second on the recommendation for SYED Leathers... been wearing them for 7 yrs now and LOVE THEM! best fit and quality for price bar none... been down a few times and never got an injury that well protective gear could not prevent  :thumb:

can go from as custom as you want to just the basics.. they do both road racing and drag racing... made to fit your desired measurements and style...

give them a try ask for Meredith and tell her DreamRyder sent ya  :wink:

I ordered some leathers from Spartan.  Checked all my measurements three times before I sent them in.  Went with the two piece since I don't go to the track too often to justify a one piece.

Should have them sometime in January.  $498 shipped for full custom leathers, not bad.  :thumb:

I went with them because I could afford a Bates suit.  Definitely think you'd be downgrading there, but I'll post up pics/review when I get them.  :thumb:

I just emailed Spartan, gonna ask them about a drag suit..... I need some leathers for drag racing and LSR but I need something $500 or less....I'm a long legged fukker and regular leather pants just don't work on me when trying to drag race....... I also called Joe Rocket and talked to them about their Pro Street suit....looks pretty good for the money but the pants are sized weird.....you can get a 33" waist but that comes with only a 31.5" inseam which is just retarded....I asked if I could get them longer and they said no so.....that wipes them out.... Hopefully Spartan will come up with something, if not, I will have to roll with the gay ass looking, power ranger MPS leathers.....can't beat the price though.

If you need leathers before March count Spartan out.  He waits until he gets x amount of orders then sends it off to the manufacturer, then they make them, ship to him, then he repacks and ships to the customers.

I ordered mine at the end of December and have yet to receive them.

Thanks for the heads up....that shit ain't gonna work... I just got a lead on a local leather shop, I am gonna talk to them about making some pants from scratch to zip to my Vanson jacket.  They do the work in house....we'll see....

Good luck on your Spartan suit. :thumb:

yeah alan if you can find a place to fit some to you for a decent price go that route.

i don't like the generic fit of the MPS even though they are decent for the $$.

I just don't like the tapered leg on them....I want over the boot cut so I can slide my legs up and down inside them easily.....The old road race style leathers give me hell when bending my knees trying to pull my long ass legs back up to the pegs....

As seen here....notice my foot is in the air and I am in some kind of a fucked up position....like a monkey humpin a foot ball...


I gotta get some shit I can ride in...

I took my current (new) taiwan pants and vanson jacket to the local leather shop, they fitted me like a brides maid.... :D

To take about an 1 and a half out of the waist, put a 3/4 around the body zipper for the jacket to zip to(brass HD zipper) and replace the zipper in the crotch with a brass one was $140 total.......its a lot of work so I was happy with the price, lets see how they come out...  The leather on the taiwan specials is a very close match to the Vanson, they are straight leg, over the boot and baggy in the legs......they should work real well if they fit right when done.... I will let you other Heavy Hitters know how it comes out......  Just another option for us broke fukkers with big bellies....

SYED usually has a great turnaround time for those who can't wait long - speak to Meredith and tell her DreamRyder sent ya - she'll take care of you  :wink:

E I was trying to decide if I need to buy another jacket or just lay off the cheese burgers for a while but......luckily, I figured out my Vanson has an adjustable waist thingy on it so I can stretch it out just enough to get my gut in there......If I dropped about 10lbs it would fit me much better but.....just can't bring myself to do it.... :D    Its hell to get old..... I am glad to be in with the Heavy hitters now though.... :lol:


Oh yeah and don't think that when the chick was measuring me for my leathers she wasn't eyeballing what I was workin with in the gut either.....  She pulled out the measuring tape and I thought to myself......"OH LAWWDDD".... I am pretty sure she wanted to molest me though... :wink: 8)
