new biker scout armor

Ok. Do you mean I should tell the seamstress to cut the lapel up to the green line?

The lower edge of the butt flap should approximately be at the green line.

I've tried to re-upload the last photo but I don't know what I've done, sorry. Is there a solution for the velcro that’s visible on the cummerbund?

Eyeballing it, but I'd put the flap at about here, in green.

For basic clearance, I'd hold off on surgery on the front riding patches, depending on GML preference.

Hi guys,

 

As a GML here, I think the patches with rounded edges look much better but taking into account the modifications that Nes is having to make to the suit, it seems OK to postpone them

[Nes]

I would like to emphasize the velcro on the cummerbund that sticks out. In addition to the velcro sticking out, it’s quite tight, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. The question I would like you to clarify for me is when a part of the suit is too small, in this case the cummerbund, is there a possibility that the seamstress can fix it in some way? Or does a new cummerbund have to be made?

[Chopper]

You might be able to get the velcro moved over to give you a bit more room.

Otherwise, you will need a new bund.

I have put wing nuts inside the helmet to adjust the visor as it would easily open when I moved my head. I have tightened the wing nuts hard and when I move my head you can still see a bit of the black rubber. I know I talked about it the other day and you showed me the link to the film frames and you told me that some helmets were like that but I don't really like it as most of my colleagues can't see them and I don't think it's pretty. The question is, could I put white elastic tape as it is a part of the helmet that can't be seen? If it's not allowed I would understand.

[Chopper]

I'm not totally sure what you mean, but if it can't be seen then that's a personal preference.

I'm sorry. My English is not very good. I mean I tightened the screws on the helmet because the front part was easily opening when I moved my head. After tightening the screws, when I move my head, the helmet still opens a little and the black elastic band of the chin strap is visible. I know it appears in the movies but aesthetically I don't like it very much. My question is. Can I replace the black elastic band with a white elastic band? Or if the black elastic band is visible a little, it’s considered an external element and therefore it isn’t allowed to use white elastic band. I don't know if it’s a little difficult to understand.

The chin cup is optional and not required for approval, so if you are not pleased with the aesthetics, you can completely remove the strap and chin cup.

If you’re looking for a way to keep the chin cup, but prevent the strap that runs along the side of the dome from being exposed when you move your head, consider adding magnets to the problem side to hold the visor in place. That should keep it from moving when you lean forward or turn your head.

Small circular velcro tabs are an easier option, if you are having issues with keeping the front visor closed:
