My "creative criticism"...
As a sportbike rider I have the Ti-Max gloves as my heavy cold weather gloves...
And while they are awesome cool pieces of appearance...
They are PSYCHOTICALLY uncomfortable until they are WELL broken in. I've had mine 2 seasons and they are STILL uncomfortable to wear for extended periods. They're bulky, heavy, tight, and honestly - difficult to have good tactile response.
Also - they run small. So if you wear a large glove to start - expect to have to but an XL or prepare for discomfort even moreso as you break in the large.
As for using motorcycle stuff for your custom... I say go for it.
In my recent weight loss extravaganza - I'm planning on using some of my old gear I wore exclusively at the track (all black riding pants and jacket that zip together that are just SLIGHTLY too big now but can still be sinched to fit) to attach my armor too. It'll look very rugged. Very "battle undergarment" in feel, look, and rigid nature) and is sort of pre-armored in certain spots (shoulders, forearms, thighs, knees, etc to add that extra "masculine bulk" that sometimes a good mando needs for intimidation factor. Definately a divergence from the default flight suit look.
Heck - go down and check out some of the Alpinestars and SIDI racing boots. You want some futuristic looking stuff that is practically costume worthy footwear... that's it.
Not a ICON fan by any means when it comes to first choice of gear when I'm on the bike --- but when it comes to "cool" / "bling" factor... they make some nice looking stuff.
