90ft......I know what you mean about Kushitani's sizing. I wear a large in jacket sizes, (44-46 U.S. size) and had to get a XXLarge in Kushitani size and it's STILL a little snug. Got to watch what I eat when we stop! Heh heh.

I couldn't find any gauntlet gloves that fit over my leathers without cutting off my circulation.
anyone else have that problem?
These Helds I have won't bother you. I have no complaints about the gloves. (They are a little pricey, but if you fall.....)

Helimot saved my trip to Laguna this Summer.
I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't helped me out. He replaced my zipper in my piece of crap joe rocket pants, on race week, the day I walked in, in about an hour.
He didn't have to help me out.
They weren't pants he made or sold to me.
But he saw I was in a spot, and like anyone knows when you are in a spot on a road trip on a bike it is not a fun place to be.
Helimot told me that it's those moments that make the trip memorable.
He was right...

Thanks fish! Don't have a complaint with any of it. My wife kicked my ass several times Sunday doing different kinds of roll ons. We had fun till we ran through the entire bug population of the earth. Thats why I was taking pics. Here's one from Sunday.

princesskiwi......his service is second to none. Those guys spent a LONG time on the phone with me (I had to order mine to Kentucky) making sure everything was just right. They had me fax hand and foot tracings and asked dozens of questions to ensure the right fit. Everything was perfect when it came to the door and as you can imagine I was thrilled we got it right the first time. Then I get a call at work asking if everything was just right! I almost fainted. When is the last time someone called you to see if you were happy with the product?
Amazing I tell ya!

Nice helmet you have there. I have the Quint also. I bought it last year to match the zx11. I just bought a pair of Spidi Carbotech gloves for about $105 and I really like them. Almost bought the Helds but did not want to buy without trying them on 1st.
warbird I live in Owensboro and we should get together some time soon.

Let me know when you get back into town. We usually ride Indiana 66 thru the Hoosier National Forest up to Leavenworth and eat at the Dock or the Overlook.
My email address is sleeper22@adelphia.net
