What you wearing?

[Fraggle]

Where you getting measure for that Fraggle?

Bahnstormer in Maidenhead. Had it done yesterday. BMW provide the dealers with a fitting kit which weirdly does not include a tape measure. Instead it has a red ribbon with no measurements making more of a faff than it should be.

Waiting on getting the quote back to find out the cost, but going for the kangaroo hide option.

Sounds extremely simple compared to the multitude of measurements that BKS used to take. Be interesting to know how it fits, expect hefty price tag!

Well that ended up much cheaper than I thought it would. ?1,255 (or ~?1,130)

Yeah, that's where BMW re-direct to. I'll let you know what the suit is like when I get it in about 7 weeks or so.

That title makes me smile when I look at it...

Price update: the original quote didn't include shipping and the dreaded taxes. Brings it up to ~?1500 in all; still cheaper than Dainese (which starts at ?2k for the custom suit without being able to choose your own colour scheme)

Is that with airbag option?

Sorry Alex, I haven't even looked at airbag options. Race Pro suit didn't list it either

I use Alpinestars RaceReplica 1 pc suit. I used to have Alpinestars 2 pc suit, but 1pc is so much comfortable with you wear it. With the new options about airbag I think it is the way to go. It offers so much more protection for street or track. I believe in the future (next 5 years) the airbags will cover most of the body surface and will be way cheaper.

Got my Race Pro suit today. Was a little nervous that something went wrong with the measurements (this is 2020 after all), but I shouldn't have worried. Fits perfect. Now I just need some nice weather so I can try them out on the bike.

Shame they don?t do a 2 piece version

[Fraggle]

Yeah, I've always had 2 piece up to now. Gonna miss having pockets, the suit only has one that isn't even big enough for my phone

Nice.

Thats a great find, I'm in the hunt for a decent Suit. I checked UK and the fields/details are mostly still in Italian..

Their already heading down in price.. 1000 gets you a decent standard airbag suit with smart phone tech. It's definitely the way forward for any rider at that kind of money.

Looks brilliant, did you post the overall cost Fraggle?

It was about ?1500 in the kangaroo leather & extra armour; that includes shipping and taxes. Not bad for a custom fit suit in custom colours.

Completely !.. I'd buy that in a minute but I'm resigned to getting an airbag suit..
