Looking into getting an air vest for next year, and being as I'm a fat guy the only one that fits me is the MLV-C. Has anyone used this one before? Looking for feedback on how it fit/felt, and how you ran the tether on the front and if you had any issues with the front mounted tether or mobility with it on. Thanks!
Pretty sure that's the one I'm using. Tied a rope around the stem area under the upper triple clamp and anchored the tether to it. I forget I have it on while I'm on the bike.
I run one and have crashed 4 times in it last crash I finally wore a hole through it, won’t ride without one. I have mine secured to the trellis frames on my rc8’s and 390. All on the right side and never notice them, once you get then adjusted correctly the coil/ spring in the tether keeps itself out of the way and stretches when you need to move. It took 1/2 a track day session (10 minutes) for me not to notice I was wearing it.
Won't ride without mine street or track. I have my tied to my subframe/battery tray between my legs. It was an adjustment at first but now it's not even an issue. Worth the investment, even though I have not deployed it. But it gives me peace of mind that I am doing everything I can to be safe while enjoying the sport! Mine is tether from the front.
