Default Question on FXRG jacket - side adjustors at waist

The photos of the FXRG jacket on the HD website are front view and rear view only, with no sides shots. Therefore, I cannot tell what arrangement the jacket has for adjusting its "waistline diameter".

So, for any of you that own or have owned an FXRG jacket:

- What arrangement does it have for adjusting the snugness or looseness of the jacket at the waistline?

- How much total difference in waistline diameter can be made via the adjustors? (TOTAL change by using BOTH adjustors to increase or decrease the belt line size)

- Has this feature been consistent in the FXRG jackets for the past few years, or does it change from year to year?

I'm asking because I find that some HD jackets fit me fine without adjustment at the waist, whereas others need to be either tightened or loosened, depending upon the overall "cut" of the jacket. I don't want to buy an expense jacket that won't fit me right, and the local dealer does NOT stock them.
