Dude I am 6'4" too. What full leather suit did you find that fit? They are all either too short or the size of a walrus.

2-piece Alpine star suit... can't remember the size though... but it's a perfect fit for me.
It took me a while to find the size for me, but this one gets the job done.

oh you have a two piece, must stretch a bit better that a one piece. my one piece is tight on my shoulders and my frank and beans.

This depends on the relationship of the height of your torso compared to the height of your inseam. I have a longer than normal torso and have the same issue as you. Off the shelf you are stuck with getting a bigger size.

I would say that a two piece gives a bit more length in the torso.. while letting you keep the size in shoulders like you'd want. Plus it gived you the ability to zip/unzip between the two pieces.. ftw.

Anyone have any leads on V-Rod complete headlight kits? With the headlight? I've seen mounting kits but haven't found the actual headlight.

Very close to tearing apart my beater R6 and making it semi street-cafe'd cross breed.

^^ That ducati is absolutely amazing! Where in WI have you ridden? The kettle Moraine area around Road America is nice, and some spots around Madison have really amazing roads with some awesome sights to see.

Thanks. It was my mistress fer sure.

I ran the kettles once or twice. Was living in Madison at the time so mainly, I'd head west into Crud Run country. Also, many day-trips to the Mississippi (Prairie Du Chien, Lansing). Man - those were some of the best days in my life on that bike.

Song of the Sausage Creature. Anyone know what I'm talkin bout? ;)

HST and the 900ss. Great article!

Not familiar with what Crud Run country is I'm down in Madison pretty often to visit my GF, and we ride over by Tryol (snowboarding hill), so many great roads, makes me wanna move there!
