PH customs also makes engine guard chaps

I bought a rear fender bib from them. The price was fair and the service was excellent. The bib fit perfectly and was exactly what I expected.

Edit: Here's a set in the for sale section

I had Sage Brush and now have Airlite. So far I like the Airlitebest by far. No straps required and they are more heavy duty. Bob will add pockets too.

I've had Chillohee chaps (and other products) for a couple years without any problems.

dennisbailey · 03-15-2010, 11:04 PM

I bought mine from CycleCat on the Vendor Section of the KawaNow Site. They are super quality, unbelievable quality and workmanship, heavy duty and look great. She makes them with pockets also. They are a bit pricey but after getting them I understood why. They were well worth every penny I spent on them. Real bridal leather and stitching. I have had so many comments on them. I one time purchase that enhances your bikes looks. She has pics on the Vendors Section that you can look at.

I luv my airlite. :)

**Jared** · 03-16-2010, 12:22 AM

Cyclecats are by far the best I have seen.

metallibiker · 03-16-2010, 03:52 AM

I just bought a pair from a guy in Canada that makes them out of high quality synthetic material. He sells them on eBay, $75 includes product and shipping. Just search for Kawasaki Nomad and you should find them. They fit perfectly on the crash bars and I am very impressed with the overall quality and fit. He will sew on any size pocket you want for about $10 extra

Airlites on mine, too.
