Looks great, perfectly acceptable 

[CraigH[TK]]

Getting ready to make that final cut in the back of both shins.    Does it look like a good fit? Will wait till Monday or Tuesday to work the fit again to make sure we got it... What do you think?

So I am using the Velcro method on my shins... I built a flexible tab for the Velcro to rest on... Problem is the the cove strip sticks WAY out... More so at the bottom... I am thinking of doing 2 things... 1. Use super strong magnets to pull the cover strips in(would paint them white) or 2. Use heat gun to angle cover strips inword and close the gap... Who's got experience? Success and fails..

Heat gun is overkill, I would try a hot water bath first.

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say a "flexible tab for the Velcro to rest on"...can you show a close-up photo of the shin open? You didn't put the velcro directly on one side of the shin and then on the inside of the rear cover strip?

So this is what I did and it works great but the cover strip sticks out way to far(for me anyway) I have the Velcro on the cover strip and leg for my second shin like most do. I will see how that turns out. Here are some pics of the first shin for you..

So as I'm fitting my thighs getting ready to glue the back side cover strips..  however, on both legs, the area where the backcoverstrips are keep poking my azz pretty hard. Can I trim them right off? If I do there will be no return edge at all as I will be taking off about an inch. Is this ok or has it been done before and approved? It's just riding to high in the back and think I need to take that inch or so right off...

You don’t need a return edge. Are you trimming the thigh itself? That’s fine. I had to do it for mine due to size. Just take it slow and don’t go too far.

Doing sum busy work... Strapping is coming soon... Why not be prepared!

 

[CraigH[TK]]

Ok... I got through the SOLO Weekend. Back to work on my TK...

 

Thighs and shins are pretty much finished...

 

Going to have to figure out how to get this straight. Any suggestions?

[TheSwede[TK]]

Adding shoulder elastic should do the trick

Edit: And it looks like your right strap is backwards.

 

Edit: and it looks like the right (looking at the picture, don`t know if you`re in a mirror) is backwards.
