Very nice mate, I'm looking to get ness leathers like that but don't know what kind of leather will be a good fit with my build (6ft3) fairly slim

Anyone know who's good for that?

Looks top though 

BKS,  leathers don't get any better.

or pricier!!

thats right yogi me ol' china, saved over a ton on buying them there, rather than from a shop

[r1ninja]

Another vote for BKS, wish i still had mine   However bought some RS Taichi last week and they feel almost as good

[zxyogi]

Oh well i'll make do with my sons old power ranger playsuit for the time being......bit tight mind.......

Glen, just gone from Alpinestars to these and the difference is amazing, Kangaroo leather is really supple and they seem to fit better for me too, I'm only wee and got a size 40.

I am a 44/46 I change size alot but I have managed to stretch my 44 Alpinestar's suit so it is a better fit now..... it has been crash tested to at 70 and did its job awesome...

I nearly bought the arlen ness suit that didn't have any back protection and I am glad I didn't as I would have a sore back from coming off....

Alpinestars 1 - Tarmac 0

you're built like a tank, so not surprised the tarmac lost!

I took my back protection out of my leathers and now use a Knox. Next year ( 40th B/Day) I'm getting new leathers, my 10 was supposed to be for tehn but got it a year early so the wife has said new leathers.

I have lost a bit of weight since my accident not being able to get in the gym but... I am back in and hopefully can put the stone on I lost

I do like the kangaroo leather suits .... one of the main reasons I went for the alpinestars was it was on sale for 750 quid down from 980 and it came with the free back protector..

I would of had to of spent 899 quid for the Arlen Ness ones 

[Shongololo]

Wish I could loose a stone in weight. 

[GRNINJA]

I could get you to lose a stone easy... depends on how committed you want to be..... if you really want to lose it send me a PM buddy I will give you some advice

Err the suits they get are handmade and bare little resembelance to off the peg, apart from the colours

The Arlenness suit looks good, fantastic choice 

I have great difficulty getting leathers to fit properly, what with being 5ft 4in and a fairly small size.  If the top fits the legs are far too big, or the waist is far too high so that its up by my boobs.  I'm going to cornwall on 6th July so I'm going to take a pit stop at BKS on the way down - get them to measure me up and give me a price.
