Hollywood33 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've acquired some new gear that fits me a little better so I'm selling off all my other stuff. (Pics posted below) Alpinestars Carver Race SuitSz. 46/56Used this suit for two seasons and it has served me well. The suit is solid and in good shape. I've crashed in it twice (no injuries), so it has the expected scrapes and scuffs. There is a very small hole in one of the forearms, but there is armor behind it and it was so small that I didn't bother having it fixed. I also had to have the left ass cheek panel repaired. I put a decent hole in the leather there, and my leather repair guy ended up placing a new leather panel over that entire area. The black leather he used is a slightly different texture than the rest, but it is hardly noticeable unless you're looking for it. That part of the suit is probably stronger than it was before. Other than that this is a really good suit for racing, track days, or the street.$300 Komodo K-FX Race GlovesSz. L (but honestly fit more like a XXL)These gloves are amazing! Very comfortable and super protective. Unfortunately, I have very long, skinny hands and fingers, so the length of the gloves was perfect but there's just a little too much room in the body of the glove for me. Only used for a couple of track days and are in excellent condition. Quality gloves: kangaroo palms, full gauntlet with big wrist protector/slider, Schoeller Keprotec used in high impact areas, and Knox Scaphoid Protection System (palm sliders).$90 Alpinestars SP2 Race GlovesSz. LUsed these full gauntlet gloves for two seasons, and they show some signs of wear. Mostly cosmetic though as they are still solid with no rips or tears even though I've been down in them twice. The extra layer of fabric placed over the leather on the left thumb is starting to come off just from wear from the handlebar. I don't think this is a big deal though, they just don't look quite as pretty as they used to. Good protection for cheap.$40 Alpinestars SMX-R Race BootsSz. 47 (12 U.S.)Also used these for two race seasons and these bad boys show it! Crashed in twice but they saved my feet. Still a solid pair of boots but with a few issues: hole wearing through on top of the left foot from shifter, hole wore through on right boot ankle from rubbing on my heel guard, and sole of right boot pretty worn from the sharp ass Vortex foot peg. But still better protection than no boots at all! Would probably be nice for a street guy too who wants a little extra protection for "spirited" rides.$60 Prices do not include shipping, but I'm willing to meet people within a reasonable distance. I live in Cleveland, but will be in Columbus starting mid-May. Email is the best way to contact me: mpm109@case.edu Pics will be posted below.

owndjoo Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 interested in the Komodos if they fit bigger than a L. My Held's are XXL and are a big on the big side and need replaced anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah, man, they definitely fit bigger than a L. For reference, my AStars SP2's are a Large, and they fit fine, but a touch too short in the palm for my hand. I just got a set of Racer R-Safe's in XXL, and they fit perfect. The Komodo's fit great length wise, but had a little too much room in the body of the hand for me (but still wearable). I have long, skinny hands (keep the jokes to yourselves). Let me know. Wish you were closer to Cleveland and you could just try them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Matt, who did your repair work on the suit? I wonder if it would fit me better than my Spidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Repair was done by this little shoe/leather repair shop on Mayfield Rd. in Mayfield Hts. I forget the name, let me see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely bring the gloves with me. I probably won't make Mid O until July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
