...for those of you who were following the 'leathers' saga, heres a cheeky photo Nige took when I wasn't looking! I'm really chuffed with them, they're comfy and nicely made. Only one thing I'm struggling with...the stretch panels on the inner thighs are making it really difficult to hang onto the seat...first time I opened up the throttle, and my @rse slid backwards lol Anyone else had this problem and can suggest a solution??
Me new levvers...

The Spy-shot of your new Leathers is great. Thanks Nige.
As for the sliding, do you have stomp grips on Morph .?
Fwiw I actually find that being able to slide myself around on the seat is quite useful.

Grip is good. If you don't like the stomp grip there are alternatives like snakeskin.
Nice looking leathers. Only the bestest bikers can carry off the black and white look

The seat pad on the seat cowl that your bottom pushes against when you crouch down, have you thought about having a thicker one made so you dont slide back so much ?
Actually thinking about it, that sounds a little extreme

Agreed with StMarks very useful to be able to slide a bit. Though not when your stopping and your nuts hits straight into the tank!!

Re: Me new levvers...
I put stomp grips on the ninja for the opposite reason, to stop me slinding forward as much under braking and they are great, for £40 odd quid well worth a try, I think they have improved my riding loads in terms of my body position on the bike, I was sceptical how much Id notice the difference on the road as I tend to slide less but it has really helped even with normal road riding
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
