I bought some yamaha yzf R series two piece leathers and was just wondering wether they should be a snug fit as mine are like a second skin.

Cheers

With respect it the bod you put in the leathers that dictate the fit, don't want them too loose or too tight you have to breathe.

When I bought mine I was told to buy a pair that were a little bit too tight, this was due to the leather would stretch as it became "worn".

But yeah generally they should be almost skin tight (providing it doesn't affect your mobility).

Though you'll still get plenty of ribbing for having matching bike and leathers. Laughing
