I imagine there are a few different shops in the same country making these as I don’t recognize that particular name. I bought mine about 6 years ago. My only gripe is the cuff and the insides of the arms are cloth but you know there’s no damage anywhere. The leather is pretty thick and thankfully I’ve not had to test it’s road rash durability I think it’s a great looking jacket wear mine everytime I go for a rip! Edit My place customized mine slightly and I don’t have the Wilson’s name on mine either

Was just surprised to see the name of Bill Wilson's company on the jacket in the ad. He's a mechanic in the states that specializes on the RZ500.

Maybe Bill bought a custom jacket, and they used pics of his jacket to sell more RZ500 jackets.

Thanks to bolly and Jeff B for posting the jacket stuff.

I remember seeing a pic of a bunch of custom jackets with someone's bike collection. Super cool, and I've wanted a custom jacket since then.

Too much to deal with, and I just forgot about it. Until now! The bike-related designs are cool, but I want to come up with my own theme and design.

I'm having a much better day, just thinking about it. :smt006

Just checked. It was Straycat that posted the custom jackets that I wanted. It was less than 2 years ago, so you guys might want to compare price/quality/options with another source.

Thanks guys. I sent Straycat a message. Looks like it’s been quite some time since he’s posted though.
