That Tristian guy bumped me out didn't he. I hate that guy. IP has boatloads of one piece in the 500 range. Might at least help narrow down the size. Sizing sucked, I tried on 3 of them before I got it right. Still lose in the hips since I dont have any but zipped together the jacket holds it up.

Jester_ Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Il paste my for sale add. I need to create a new one as I edited a for trade add and think I lost a bit of attention that way. Its a legit well setup low mile R6. 2013 R6, 3600 miles Ohlins 30mm cartridges with 1.0 springs serviced by MDM part way through this season Ohlins TTX shock with. 95 spring serviced by MDM part way through this season LeoVince full titanium exhaust Translogic quick shifter Gpx pro lap timer Ohlins steering damper GB covers on everything Extra set of wheels Extra tail already painted 4 different rear sprockets Goodridge stainless lines Sbs pads with 2 days on them Armorbodies body work Woodcraft shark guard Certificate of origin Was bought new and taken to markbilt by original owner to convert it to a track bike. I am the second owner. Had a slow crash on one side at njmp this year. But I used tape the same color as the body work and it is well hidden. Windscreen is also cracked. Shoot me a pm if interested and I can send pictures, dont want to clog this thread up too much. I posted some recent videos from summit and I am done riding for the rest of the year so its gonna sit. I asked 8k in a FB group but understand thats probably a bit high. Would still like to get in the ball park of 7500 or trade plus cash on my end for a 16 R1.

No, Tristan didn't bump you, you are still one of those people. I have someone working on finding me a suit, she measured me and will see what works for my amazonedness. Unlike you I have hips, but I'm not built like a square like most men, so men's suits don't fit exactly right, except in length so we'll see was happens. Luckily the season is winding down, so I have plenty of time to search for this holy grail of suits... lol 3 hours ago, RidersDiscount said: @tall_tracy I have plenty of suits and price points.

It's difficult to get bumped from my list but it happens occasionally... Yes, he asked me how I knew you last time I saw him and told me he had worked for your son.

what Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Danimal said: https://www.spartanleathers.com/motorcycle-leathers/spartaness-1pc-motorcycle-leathers-custom?zenid=188sbbukmfvg85lfhuf0vep151 tell him Danimal from SV Rider recommended him. Good stuff. Custom fit. Not as costly as many I remember when this guy was just getting going selling his suits, glad it has taken off for him. I may look into a suit from him next year once I drop another 60lbs. Edited October 4, 2017 by what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Spartan's pricing used to be downright insane for a custom-fit suit. They're still well-priced, but I'm kicking myself for not buying a custom fit 4 years ago. Keep in mind that there are people who will do alterations to off-the-rack suits. I believe Barnacle Bill would do that. Not sure if he has retired though. But don't write off the possibility of having a $200 suit from Todd (for example) altered to fit the way it should for another $200. That's still money well spent for those who don't have an "off-the-rack" build. @RidersDiscount is welcome to correct me on this if I'm talking out of my ass, but their entry level suits ($500-$600) are still great quality suits - they just aren't necessarily built to crash 15 times without repairs. They'll still save your skin (and bones) if you go down at a track day - you're just more likely to need repairs to that suit sooner than the ultra high-quality models that are lighter, and meant to withstand a lot more use than casual trackday riders will likely put them through.

Can't comment on the Spartans product as I do not carry and have not seen in person but I can tell you that you can still get a great suit for the money in that price range with a brand like RST. It's more than just price point you want to look for, some offer better protection, upgraded armor, stretch panels for better fit, thicker leather in the right places ect...As always, I am happy to help with questions.

TimTheAzn Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I've crashed multiple times in my RST. And I believe @Jester_ went down in it once or twice before I even bought it. Still alive and kicking. Needs a good cleaning though.... that reminds me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_ Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I think I only crashed in those RST the one time. But who knows after that mess of a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
