a4srad 03-16-2002, 04:29 PM i'm going to buy some sort of leather monday. the only type i can fit in is joe rocket, i want alpinestar of spidi but there to small. i was just going to get a speedmaster jacket but for a few more bucks i should get the highside suit. what do you think i should get?? a4srad 03-16-2002, 04:58 PM one more question. if i get the suit, how does the jacket fit without the pants? i'd also get the faster blue and white one. Shogun 03-16-2002, 11:19 PM I did what you are thinking about, and got the Highside (2-piece). My first suit, and I too was looking at Spidi, but $ was my problem not fit. I am real impressed with the Joe Rocket suit, and the jacket fits great without the pants. I was told the suits fit tight (by the Joe Rocket sizing chart-website) so I went up one size (44). It fits great!! Also I have to throw a plug to kneedraggers for not only excellent service, but got the suit for $499 (retail is $599). Refer gixxer.com and they might nix the shipping cost too. www.kneedraggers.com (http://www.kneedraggers.com) a4srad 03-17-2002, 05:07 PM how's the spine protection on the highside? should i buy a spine gaurd or is the suit good enough? Shogun 03-17-2002, 05:25 PM Practically no spine protection just a pad. a4srad 03-17-2002, 05:29 PM does anyplace give you a discount for buying more?i'm should also get boots and gloves, if i call up kneedragger and say i want all this stuff you think they'll cut me a deal? also any imput on gloves and boots? i need some facts to choose the best quality fo cash. Shogun 03-17-2002, 05:36 PM I got some Alpinestars (SM-X) about a week later. Not only did they remember me as a customer, but they ate the shipping charges on the shipment. I had seen some threads on gixxer.com about them giving discounts to members, so I asked. I was told that some items they give a discount on and some they don't because their prices on some items are already so low that they make wery little if any profit on some items, but they did give me the ship. free (~$10). Shogun 03-17-2002, 05:40 PM Forgot to tell you that some of the gixxer members were saying that kneedraggers were giving some of them a 10% discount. a4srad 03-17-2002, 05:46 PM hey thanks for the imput images/icons/smile.gif i just want to make sure i don't get screwed on this. -keeping fingers crossed- it suckes i can't find a shop with any leather in it to try on. well i can but its nowhere near big enough. just wish me luck RADRB8 03-17-2002, 08:46 PM What's up my fellow MTNEER images/icons/grin.gif You are not far from PITTSBURGH try there!!
