Just posted to ebay...Happy bidding. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190480726841 The story: Vanson (The best Leathers on this planet!) was licensed to sell Buell jackets through the end of 2008. This particular jacket was only available from 2007 to the end of 2008. I was searching for a nice Buell leather jacket so I bought the POS Buell Turbulent Jacket wore it for a week before the zipper zips started falling off. So I exchanged it for yet another Large Buell Turbulent jacket only to have the same thing happen again a week later. Anyway, I noticed something at that point on the tag made in china even though Buell is American Motorcycles. Getting to the point I was desperate for a Buell Jacket that wasn't going to fall apart when the dealer mentioned Vanson Leather. I jumped at the chance even though it was $250 more and put in an order for one on January 6, 2009 for $651.90 (less tax and S&H, just before the official contract expired). Recieved it April 2009 (if you know Vanson then you know they are made to order not mass produced) and now it can be yours as I am selling my bike and all my goodies. The Jacket: Vanson leathers were made for real street and track use and this jacket is no exception. It is track weight hand stitched Firenze leather that has a zipper to accept Vanson race pants and compartments for various Vanson armor. It has vents in the back and under the arms that do a great job keeping you cool in the summer (unless you aren't moving). The reason I am selling at its asking price is due to the fact that I have worn it maybe 15 times as it sat at my parents place in Michigan for all of 2009. So it doesn't look more than a day old (still smells like new leather with all the oils still in it) and Vanson leathers are the BEST (Made in USA)! Vanson makes all of Hollywood's leathers, they made the Wolverine Jacket in X-Men and you might of noticed Will Ferrell wearing a Vanson in Talladega Nights. These jackets are hand made to order (took 3+ months to get mine). I think it be pretty accurate to say that considering the price at the time and that the Buell Racing Vanson agreement expired at the end of 2008 that there were very few of these jackets made. I've never seen someone else with one. http://www.filmjackets.com/UPCLOSE/Vanson_UpClose. htm  | ||

Spoke to Nicole at Vanson and she told me that only 200 of this jacket were ever produced so when I say "Extremely Rare" I mean it. Its been re-posted on ebay to reflect these facts: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=190480726841&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Let me know if you have question.
