    Royal Dist. has a few http://www.royaldistributing.com/mai...tPageNumber=69 .

    I saw them a while back watching Speed's Superbikes where Jason Britton, the host stunter, started wearing a neck brace after breaking his neck in a stunting accident but I wasn't sure how they worked for sportbike racing.

    the royal price for the adventure leatt is too high.


    I sourced one for almost $100 less.


    I wear the GPX sport carbon model.

    To work with a roadrace suit(one with a hump) you have to cut a slot in the hump to allow fitment

    broken collarbones are part of the sport, I've done mine 4 times already.
    LOL you are one tough mother ****er, Donnie

    last time I broke my collar bone, I was in pain for a week, apparently they let those heal without any intervention, if it isn't fractured to pieces...

    Depends on who your orthopedic surgeon is. Mine will plate clavicles for me on request.
