Full leathers

FT BSTRD · 10-12-2008, 03:50 PM

If you are going custom I recomment NJK Leathers (www.njkleathers.com) or Barnacle Bill (www.racingleather.com).

I tried AStars and found that they are cut for anorexic women.

I currently wear MotoGP separates that allowed me to fit pants and jacket separately. The jacket came with a full zipper, but the pants didn't. I had Barnacle Bill to install one for $25.

Vanson is very good stuff but spendy.

I don't know HOW gorilla you are, but I have a new MotoGP Corkscrew jacket that I will sell CHEAP.

Frank Thomas is an ENglish brand, they're generally cut to fit taller/thinner riders. (As are most brands manufactured mostly in europe)

Check out the WERA Forums for used stuff cheap! forums.13x.com I got a brand new set of Teknic Violator leathers for $225 shipped.

Sometimes you can even find a set of cusotm leathers on there, plus if they have scuffs it adds cred!

WERA forums have TONS of suits for sale. TONS. Everyday there's like 2-3 pages added of people selling all kinds of stuff. You may be able to scoop up a decent suit.

Very true. And leather will save your ass. You best get into it asap.

There's a lot of people that work for vendors, too. I put the word out that I wanted a Shoei Kagayama replica and a few of them responded quickly with either links to cheap ones or ones from their store. I found a used one on Ebay, but the brand new prices weren't that bad.

Post a WTB there, yo.

You sound to be about the same size as me. I have a 48 A* that needs to be taken in for the lack of a better word. But with a back protector it fits fine. I would see if you can try on a 46 for the hell of it. It should fit pretty tight while getting it on and standing, but relax when hunched over in position.

If I could have found a 2 parter I would rather have gotten it, but you take the deal in front of you when your bargin shopping I guess.

All the places already mentioned and Craigslist is a good place to find deals...
Check more than just your local area. I found mine on a FL c-list and had it shipped.

$.02 Good luck

I am 6'1" at 200lbs runner/swimmers build. I got an A* RC-1 46 chest and it fits pretty well. I like all the A* stuff though.
