Fly Racing 5.5 HD PRO Same as Leatt 5.5 HD PRO?
I want to buy a Leatt 5.5 HD PRO. The Fly Racing model looks exactly the same to every detail and it is on close out. Does Leatt make this 5.5 HD PRO for FLY?:confused:
Here is a Leatt Rep explaining features on a different Fly model specifying that it is made by Leatt for Fly. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w2VlBchpJcY |
I just called Fly Racing and Leatt Distribution North America. Two different phone numbers but the same organization. The "Leatt" rep explained to me that the chest protector is exactly the same model both made by Leatt. The Fly Racing model is on close out $219 reduced to $136 with free shipping.:eek:

I have a BNS Alipinestars brace too. I have heard other braces are compatible with the HD, but when I get mine this week I will post an update on compatibility.:) |

Great find! thanks for posting Moto7man. I was eyeballing the Alpinestars A-10 full roost deflector. Pretty hard to pass up this deal

You are both welcome. I haven't worn an A 10 but I have worn an A 6 for last few years.

I got the chest protector on Tuesday night. It is a Leatt, with a Leatt Instruction and Warranty booklet and Leatt embossed logos.It is a serious piece of armor with excellent adjustability. I like it a lot.
However, after about two hours of adjusting and fitting, I can't get my Alpinestars brace positioned where I am 100% comfortable but be aware that I am very picky. The protector has front and rear insert slots for your brace. The manual shows that you can place your neck brace on top of these slots/inserts or into the slots/inserts. The Alpinestars brace will fit on top on each slot/insert and it will fit into each slot/insert, except it will only go down about halfway into the rear slot/insert. The slot/inserts each have a couple of screws but they are not removable because they are sewn together with the frame. At this point, I like the chest protector and the great flank and arm protection so much that I think I will buy a Leatt 5.5 gpx or a 6.5 gpx neck brace. |
