Well I decided I would give them a try. Nice folks there and they are close. Repair on my shoulder was $40 bucks. This included double sided leather and stitching. The only nice thing I would say is that they are very nice there and close to home. Down sides: mmmm Could have done that work my self. Square piech of leather, some glue, and stich it in.... Im not happy. With 2 minutes of extra effort it could have been cut to fit the area so as not to look like a patch at all. 1100.00 dollar Spidi and I have a 4 yr old patch job on it. Anyway, for the northern crew and dont want to travel so far south to get work done. U R SOL. Now anyone got a VP patch or 2? :D Approx 4".

Unfortunate.

I had 2 suits which didn't fit, completely resized and rebuilt for $90 each. We're talking alterations to the old leather, addition of leather to the front, restitch a seam here and there plus putting the zipper back on in a different place.

Roy at ShoeBox Emissions ( west colfax ) did the rebuild on the first one in 2 weeks and experimented, I tried it on twice during the experiments to give him a reference, by Suit #2 he had it down and was done in 2 days. He fixed my boots with a bad zipper for $5.

I got a recommendation from this board first, they were a disaster, time and performance wise, got the good tip from TFOG.

Well I had my lettering and graphics done by Heather at BAB Racing. She is pretty far south. I think her number is 303-617-1650 Im not sure she does alterations or not, but I was happy with her job on the graphics. A long hike down there for me up here in the boonies though...

Another possibility is a buddy of mines sponsor. Its not in CO though.... but said to do great work.
