bought a new Ducati jacket a couple of months ago just before I crashed my bike.
Since getting my bike back and feeling confident enough to give it a bit of welly I have noticed that the shoulders seem to "scrunch up" and catch the wind. It only happens when I go over 95! (private road).
I thought it was because the bike had an original screen fitted when it was getting repaired so bought a double bubble screen but it is still happening.
It is bad enough to force me to slow down.
If I crouch more so that I am flat on the tank and most of my head is behind the screen it starts flapping at the back near the collar!
I had an Arlen Ness Jacket previously and had no problems. The jacket fits me properly across the chest etc and a smaller size would be too tight.
Any thoughts? apart from stop driving over 95!!!

I do find the Ducati leathers (full) to be hopeless though. The get them to fit in leg and arm, you end up looking like the Michelin man - designed for some wee, 9st Italian no doubt. Your jacket though, could you not have put that through as battle damage with the accident ??? Only if it was damaged of course, I would never ever promote insurance fraud... goodness, you must have picked me up wrong
