RSVDon Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 So, I'm thinking about a 1pc and I've been looking around, but we'll just say I'm not of the best shape around. To get the belly and chest and legs correct my arms tend up being ridiculously long on the bike with rack size suits. There's a guy running a small company called Spartan Leathers, right now his price is $550 for a custom color, custom size 1pc. From everything I've read on reviews we're talking a pretty quality piece too.So I've been playing around with color combos for a suit. What do ya'll think of this one? Constructive criticism openly accepted. And yes, I have my title, registration, and insurance already sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 i dunno, i'm in pretty shitty shape myself, but my 2pc alpinestars fits just fine.i'm guessing you've tried on some (teknic, astars, others) and they just didn't feel comfy?

A larger chest and stomach, so I go a size up and now the sleeves are way too long. Plus, a custom fit suit for $550 with 1.4mm leather sounds pretty good to me. The other suit I was looking at recently is the Teknic Violater. But I haven't found one to try on yet. They are on sale at the same price now.

RSVDon Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Haha that looks pretty damn good man. From what I hear this guy is based out of Louisville, KY. You send him a pic like that and allof your measurements and 5 weeks later you got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrummerDave Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think its a good looking color scheme, particularly for that Mille in your Avatar (assuming that's what you Ride).Another option would be to do something crazy and have a red arm & leg, and a green arm and leg or something, and a white stripe in the middle, and you could be a rolling Italian flag.

jporter12 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Pink. Titty pink....Seriously though, even in Ohio, on a sunny day you'll probably want a lighter color scheme, it may not make a huge difference, but every effort to keep cooler helps...
