I owned an SV 1000 and I had a CBR 1000RR (until it was stolen) and recently sold the SV for a Busa. I bought some Field Armor boots from ICON about 6 months ago, never used them, yet.
If you have ever been snow skiing these boots feel about the same as ski boots when you wear them.
Here is the question/problem. I'm 6'6" and had to order a size 13. They fit, there tight like I said, if I got in a bad accident my ankles and feet would be fine.
Problem is I can't wear the boots and ride at the same time. Problem is I can't shift with my left foot, the boots are thick from the sole to the top of my foot and the shift lever and foot peg is too tight for me to get my toe in between, I can't even angle my toe in to get at the shifter.
I know it has to do with being tall and having a big foot and long legs, what do you other guys do, do I need to adjust the shifter on my left foot, is that normal, how is this done? Or what other option do I have, I been riding with tennis shoes forever, decided to ride a little more geared up and I can't shift? help!
Thanks,
Jeff
