They look ok. Much like tiger angels.

Anyone had any experience with these?

[Mr.Ed]

Well, I don't know if I'd be the first to try them... Cause they either are good or they're NOT!! And in the second case consequences are less than "OK". Plus for that money you can pick up a nice set from a known brand if you shop around (i.e. ebay).:ayyy:

[ROB83R]

Totally see your point.

But im not exactly an off the shelf kinda guy if you know what I mean.

I'm still shopping around. Just after opinions and experiences at this stage.

[Mr.Ed]

How big/small are you if I may ask?:confused1:

[ROB83R]

MEESSSIVE!


6ft 140-150kg's

I feel sorry for my bike sometimes.

[Mr.Ed]

What's that on a suit? 46/56 48/58??

[xcabbi]

Trust me, he's a big boy.

Are suit sizes related to jeans sizes at all?

[_chado77]

Trust me, he's a big girl.

I have been to aust-sales & bought a leather jacket for road riding,,very good price & Im really happy.
I was looking at the 1 peice leathers & am getting a set myself next year. They are a Joe Rocket copy. Very good quality [although a little heavy] & worth the money IMO. Very nice guy to deal with, with good service...

[ROB83R]

Thanks Mr Ed.

Like I said I'll be shopping around and trying on some suits.

Thanks Sbutler for the info. What's the quality of the stitching an armour like?

I've checked these out and measured myself up and i'll suit a size 60.
Going into frasers tomorrow too see whats going on.

[xcabbi]

Let us know how you go mate. I'll be in the market for some leathers after exams next week.

[ROB83R]

Will do. Hopefully I wont need any ky to get into it.

[Birdman45]

trouble is once yo go over a 58, you're having troubles finding anyone that does them, you'll end up going with a suit that you can just get in to coz it's all you can get etc.....If everyone thought that way "don't try it coz you don't know" then you wouldn't be able to buy anything. Does he have any feedback? Anyone comment on how they are etc?? Maybe ask??

[ROB83R]

Sbutler has a leather jacket from him. Check his post.

I'm getting pretty positive feedback from NFimporters soo far and Frasers.

It sucks being a large kent but it isn't the end of the world.

[sumo]

M8 I'm in the same basket, have had my last 3 suits made. The good thing about custom is they fit anything off the shelf there is usually a comprimise.

[ROB83R]

Yeah I know, im taking the $550 gamble and banking on the fact that im losing weight.

I can always have it altered later if need be.

[rumz]

After reading this thread i called NF Importers and tried on one of the Spyke 2 piece suits in size 58...

Absolutely beautifull suit, made in Italy and is very high quality...

Only problem for me was the pants were too long... I'm 175cm tall...Other than that it's a top suit for $450....

[Nickb167]

Ive got my eye on one of the newer alpinestar charger suits
http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=5280

goes up to 64 euro

Thanks Sbutler for the info. What's the quality of the stitching an armour like?


Double stitched everywere from what I could see. Very good armour. I think they had carbon fibre elbow scraper, & also carbon protectors in the shoulders. Not sure?
His stuff is pretty good. Like I said, i'll be racing in them next year..
Im not a brand name snobb. If its good gear I couldnt give a rats, what brand printed on it . I think you'll be happy.
Give him a call, hes a good young guy.:ayyy:

Oh BTW Rob Im not an off the shelf kind of guy either. I had to get my off the shelf leathers altered to fit my ever expanding guts!!:lmao:

[ROB83R]

I've ordered some spyke leathers.
I will however be purchasing the dianese replica armour for some off road riding soon. And possibly the armoured camo's.

Got one of the one piece suits today $750 size 60 (I'm 176cm ish and 100kg ish) this is the mid range suit as the top of the line 60 was saggy baggy and the 58 was scary as I got it on BUT getting it off .... opps

So riding home in full leathers tonight will beep as I go past the Mobil on KG road :) around 7:30 / 8:00

BTW they still have 20 or so
