Foxcroft, I have a Vanson jacket that I also purchased on ebay a little over a year ago and I agree these are great jackets. Mine is a sportrider type jacket too, I can't remember which model but it is perforated leather, it also has double leather in the elbows and shoulders, so it is probably similar to yours. Mine came with shoulder and elbow street armor but no back armor, it has a zipper in the liner at the bottom of the jacket that allows access to the armor. As far as I can tell there are no pockets for the armor just velcro to hold it in position. You just unzip it and place the armor in the best position for you. Some Vanson jackets come with armor, some don't but have the ability to add it, and some just have the double leather. I hope this makes sense and will help you out. As for the type of armor to use, I only have experience with street armor so I cant really help you with that.
