Z Custom Leathers, in Huntington Beach CA, made our suits.  Nancy's was pretty basic, with three colors and some graphics and her name.  About $800.  Mine have built-in hard armor, an aero hump, three colors, lots of lettering, and cost about $1500.  Both are two-piece, metal zippers throughout, minimal perforations -- legal for both SCTA/BNI and ECTA.

The fit is about as good as one could possibly get.  Let's see if I can find a photo. . .

Yeah, here's one.  It shows the jackets -- the pants are simple one-color.  Good price for multi-color and our choice of pattern for the colors.

Well hello there. Got some more pics of my bike and one of Willies. While I was out there taking pics I heard him mumble something about... thermal nuclear devise.. Mushroom cloud...and an A license. Not sure what he was talking about??? Probably don't wanna know  :-o
Anyhow, here are a few pics of my new front wheel and tire and the rear wheel and tire and a rear brake caliper bracket and some mess that Willie has going.

Happy Holidays.

Oh yeah, Eric thanks for coming down and spending a couple of days with us. Hope you had a good time. Since your off for a week won't you come back up. It's just a short little drive.

Dang Willie, where'd ya learn to weld like that?  Nice beads.

My welds look like somebody gooped a glob of goop on a piece of metal and said "there that looks good". hahaha

Hi Sheri I know what the mushroom cloud that Willie was mumbling about was It was probably all the nitrous Questions I have been bombarding him with, I am suprised he has time to work on your bike,Which by the way looks absolutley spot on you have a very highly skilled craftsman there.

I have some more pics. One is the harley speedo drive on a Yamaha wheel. The other is a microswitch on the carb to activate the nitrous at full throtle. The other is a coil mount and the shifter assembly. Willie had some time today to do these. Enjoy.

Happy holidays Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year....

If it is a "sidecar" the location of the foot-pegs...
makes no diff............we have no foot-pegs..... only kneeler trays on our outfit.........so far (hopefully it will stay that way) sidecar rules have been left fairly open......................................................................

Oz, most of us read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, re-read, and re-read the rules to figure out what is and isn't required in which class, mixing between altered, modified, sidecar and whatever is as tough as it gets.
