Check out the WERA Forums for used stuff cheap! forums.13x.com I got a brand new set of Teknic Violator leathers for $225 shipped. Sometimes you can even find a set of cusotm leathers on there, plus if they have scuffs it adds cred!
WERA forums have TONS of suits for sale. TONS. Everyday there's like 2-3 pages added of people selling all kinds of stuff. You may be able to scoop up a decent suit.

There's a lot of people that work for vendors, too. I put the word out that I wanted a Shoei Kagayama replica and a few of them responded quickly with either links to cheap ones or ones from their store. I found a used one on Ebay, but the brand new prices weren't that bad.

Post a WTB there, yo.

You sound like a Spidi build, they tend to be long and thin, at least that's how my NRG suit is.

How much do you want to spend? RS Taichi is my favorite, because they use dye-printed leather instead of sewing different colored pieces together. Also you don't find many people wearing them.

With your build I would not recommend Teknic (too loose in the stomach and lower body) or Joe Rocket (too loose in the chest and arms)
