I have been looking around and also saw those. But a buddy at work bought one from GP Moto Leathers (also on ebay) and I checked them out. They are awesome so I bought my own. He had the Suzuki ones.

These are the ones I got: Item number: 370047924042

they sent me a 2XL which was of good quality and was almost right in fit - except the crotch! strangling the privates wasn't gonna get it - not enough 'rise' in the pants. sent them back for a refund. BTW, they fit my 6'2" buddy fine; but not my 6'3"

got this one today in 3XL, much better fit - but not as much ventilation, more oriented toward racing, better leather

Nice looking suit. Have you had a chance to ride in it yet?

Not yet, maybe this weekend. Street question for anyone - is it more gay to not wear pucks you don't think you'll ever use or to wear pucks that you'll probably never use? I can't make up my mind, so do it for me...

Go with no pucks and tell anyone who asks..."I needed more ground clearance...the pucks were hitting the ground too soon."......

Twenty some years ago a riding buddy of mine showed off his scuffed knees on his Levis when we gathered at the end of Angeles Forest Highway in the San Gabriel mountains. We had been spread out during the ride and I always suspected that he just stopped real quick and got down and drug his knees on the asphalt. Pucks on the street look ridiculous.
