I have looked everywhere I know to find leather riding pants in long lengths, but have had ZERO luck. I have tried on every brand I have ever heard of with no luck. I have even emailed all of the custom racing leather places and scored no replies.

Also what is a good source for online S3 parts? My doophus self dropped my bike pushing it out of the garage and now I need a new brake lever (zero damage other than this luckily).

Thanks!

Vanson or Barnacle Bill will make you custom leathers. you just have to send them you exact measurements. Better yet, take a trip to get measured. Fall River mass. isn't exactly a vacation destination, but the Vanson shop is a cool place, and the girls that work there are kind of hot.

If you are prepared to pay between $1400 and $1800 for a premium suit then Helimont is the way to go. Everything they make is custom to your exact measurements, but ouch the price! On the other hand, I have over $700 in my suit and it's not even close to the fit, quality, and workmanship. You get what you pay for.

Oh, and your brake lever should be a standard Kawasaki item. Take it in to any Kawasaki dealer or motorcycle parts house and you should be able to match it up for half the OEM price.

Another good custom leathers shop is Langlitz Leathers in Portland, OR. Not cheap but made to fit and last.

I email these companies, but they don't reply. I tried this last summer too.

I will try Langlitz. Never heard of 'em before this. Thanks.

aero leather makes some fine leathers. they also have horsehide which is thicker and extreamly waterproof! a bit expensive but worth it. i just got mine and i cant wait for them to break in. also you can have them custom made.
