| Normal everyday street use? Probably no real bennies.
The do provide lower back support, help you maintain a better riding posture, reduce the jarring of the kidneys and a lot of rigid riders used them religously. Sport bike riders, and MX / off road riders and I believe most good leather now have them built in. If you are taking long trips you could reduce fatigue on your back and a lot of riders use them. | |

Also... If You Wear Them Under Your Shirt... When You Stop For A Beer You'll Look Really Fit And Trim With A Huge Chest Instead Of A Huge Belly... :d :d :d | |

| Don't know if DP has any accessories like that... however... any sporting goods store like a Sports Authority... go to the gym/weight section... should be many different widths... velcro adjustable ... or for sure there are "biker leather" sites that will have leather Kd belts... even Home Depot has the kind that the clerks wear while they're liftin' crates etc... | |
