos I also looked for a Kobe back protector but couldn't find one here Thanks all for the opinions and comments 1Liter 03-21-2002, 01:05 AM ANybody have the teknic 7-link? I just ordered one, didn't get it yet. I noticed it dosen't have shoulder straps, just waist. It was like 40 bucks. Should stay in place with the suit on, I hope.
