Nice bike and colour choice.
You make that bike look smaller than it is 8)

Classic Stealth. i don't like the unlined suits. This is my spring and fall suit as warmer then the 2 piece Klim suits and I can layer up as much as I need underneath.
5% discount if you ride in and try on suits for size before ordering.
I’d not thought about the reflectors being mounted on the forks themselves. I’ll have to look at some other models.
I have a 13 year-old classic Roadcrafter in grey with black abrasion points, and I rode my bike up to their warehouse to get fitted and get the discount. I looked into a Klim Hardanger but since they abandoned the two-zipper design of Areostich's I'm no longer interested. I don't think there's a single better commuter suit available anywhere -- I've ridden mine daily through sleet, snow storms, driving rain, and muggy 95 degree midwest summers. Although I'm sending that back to be refurbished and get upgraded armor, my eyes are on a new black R3 with Hi-Vis/Neon abrasion points to go with my new hi-vis Arai.
