I picked up an M750 back in September but couldn't get everything together to get riding before the end of the Illinois riding season. I've been trying to cover my bases for spring prep with licensing and stuff I need and wondered if I could get everyone's opinion on the stuff I'll be wearing. I tried to research and ended up getting a lot of end-of-season deals, basically I think I'm covered but hoped I didn't jump the gun on stuff, I've had a lot of time to sit and think about riding so I end up buying s*** instead 
HLC RPHA 70 ST - one of the lightest practical helmets, lots of venting, drop-down sun visor, matte titanium
KLIM Drifter - understated waxed canvas jacket, very well built, 5pc D30 armor, steel blue (darker than not)
Bilt Sprint - pretty basic gloves but they came with the bike, might upgrade but they do fit well, black
Bull-It SR6 - fabric pants, 6+sec of abrasion resistance, +1 size up to fit comfortably (wear 36/30 straight Levis but needed 38/30 SR6 for same fit), black
Alpinestars Ridge WP - medium-height, waterproof, reviews seem to suggest good sport-touring and all-around protection; might be a bit bulky/stiff, dark gray
