Pre-purchase questions

I have ankle issues as well, I got run over in'97 by a woman in a Beretta. Made such a mess of my leg the docs didn't see my ankle was also broken (they did manage to bolt me back together and I still have a left leg!). My range of motion is limited since then and upshifting is near impossible in the normal fashion. I use the back of my heel to pull the shifter back to upshift. It took some time to get used to but now it is second nature. I have a GT and a Harley Night Rod Special - both bikes have forward controls so the method works perfect - I don't think it would work so well on the R but where there is a will there is a way.
 
Thank you! I will give that a shot
