Hi Tim, great to see you at the track on Saturday Back protectors come in all different sizes, shapes & prices, so a suggestion would be get yourself to MCA or MAW & try on a few with your leathers on leave a deposit of some discription & go for a ride to test them out. you want the protector to basically cover the length of your spine, but not too long that it wants to sit in your undies I suggest the ones with the shoulder strap & waist strap that doubles as a kydney belt, I used to have one that just had a strap round the waist & it used to fall down & thats a bit destracting. For price I suppose you get what you pay for & I have even seen pieces of foam being used in the PCRA meetings each to their own

Do a search you'll find this topic has been covred a number of times. Also make sur you have your helmet on when you try one of these on, don't want one too tall that it digs into the lid either.

I have one of those, expensive but they're pretty comfortable. I have Duck's disease and even with the short-arse version it sticks out from under my jacket slightly. Not that this is a problem .

Phil at Hi side leathers makes BP's as well. The boys are Both Kwaka owners (Multiple in Mick's case, like 5 goers I think)

Most of the locals & Road racers (esp the Juniors) start with them.
