Chaps, you mean those leather things that girls wear with thongs??????[sm=insomnia.gif]


Sorry, just kidding,

.......they are better to be too long when you are walking, than to be too short when you are riding. Just cut a little off at a time and then as someone above said, sit on the bike a few times until you find the length you want.

 

When you stand they should touch the ground if you didnt have a boot to stop them.

 

Thanks for all of the help folks, I will wait untill I can go over on the bike and make any adjustments then. Thanks again


Be Safe

 

best advise don`t buy them they are so damn silly looking where pants or underlegs, if it rains and you walk into a rest, looks like you pissed your pants besides being gay as hell

 

It seems that at the H-D dealerships that they always carry the 33" length chaps and the salespeople always say "just cut them off and they will be the right length".The problem with cutting them off is that you lose at least 1 of the snaps. If you look at the H-D website, you will see that the chaps actually are available in different lengths. Go to your dealer and try a pair on for fit around the waist and to make sure that they are sung around your thighs, then order a pair that is the right length so you don't have to cut off any of the snaps. Even if you have to trim 1/2" you still don't lose any of the snaps and the lower leg will fit correctly around your boot. The trouble with the sales people is that many of them don't ride motorcyclesand they don'tknow that you can order the right size - as far as I know theyaren't evenaware that different lengths are available. They would rather sell you what they have on the shelf and be done with you, especially if they are working on commission. Order a pair that fits and is the right length and you will be much happier in the long run.

 

Now that I am down from blimp size the chaps I have are unwearable - unless I start them around the armpits.

...anyone need a pair of 3x chaps?

 

Grunt. Use them to cover your bike when it is parked.

 

My chaps go from the ground all the way to just above my @ss.

(Sorry guys, I couldn't resist.)

 

Sorry Lisssa this has to be said:
