Dainese - Costa Mesa
Berts Mega Mall in West Covina has the best selection. Full retail usually tho.
Cycle Gear usually stocks some A*.
Hahm in Anaheim might have a couple.
Chapparel's in San Bernardino has a wide selection of everything plus great prices.

+1 on Terra. They have lots of boots in stock. Give them a call and let them know what you need.

see above big pete... the kevlar, this was purely by accident. I saw the price, and said... "Damn that s deal" then after ordering, I saw that the price was for the outer only(hahahaha) I guess I can reuse the inner after taking a tumble. Never knew that. But oh well, these are probably the last boots I will ever NEED to buy so what hell. Motorcycle boots have always been the most expensive shoes I have ever purchased, usually I am a Timberland kind of guy (very reasonably priced)... but I splurgged here and got the all black kevlars)
thanks for your help( you cost me a pretty penny )

haha...forgot to mention the price but you got killer boots. I know a lot of the AFM and some AMA guys use them. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to pop $8-900 on some boots

There are a lot of AMA guys who use them and get a look alike outer shell to make the sponsors happy.

Yeah... ditto on the vanson. I have a custom logo so I need to add that cost, but it's a simple logo. My old stuff has just giotten long in the tooth, and I may kick it down to a friend that is just learning to ride
