Alpinestars Boots a no go

[papanorm]

I bought a really nice pair of Alpinestars vented summer boots for the Texas heat and won't be able to wear them on the Rocket. First, they wouldn't fit under the shifter. I adjusted the lever height to three different heights and couldn't shift into the higher gears. I returned the shifter back to the lowest height and put my old boots on and she shifted perfectly. Fortunately, the boots work just fine on my Indian bikes. Unless I'm missing something.

Own 2 pairs of Alpinestars boots, had the same trouble but fortunately for me adjustments worked great. I do have smaller feet which might’ve helped…

GT with mid-controls. The problem might be worse with forward controls, not sure

I don’t think this is going to be specific to Aplinestars only…

New 2.5L owner, things I hate about the motorcycle.

It is a great motorcycle, otherwise I would not have thrown ~28K USD on it. But not without its faults. Things I strongly dislike about it: - Inability to put on generic grips, there are so many better handlebar grips out there... - Inability to put on floorboards, none are made for this...

A word of caution. The villagers are getting their pitchforks out. The bike is perfect. Perfect.

My pegs are set all the way back and I do have large feet, size 46. Maybe the combo is a no no.

Love my Belstaff boots. Size 13 and GT pegs.

I have these, laces are tucked in at the top and they are super comfy without the toe bulk that others have.
