I have a Tourmaster Centurion Suit. I like the suit. Like my past Komine stuff, it fits good, but the knee pads don't hold their position well.

I'm thinking someone who does alterations might be able to fix this. The knees pads are always rotated inside slightly and also have a tendency to slip down or up off my knees. I'm guessing that taking .5 - 1 in out of the front side of the pants might bias the pads to a forward or slightly outward position and hold them tighter to my knees. Any body do this? I'm surprised that the pant makers aren't doing this since, IMO, it is due to the knees bent and crotch spread riding position of ALL bikes!

Anyways, just wondering if you have tried this. . .
