    I'm after a set of new leathers, my Arlen Ness are a bit tight round the chest and middle…. Any recommendations to go with a black bike??

    I don't want all black again, so what ye reckon???

    cheers!

    I always tend to go mainly black with some white, you could go any direction with yours though as you gave a blank canvas, bit of red or blue maybe?

    Thats like the holy grail question Si, i've been through 4 sets this year and cant make my mind up. Set i was most impressed with was Clover RC100, I still have them but i've lost weight and they are too big - that is a seriously awesome suit, so comfortable and well made. (if i feel confident enough weight will stay off i'll be fogging them). Personally all my leathers have been colourfull, although always have this leaning to black but never done it yet. Currently in some secondhand Hein Gerickes (i bought these SH as i'm slimmer than i've ever been) and must say i'm very impressed, that hiprotech armour is very comfortable. I had Dainese K in the one piece too but just didnt suit my build.....

    Tell you what, I bid on a set today as well but lost out, they were awesome looking dainese jack-F in black with blue/red/white details - that is a good looking suit.

    Twats.

    Serious question though, and no assless chaps. Don't want white, it's too homosexual, and middle aged. :D

    I gotta get me one of them. I shall wear it on the next norvern run, with a half face lid shouting "coooey" to all and sundry.

    Si, you could always go down the route of having them let out. Joyda Leathers in Wigan did mine for about £120. They put extra leather under the arms and an extra 6ins in the gusset, not that I'm bragging! Can hardly tell it's been done.

    I think its a tough call Si . Looking at all leathers in General and now the question is asked there is not a massive chioce that fits a Black bike (except for Black) .Soz.

    My best advice is nothing too flash. Mainly black is always best, just look at some of the designs we've had from Fieldsheer. Remember the dolly mixtures design......all the rage at the time but today you'd look a right t**t..............erm, any takers?
