I've just had my leathers altered because for some reason Italians think that everyone in the world has 40'' legs. I took them to Alterations Plus at the Dixon Centre Reepham Rd in Norwich.. The shop is owned and run by a lovell lady called Clair who is a fellow biker. She made a small change to my Dianese jacket and completley dismantled and remade the trousers. The work is first class and I was more than happy with the price. Julie has sent quite a few people from the shop to her and they have always been happy but its the first time I've used them. Julie is now thinking of buying an off the peg suit and letting them alter it instead of having a suit made.

Mine where a big job as all the armour was fixed in. It was £120.00 for the arms in the jacket altering and the trousers had to be taken in the lenght of the leg. It should have been £80.00 untill they realised the problem with the armour

kermit are the alternations when done consistant with the leathers safety values eg the stitching has the same 'burst value' (think thats the term?)
