If it's just the toggle of the zip, thread a cable-tie through it. If the zip itself has burst, just find a local leather tailor who can put a new zip in (but make sure they are used to doing motorbike leathers).

Same happened on my leather trousers; for ages I just used a paperclip.

These might be worth a shout, not sure if they do repairs but im sure they could put you onto someone that does.. My dad got his leathers from them and they were very helpful. Not much of a website but there is a phone number and address!!!

Theres nothing special about zips.....take it to any clothing repair store and they will double stick a new zip back on for you if they can not repair what has been damaged.

Friend had his leathers completely re-zipper at some little indian ladies clothing shop for £18
