    WTD: 1 pce race leathers

    It's about time I got some new leathers.

    If you are or if anyone that you know of is selling a good quality 1 piece race suit for a good price, please let me know.

    I am interested in New Zealand made or Spidi, Spool, Spyke, Dainese, Alpinestars or similar suits...

    I am 5'8 and weigh 66-68 KGs

    Thanx, MR.

    Well, what about that outfit somewhere or other that someone recommended recently? Up in K-Road or wossname. Makes leathers to fit. Can't remember the name or website but I'm sure SWK will be along very shortly.

    Certainly if I needed a racing one-piece I'd be going to them rather than buying Dainese, Spidi etc. Not that the Brand Names aren't good quality, just that you don't necessarily need to spend two grand on a good set of leathers...

    I've only heard good stuff about Leda Leathers. I'd be planning on giving them a call when the time comes for me to get new ones.

    I went to her (K'Rd lady) and asked her to make me a suit cause I know NZ made suits are top stuff. She said, it'd cost me more than buying a well known branded suit (eg. A'stars, Spidi etc etc) so ya...

    I think only the top racers get their suits made just for them cause they can spend the $$$$ with the help of sponcers...

    I am really looking for something to match my blue bike. I want something that is a mix of or fully blue/black/white... How much do you want for em anyway?

    P.S. FF, I'll grab the leathers when I gain the extra 24 or so KGs!

    BTW, I am looking for second hand suit so I don't see how bulk purchase would work.

    If I can't find one here, I'll be importing a new one. Its that brand that they use in MotoGP as well, I forget the name... You know the one that has the angry eyes looking in one direction as a logo.

    Thanx, MR.
    Mate save your coin and check out MIR leathers. The imorters are forbesanddavies.co.nz but they will not sell direct to the public, but you can find out who their distributers are. I have had an off wearing them and they held up well. Cheap too. About $1000 for a full one piece suit c/w knee sliders and armour. Go check them out
