Woah Bro, you are tall, man.

but according to your weight, you have the body size to fit into a size European 50-52. Whats your waist size and chest size? 52 usually can accomodate nicely 34 to 36" waist.

 

I can only advise in general the sizes that may most possibly fit.

differnet people got diff body shapes and length. so best to try before buying. and dont buy loose fitting suits.

 

If you are on a budget, perhaps you can look for Dylan or Reddevil76. Fella always thinks I'm against him, hahah. His suits are reasonably priced and value for money. but i dont know about his sizing. maybe you can PM him.

 

Cheers

 

p.s. Dylan, pass you business leh.....fren fren lah, hoho

Thank you, Throttle.

 

He is a size Euro 54. Anything smaller, the crotch area will pull the balls to the sky.

 

And no, I dun think you have anything against me personally Cheers!

[Throttle]

If euro 54, will the waist hip area be too loose?

you are probably right about the crotch area. hahah! good one

 

i presume 1.91m at 85kg is pretty slim becos I am 1.7 and I am already 79kg.

I wear size 50.

No lah, waist will be ok. I'm a 1.86m with waist of 35, weigh about 78kg. I'm wearing 54 also from Spyke.

 

I tried Dainese and it was a bit loose on the waist but Spyke fitted quite well. Like you said, most important is to try the suit on. Numbers are only a rough guide...

I am in uk now, and there a couple nice suits on sale here which i think so far the price is quite reasonable... Dainese, ARLENNESS

You're kidding me??!! Singapore is no doubt the CHEAPEST PLACE to get your suits. Try searching for the same exact model and see how much it cost in GBP in UK and here in Singapore in S$. The exchange rate is so ridiculous nowadays you're sure to bang balls if you buy your suits there.

May or may not lor... afterall, everybody stretches a suit differently. Some people got wide shoulders.. or stout limbs.. etc. So best is still a tryout to confirm..

 

Anyway, I now have 7 last suits remaining. After this, I may quit doing this sideline. but will still attend to any after sales support. So anyone looking for budget suits, this is your last chance!

 

Red - size 52 & 54

 

Blue - size 50, 54, 56

 

Gunmetal - size 54, 56

 

I am seldom online nowadays.. so anyone interested please call me at 93686795.

 

The suits can be viewed on http://photos.yahoo.com/kyoro_kaze

I was talking abt 2nd hand suits... of cos sometimes do appear some really cheap dainese new suit on ebay UK.

Saw New Talos 4 going for $2.9k & JR listed it in their online catalogue at $3.3k

 

Another Model: Pro tec full suit model . Let a new one slip at $1050 cos the size dun fit..

JR selling at 2200 , let say going for 40% discount ..still $1320...

 

 

Of course , u r talking abt ebay stuff which u need to bid for it... maybe be lucky if nobody fight with u and u can really get it at nice price.

[Throttle]

heh heh if zipper cannot withstand weight, it's time to throw the suit away.....heh heh

 

imagine if you take a spill and the zipper cant even withstand the weight of the pants............

 

can lah bro..your suit definitely good enuff...no problem...

[Throttle]

varas, clubhead is pretty much right about the price of suits. singapore is already quite cheap.

 

 

if you are already willy to pay $2,900 , what is $3,300??

consider the shipping and trustworthiness of the seller...

buy it locally

 

 

my honest advice, buy suit, better try.

 

dont try, cant try, DONT BUY.

 

dylan, please take over.

 

[Varas]

throttle, Clubhead>> I know that Sg do have really good prices compared to here. Just trying to bring out the point that , here might have some real good deals too. That's all... I would be weighting my options at the same time. But I not getting talos 4... too professional and $$$ for my level.

Hi,

 

Another method I do just to hang the bottom....

 

Zipped up the fly, and secure the waist velcro fasterners (Or whatever your pants have to secure the waist) like you would do when you are wearing it. Get a hanger, preferably those wooden ones from IKEA, slip it in diagonally all the way to the hip area. Hip area is bigger than the waist area, so you could adjust the hanger and just move the hanger up. This way, you could hang the bottom pants. BINGO!!!

 

I did this on my RS Taichi bottom piece.

hi...do u guys use leather care products to keep your suit nice and soft? can recommend any brand? saw armourall ...looks good...anyone try before?

[Throttle]

dubbins leather oil

dubbins leather oil

 

That's more to moisturise right. To clean, just get those leather cleaner meant for shoes. Works fine. And white leather will always turn a shade of yellow with use. Unless you clean it EVERYTIME after you ride which is unlikely

[clubhead]

Anyone saw the new Spyke Cyber suit with carbon panels on the shoulders and back hump? Oooooo, I just gotta get my hands on those. Motoworld used to bring in Spyke but has since stopped Anyone else knows who carries them?

[splat]

I think most brands will carry full suits for Ladies, but perhaps in Sillypore, ya gotta place an order to get one.
