Vanson or bates. It's a great investment!
Best money I have ever spent. I will have them no matter which bike I have, no matter what I'm racing.
My $.02 is if you do decide to go that route, make sure you let them measure you.

The problem with the mps suit is that the knee part will be between my knee and axle.If there was no spot for the pucks i would just get them hemmed.

You can't put a price on your skin... Just a thought.
One of my buddies went down at the manufactures cup at 120-130mph and he had a top gear or first gear suit on. It burnt through his jacket shoulders at a thick spot on the jacket and gave him just a little road rash.
Point is, a less expensive suit is ok if you ride a Harley or only go as fast as a 600.
