Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Does anybody have recommendation for a one piece to fit an ample bodied dwarf,I tried on some alpine stars and dianese today and the fit was terrible.The legs were all baggy and the top half to tight even though the dimwit sales guy told me the fit was fine

Stop eating baltis.

cant make out the brand, but maybe these?

You got me all wrong

I'm a relatively big guy although I am pretty tall but I've found the rst gear actually fits me pretty well, also wolf leathers seems to fit well too, both British brands so can't help but feel made for more normal sized people as appose to skinny Italians, dunno if that helps mate

I got an rst one piece from the bikeshow in Brum end of last year, haven't worn it for a proper rideout yet but the fit is pretty good it's worth trying one mate.

Vango?

Ive unfortunately crash tested a set of RST's but they held up well ... so much so, my current set is a two piece RST

I think they have a reputation of being a 'lesser' brand but theyre coming more and more into BSB and WSB

Yeah I crash tested mine too, Infact before that pic was taken so they hold up very well mate

Thanks guys I'm going to try rst ,they are a good price as well.i used to use textport that we're a great fit but can't find them anywhere local

If you got time pop into Honda Tamworth ask for Steve or Lee tell them you know me (Graham) I'm pretty sure they do the RST tractech 1 piece suit which is what I got and I think Troll has and they'll do you a deal mate.

Ps don't go for black and red as we might look gay lol

Too late

Have you got a j&s accessory near you. They always have hundreds of sets of leathers from a wide range of brands.

All the Italian brands are shaped for the S.European body proportions, which is a shorter torso and bigger legs, the N.European body shape is a longer torso and smaller legs, hence manufacturers like RST, Held, Furygan, Frank Thomas and Weise are a better fit for us Brits. Fwiw I didn't come by this info randomly, I was at Hideout leathers in Cambs looking for something that fitted instead of strangling my man bits, Kate the the owner explained why I was having problems, I tried some Furygan kit on and it was fine, same with Held stuff. The only Italian kit I've got now is my track one piece which with a large back protector to change the chest to length ratio fits acceptably.

My next leathers will be held if I can get what I want. Lovely quality stuff IMO.

Held ?

Probably best known for their racing gloves.

Thanks for the advice on going British I bought a set of bks they fit nicely are great quality and have a double zip at the front to roll my belly up like a tin of spam.IM going to look a right knob wobbling round malllory in all my new kit
So if your shaped like a hobbit buy British buy bks

Did you buy some to match Bratty's?
