    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

Schott 141 Cafe Jacket

Dear GSR Forum:

I shelled out 660 bucks for a model 141 Schott Cafe Racer jacket this past week. I only have had a few heavy leather garments in my time but I must say I am pleased with this coat. It weighs about 7 pounds and was stiff as a board when I took it out of the box.

All in all a nice jacket. I did notice what some would consider flaws in the stitching in unobtrusive areas of inner seams which was a bit of a shock for me.
However I am in for a penny on this one having been charged 99 bucks tax and 60 dollars shipping.

I have one Chinese made jacket and it is in all ways flawless so take the reviews on the Schott website as propaganda and make your purchase accordingly. Apparently they have dealers out there so trying one on and doing a thorough inspection is possible. I emailed their customer support and was told if any issues occurred with the areas I pointed out they would repair the jacket free of charge. The response time to queries was fast and the tone of the exchanges was respectful and fair.

Nice jacket. I have a Schott 585 that I just love. Its a brown leather jacket, I didn't want black. It was a little pricey but well worth it. I bought mine at "US Wings" in Hudson, Ohio real good service. Great web site too.

Schott Jackets

You probably know, Schott made the military leather flight jackets too before they became available to the public.

I've had great luck with San Diego leather. They cut the leather and stitch the jackets together on site (in National City). They'll customize their jackets just about any way you'd like. Heavier weight leather, lighter, wind flaps behind the zipper, inside pockets, etc.... And I thought $300 (SD Leather) was a crap load for a jacket
