I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING DOING THIS FOR MONTHS , FINALLY I DID IT , IT TOOK ALL WEEK-END , I MEASURED FOR HOURS , I MADE UP A TEMPLATE OUT OF POSTER BOARD , SAT ON MY MAX , FIGURED WERE I WANTED THEM , BUT WHEN YOUR RIDING AND WALKING , THE SLEEVES ARE IN A MUCH DIFFERENT POSITION ! .. SO I COULDN'T PUT THE BOTTOM SPIKES EXACTLY STRAIGHT DOWN BECAUSE THEY WOULD OF HIT MY JACKET WHEN I WALKED , SO I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER TEMPLATE , MOVING THE BOTTOM SPIKE TIPS OUT ABOUT AN INCH , THEN I HAD TO TRANSFER THE TEMPLATE ONTO LEX-AN , ONE FOR THE RIGHT SIDE , WHILE TRYING TO REMEMBER THE LEFT SIDE WILL BE COMPLETELY BACK-WARDS OF THE RIGHT SIDE , MARK OUT & DRILL ALL OF THE HOLES , THEN WEARING MY FIREFIGHTER GLOVES , HEAT UP THE LEX-AN OVER THE STOVE AND WRAP IT AROUND A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS SO THE CIRCUMFERENCE CLOSEST TO MY ELBOW IS 6.5 INCHES & CLOSEST TO MY WRIST 5.5 INCHES BECAUSE RIDING JACKETS SLEEVES GET MUCH SMALLER TOWARD THE WRIST , THEN ULTIMATELY AFTER FITTING ONE OF THE LEX-AN PIECES IN AND LOOKING IN THE MIRROR & MARKING EVERYTHING , I HAD TO CUT EACH PIECE OF LEX-AN & OVER LAP THEM , MAKING THEM A HALF INCH SMALLER , IT WORKED OUT GOOD BECAUSE THERE IS AN OVERLAPPING SEAM IN THE JACKET RIGHT THERE SO IT OVERLAPPED THE LEX-AN THE OPPOSITE WAY SO I KIND OF FITS INTO THE OVERLAP OF THE SEAM ! ... THEN I HAD TO MARK OUT & MAKE 20 HOLES IN MY $400.00 JACKET , THOUGHT " DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS " ? .. BUT I ALREADY HAD ABOUT 10 - 12 HOURS IN IT , SO I HAD TO MARCH ON ! .. WHEN I WAS DONE WITH THE ONE SIDE I WAS LAUGHING , SAYING HOLY SHIT ! .. THEN I STILL HAD TO TAKE MY TIME & MARK OUT THE OTHER SIDE ! .. IT MATCHES MY HELMET & BIKE & I DON'T REGRET DOING IT , I JUST CANT WAIT TO GO FOR A RIDE ! ...
