gidday everyone,
if anyone is after a back protector we have the worlds only CERTIFIED CE APPROVED BACK PROTECTORS.

big claim right? this isnt to say that other brands are no good. its that GiMoto back protectors have CE approval. i need to be fair & honest.

however, the usual retail cost is $139.95.

till the end of October ill let any member have theirs for $109.
THATS OVER 20% SAVING!!

sorry fimp its taken so long.
the boys can keep you busy....

all sizes are "as the crow fly's" which does not take into account the sculpture shape of the back protectors.

small = 51.5cm high x 30cm wide
medium = 55.5cm high x 32cm wide
large = 59cm high x 34cm wide

let me know which size you think fits best. we send all items registered post. if you are unsure ill send both sizes (for example medium AND large) & you send back the size that you do not prefer.

sound fair?;)

cheers

sounds good

so can u just hack one of these up til it fits?
i know mundy has his held in with zip ties :D

do the arm straps and waist thingy just undo?


i wont be able to come up with the cash for a few weeks
but planning on doing a trackday early next month so would be nice to get something before then
the suit i have at the moment only has a shitty bit of foam

and i have broken my back once, not something im keen on revisiting!!![xx(]

old tyres?? NEW tyres. look how new that tread is!!

the straps are adjustable over the shoulders, as is the supportive waist band. the waist band does undo but not the shoulder ones, they are adjustable only.
all straps are fixed securely to the unit for obvious reasons, making sure it stays exactly where it should - protecting your back.

we also have a insertable protector (http://gimoto.com.au/BackProtect-pocket.htm) but is it worth it for an extra $50 bucks? go with the Race Back Protector.

i think we have only medium & large left as we have sold all the smalls. next delivery is about 4 weeks when we will be getting stacks of stuff (including a heap of back protectors) for the www.sydneymotorcycleshow.com.au

check us out at the shop if you plan on attending.

i thought you were joking about hacking one up??!!

call me dumb, & this may be a stoopid question;
but you dont want to wear it yourself under the leathers?

Bought one of these a month or so ago (GRP2), comfy, good quality, haven't crash tested it yet(and not really keen to!).
Fits under my jacket.
Good one guys.
