rch10007 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have a set of leathers if you want to borrow them for a small deposit. Teknic 2pc, blue, black, and white. I'm 6'2" and I bought them when I was 225lbs. Now that I'm down to 205, it's a little loose, but I can wear jeans and sweaters under them in winter. If you come by to get them, I can go over launching with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm 5'10 think they would still fit? My bike is slow if i run a 12 I will be happy. The boots are my biggest concern atm If anyone wants to meet me at the pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thorne if I can get off of work that day you can toss it in the trailor with the R1. Also I can help you launch it if you want at the track. And honestly with a katana you prolly could follow Kennys advice and put it up high in the rpm and then work the clutch. That bike dont make enough hp/tq to launch any lower then 10k I would say. You will also need to keep the rpms up as you are working the clutch on the launch. And no do not just dump it.
