It's really a matter of personal preference whether you get a 1 or 2 piece. My first suit was a 2 piece b/c I thought I could get double duty out of the jacket. But I didn't wear the jacket alone as much as I thought I would b/c jackets from 2 piece suits tend to be more cropped (out of necessity b/c the way they are made to zip onto the pants) and I hate short jackets. I like hip length jackets.
So, if you like that fit, maybe a 2 piece would make sense for you. Some people think that a 2 piece may be marginally less safe b/c the zipper connecting the jacket and pants is a weak point. This might be true, but I never called upon my 2 piece suit to prove itself that way.
I really love my 1 piece. It does feel a little more comfortable to me.
Great! And I don't even have a manual to look in. The guy never sent it to me after his kid went back up to school. I think it's time to email him, he'll send it.
What fuses do you have to pull? For all lights?
Tam, what days would you be going up for....all of them?
I think the fuses are on the left kind of under the side fairing near the tank, I'll look again when I get home to get you a better description. pull the fuses for the lights. Check as you go though, you don't want to pull the one for your gauges.
1 vs 2 Piece leathers - I have a 2 pc, and I do where the jacket all the time without the pants. I like the 2 pc also because you can mix and match the sizes.
I think I would like a 1 piece too, if I could get it custom fitted.
I'm not sure you can always mix and match sizes (for a 360° zip). In some cases, the zipper isn't the same length between sizes, so it wouldn't be a perfect match. You'd probably want be able to try on the pieces you are mix-n-matching to make sure it will work before you buy them.
I found leathers. Ended up with the Teknic Venom 2 piece. Found the jacket on ebay, new and the pants on another site. I got the pants for $99 and the jacket for $69 + 15 for shipping...so like $82. I'm Stoked! Whatcha think Tams? Tis good?
