So I noticed you can't adjust the clutch shifter with the stock set on.
The area where you foot goes is rather narrow. I would like to get some new boots.

Anyone have or has ICON Elisnore's or something similar? Any issues getting your foot to fit inside your shifter?

So let's see it- What boots are you all wearing? I'm wearing a pair of older Spidi "traffic" boots.

I wanted to get the bigger, meatier foot pegs for offroad traction, but I noticed it's a bit tight of a fit while shifting even with my Dainese Torque RS boots which are very slim fitting. I don't think I'd have enough room to comfortably shift without adjusting the lever if I went with bigger pegs, so I'll leave it as is for now.

Eventually someone will probably create a single piece shift lever or figure out which existing one from a company like Sunline fits on there well. I like deleting the rose joint linkages any time possible because it has always made it easier to find neutral and avoid false neutrals on other bikes I've had.

It's good to know that the bolt on the spline shaft is able to rotate and move into a different position though.

I wear these baby's, they're big as but I don't have any problems.

LOVE those boots for serious duty. Did Toronto to Boothbay Harbor, Maine in those as well as a week in the rockies over crazy mountain passes in all kinds of weather. Bulletproof (maybe literally).

For more sporty riding, I favor the Dainese Dyno C2B boots

I've been riding in the Blundstone Scrambler boots and they are sweet. Good comfort on and off the bike.
Seen a few bike accidents in recent months and suggest that if they are not tied or clamped on they slip off easy while bouncing on the road. Nothing worse seeing a heaving rider with their shoe half way down the road and torn bloody feet, amongst other things.

I was looking at the EL BAJO boots. Do you mind testing it out. Would love to hear your thoughts on it and get your riding impression with those boots and the Scrambler
Look at the "Gasolina" line of boots. 2 buddies have them and they looking f-ing amazing! $250 bux. So I'll stick with my Vans

I just sold my Chippewa Rally boots because they looked like Napoleon Dynamite moon boots. Gasolina were my next choice, but I can't bring myself to risk 250 bucks.

Today I looked at some old stock Fieldsheer boots at the small Ducati dealer closest to my house and I liked them. They had to be from the late 80s - 90s. They just leave old stock on the floor in case anyone ever finally buys it.



They were these same exact boots with the zipper up the back except flip flop the red and black panels so that they're mostly red. Honestly, I was thinking about bugging them to make a deal on them because they're really narrow (able to drive a vintage Italian car with them on.)

They were made in Korea, so I have no idea what the vintage is.

But they were just plain old leather, no solid armor in them anywhere and that doesn't really get me past the boots I'm already wearing.

I have the ICON Elisnore's. I purchased them without considering the shifter. I was expecting a very stiff boot but I am pleasantly surprised they are very comfortable. They are a bit tight with the shifter but after a few minutes I had no issues. You can see the wear in the attached picture.
