w;;v I am looking for a new back protector as my old dainese one that has done probably closing on a million miles in the past 6 years has about had it. What are the best back protectors on the market, Within money limits as i aint made of money yet :dunno: I was told knox race back protectors are good and not too expensive at around ?80?? Anyone got any input on a good comfortable one that wont make me sweat like a fat man??

As crash tested by Ben last year :cry: :cry: :dunno:

Na mate, didn't have it then. It was my smash that made me realise that a full back protector is worth the cash. Went straight out and got one before the bike was back on the road.
Brocken legs & arms - yeah , they may hurt but a fractured orbroken spine.........No thanks.

:bow: Thanks for all the replies :yo: After much deliberation i decided to buy the new knox kc2000x1 race protector, Not cheap direct from knox online at ?99.99 but hopefully it will save me back in the unfortunate event of a meeting with the tarmac :yo:

That'll be money well spent mate and if it all goes tits up on the bike, you'll be glad you had it.
Good choice.

just got rid of mine on e-bay!!!!
Now using a Forcefield - IMHO much better and far more comfortable than the KC2001 which is like sticking a surboard on ya back in comparison. You can get the Forcefield from Carrera Leathers, you who (if you quote BIRD) might even do ya a bit of discount.
