a flash site? :bs: those evil technologies are not allowed (and completely disabled from my system) in my browser. maybe some direct links to pics?
He deserves it he had a run of bad luck a little while ago......
That is awesome! Congrats! Yes, how about some direct pics?!
thanks everyone. Funny thing is that about 6 months ago I was researching suits and was gonna try swinging a custom suit. Kushitani was top of the list based on feedback I got but they are DAMN expensive. Like $1700 for a custom. Settled on Syed Leathers for under $700 but even that was way more than I ended up having to spend..which was zero. So I threw down a $10 for a raffle ticket...You can imagine how happy I am.
pics? its a CUSTOM suit...you'll just have to get onto the Flash site and get to their Easy Order System page for the fully custom suits.
here's a picture...I was thinking something as simple as this...more red and white, less black though.

I can see why you choose to spend $10 on a ticket instead of $1700 on the suit! Congrats man! :cheers:
CONGRATS ! You deserve it man . No matter what or who you are riding protection is # 1 .

wait a minute... that's not so different to the one I see you are wearing on the pics of your signature... I guess, just, newer.
Congradulations! (You will never go back)

YAY!! Congratulations! You *SO* deserve this! Now....about the pics you're going to take wearing your "custom-fitted" leathers... :icon_mrgreen: evil pandy made me ask that 8)
(Now, we know a REAL scottsman doesn't wear anything under his kilt..what does a REAL biker wear under his custom-fitted, TIGHT leathers?? :icon_twisted:

Boxer briefs?

What about custom graphics or name/number?
You lucky bastard!! That's sweeeeeeet!
That suit costs more than my first three cars put together!!!
Get some collarbone armor in it!! Sorry... I had to. :oops:
Congrats on winning the custom Suit man... lucky lucky lucky...go buy a lotto ticket right now!
I'm only 45% or so Scot....(One t only please Pandy :icon_mrgreen: ) ... I dunno about the whole kilt thing...but there's just something about WOOL....
Bahhaaahhahhhhh..
LOL.....
Congrats! :thumb:
If you want to make some money, I will double...heck triple what you paid for it. ;)
A little suggestion....make the back of the suit white. You will thank me later.
:bowdown: O0
Back of the suit white to hide scuff marks when Pablo crashes next? :laugh:
alphafirex5-ouch!
subc-I happen to like red/white and black. The difference this time is that its a one-peice and it will FIT right. I may add a little gold/tan accents as my helmet is red/white with godl pinstriping.
Rvertigo-someone I know had Kushitani do a dragon across his suits chest area so I think ANYTHING is possible. But I really do want to keep it understated and simple. Thats why I'm thinking of it in pseudo-retro terms. Trying to avoid the powerranger look. I had considered having PANTABLO done across the lower back...Going tomorrow to get fitted so I'll have a talk with them about what is possible. Again, I do want to keep it simple.
dgyver-white on back huh...was thinking white on front and red on back. white that much cooler to wear? Oh, and it'll be fully perf'd too.
hump or not? Thinking hump, just for kicks.
pandy-nothing. absolutely nothing.

Baby powder before you put it on... Or any other powder like that really......
I think you should go for the hump. They look good, if anything!
I think you should go for the retro look too. That understated black with white and red striping across the chest maybe? Or white with black and red?
(http://www.vansonleathers.com/images/jackets_detail2/detail2_sm/csr5_frt_small.jpg) Just throwin' out some ideas for ya.
actually I wear cool-max long sleeve shirt and pants under my leathers. keeps me cool in summer (and dry) and warm in winter. patagonia.

See... I thought you meant pseudo-retro more like this:

I love the look of that jacket... Too bad it barely qualifies as a motorcycle jacket... :cry:

Yeah, it will make a big difference. How long have you had to sit in pit out waiting for the session to end before you can go out? Sucks starting the first lap hot as he!!. If you have a umbrella chic, then it does not matter.
Go hump. Besides a little areodynmic help, it will provide a cushion for your upper spine in a get off. Plus they look kewl.
Do they have an option for external armor?
no effing way....congratulations pablo...im jealous....when will you get it? de-flower it at Bwillow 4/10...they'll run the track backwards!
White on back, red on butt and legs, red on shoulders (visibility), black on chest and arms (bugs/dirt/road grime).
if there was a way to save or hot-link from a flash site I'd show you guys what I'm thinking. The kushitani site has an Easy Order section where you can build your suit colors/patterns (Got Color, from home page there) but I dont have a way to show you guys...
Scratch, interesting. Kinda like red on front too.
I'm off for my fitting....
That's why I suggest the shoulders (including the wishbone area), so upper chest, bust area.
red front, shoulders, hips, legs.
white back, lower 2/3's of arms, aero hump (w/red accent)
white collar w red Kushitani logo (small)
black kushitani logo on thighs
white accent above knee
beige/gold stripe along outside of legs and torso, inside arms.
black fabric at crotch
red fabric at underside of arms and behind knees
red stretch lower back panel w/white kushitani circular mtn logo
very simple layout of color. minimal logos. I think it will be tasteful.
fully perforated
paid extra for a gor-tex zip-in inner liner for cold weather
2 months +/-

f'ing brilliant.

Needs more black, I think. You would look like a candy cane. Mmmmmm... peppermint.
Do not worry about the black. It will have plenty after his first get off. :laugh:
Not sure about the gold though, maybe a dark gray instead?
gold (beige leather actually) picks up some gold pinstriping on my helmet...matchy-matchy as my buddy says...
got it last week!
