Preferred style riding jackets for Hyper?
I tried on my Dainese leathers that fit great when I raced, that was 12 years ago. Different riding position on the Hyper and the leather appears to have shrunk.... alot. So it looks as though Ill be buying a new jacket.
Most of the jackets Ive been looking at have a longer tail that would cover the gap if riding a traditional street bike, being bent over more.
Does the longer back touch, rub the seat of your hyper?

Nope. At least I've never had a problem with a jacket being too long. Unless you go with one of those adventure touring type styles.

Dainese! And, it has nothing to do with the Hyper being Italian and Dainese being Italian.  Seriously, I don't care where it's made. The Dainese Ducati Motard jacket is the best fitting jacket I ever owned.
