| | Posted : 20 Mar 2012 - 10:59 Post title : Triumph Raptor Perforated Leather Summer Jacket | | | My brother-in-law purchased a used Kawasaki Concours from a gentlemen that lives in West Michigan so I picked up the bike for him yesterday (fun bike BTW). When the seller realized that I rode Triumph's he showed me the brand-new, with tags still on it, Raptor perforated leather jacket pictured below. It is a beautiful jacket and had it fit me, I'd have bought it in a heart-beat, but my belly is a bit too big  . He recieved the jacket as a present, but sold his Triumph for the Concours before he ever wore it.
Anyway - it is such a nice jacket, and a great price, that I offered to post it here for him. Price is $150 plus actual shipping. If interested, PM me and I'll put you in touch with the seller.
Jacket is a size 44.

FYI, that may be a knock off, the raptor jacket is a mesh jacket. I did countless searches for that jacket and came up empty.

I am not familiar with the Triumph line prior to 2009, but I will tell you that it is leather, solid, and heavy.

too much? 
Kidding (mostly). Nice jacket. Shame it wouldn't fit as I'd certainly spring for it. I'd love to get a good perf jacket.

I was thinking the same thing upon first look, but for a different reason. If you notice, the arc from the R does not connect to the H in the word Triumph. On all their Jackets it does. But, I believe that an older version (not sure what years) of the Triumph logo, the arch did not connect. This may explain why the jacket may be an older model.

Don't get me wrong - I have no skin in this game - just doing this guy a favor. He's a 57 year-old retired military man and hardly the type to pull a fast one. Had this jacket fit me, I would have been wearing it yesterday for my 500 mile jaunt to La Crosse, WI.
