I am potentialy buying a used 2pc alpinestars suit from a member here, which I would say is in good quality with minor scuffs, and a seam that needs to be repaired. The jacket fits nice in the arms/shoulders and has room enough for a back protector.
My problem lies with the pants.
When the whole suit is on me and i am sitting on my bike, i feel like there is "a lot" of added effort involved with picking my toe off the peg and bringing it down to shift and then back up again(keep in mind i have only road in jeans before). The pleated part of the suit that is right above the knee seems to be almost at full strech capacity when my toes are up on the pegs. All the padding seems to be where it is supposed to be. Considering this is a used suit i doubt it will form fit or strecth to where i need it too? The bike i plan on riding is a 2009 750 gsxr, that has stock adjustble pegs. Should i lower and bring em closer? Is this how i am supposed to feel? Ive never had a pair of leather racing pants.
I have looked all over teh int3rnetz for advice on how i am supposed to feel while in a suit, or what to look for when buying one. Nothing too informational popped up. So i turn to you, people of NESR.... Will you answer the call??
Its a great suit and for the money I do not want to pass this up. With that being said i also do not want to put myself in a position to ride with a disadvantage before i even turn the bike on.
Anyones advice/tips would be helpful...
