Will they even let you on the track with that??? I thought you had to have a 1pc or 2pc with a 360 zipper?????

it's got a 360 zipper and that basic zipper as a double, me and my mom are basicly re-doing the jackets zipper now, wow just a heads up for everyone " dont buy teknic " unless your a tailor.

That's pretty much the same for almost all off the shelf leather.... unless you fork it up for some tailored to fit Vansons.

Stupid question: Did you check it before you buy it?

I don't think any brand is immune from "oops" - even custom made.

Wow that's funny, my cheap off the shelf Joe Rocket Squid gear has a 360 zipper installed correctly and it's been down once already and still has life left in it(unlike my ego)

I have the Teknic Lightning jacket and sport pants, they zip together fine. It sometimes is a pain in the ass to get around the 8" zipper in the back when Im zippin' myself up but I manage. Make sure you're starting to zip on the correct side, which I believe is the left side.

Zip the jacket to the pants first, then step into the combo like a 1 piece

As they tell me here at work.... "That what we pay you the big bucks for..."

Glad I could help. I don't own a 1 piece, but I surf. It will take a bit to getting the tecnique of rolling your shoulders into the jacket.

CAN I GET A REP FOR THAT ONE!!!

I feel your pain bro', I just finished(after most of the winter) setting up my F4 as a track only machine. What a lot of crap to deal with, but I did a whole body kit and paint along with a full safty wire and parts purge from the bike. Good luck, got my first day of the year coming up in April.

Awesome, have fun! Im really itchin to get out there. I wanted to go last year but funds and time weren't on my side. Hopefully another couple weeks and Ill be ready to set a date.
