The jacket looks great. Personally, I’d get either red or yellow, but you know you’ve gotta match the bike. ;^)
As for the helmet… You couldn’t pay me to wear it. Nothing against the people who choose to ride with half- or 3/4-helmets, but I go full-face. Check the Hurt Report findings on helmet impacts, and you’ll be a believer too. Some 70% (just going off the top of my head — it’s been a while since I’ve looked) of helmet impacts are on the chin bar. To me, it’s just not worth risking.
