My last ride was a cruiser and I used to wear leather chaps with it, but since it's summer time and chaps don't really go with sportbikes, I need something to replace them that isn't going to cost me a fortune but isn't going to be worthless in a crash.

I'm 6'0", 185lbs, medium build. My riding jacket is a TourMaster Flex2 that's black-on-black design with white piping and a black/silver/white helmet and black boots, so I'd prefer something that comes in predominantly black or black/silver.

Does tour master make a matching set of pants? If they do they most likely zip together; good for safety reasons and winter time.

Don't worry about the color; if leather comes in one color, it's black. Not so good for visibility, but the cool factor always wins out.

Newenough's Closeout section is a good place to find decent cheap leather - try this. Or, if you want to stick with Tour Master, this. Perforated leather is good in summertime.
