TWO MATERIALS, ONE NEW LOOK
Sunglasses come in all kinds of colors, shapes and sizes. The Oakley Twoface ($140-190) combines an "O Matter” upper frame and aluminum lower with patented "Plutonite" lenses that filter out harmful light, as well as protect from impacts you might encounter on the road. Available with Oakley Rx prescription lenses. 800/403-7449 oakley.com
FOR WOMEN WHO LOVE ADVENTURE
Attention, ladies: Prevent poor weather from ruining your next ride by slipping into a suit cut for your curves. Though advertised as “entry-level," the fully armored BMWMotorrad GS Dry Suit ($599 jacket; $399 pants) is feature-packed, with seven pockets, zippered vents and a breathable, waterproof coating applied to the 500-denier cordura-nylon shell. 800/831-1117 bmwmotorcycles.com

BETTER-LOOKING NINJA 636
Beautify the backside of your 2013 Kawasaki ZX-6R with a Targa Accessories Fender Eliminator Kit ($79.95), The kit replaces and relocates the stock turnsignals and moves the license-plate bracket flush with the supplied underseat tray, giving the tailpiece a smoother, less cluttered appearance.
