Hey guys, who has any places to recommend getting leathers modified? im hoping to get a little more room around the knee and the shoulders, is this at all possible?
cheers

not impossible but highly unlikely me thinks. For the cost you could be up for you could almost get a new set.

Give Megan at Quin Leathers a call. PH: 0402 173 530 (she now works from home at Lower Portland) She will let you know what your up for and if it's worthwhile.

Megan does good work - she did my jacket for me but get a quote as it may just be cheaper for new leathers
I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!

We use MicksFix leathers repairs. He does a great job and exceptional value for money.

You should've talked to him out at the BSFOS on the weekend Pinchy, he was out there.
