Do you need a little more HEIGHT for your shoes?

[QUOTE="Silver Ghost, post: 1452237, member: 92353"] I took the Upriders for a spin today and I like them (I might add a little softer rubber to the bottom for a little more grip). I even added a heel insole with a cushion which helps out with the height differential and comfort. I didn't have any trouble with them, they felt fine, and your could simply take a pair of slip-on shoes if you don't want to walk around in them. Concerns: #1- get a lowering kit. I have heard bad things about these, I like to keep it stock, and I want the original height. #2- buy a lowering seat. Wasn't sure it would work for the money. #3- my bike rides lower with my wife. Yes, it does, but still not enough. #4- slide your butt off. One option of also falling over with my wife on. #5- does not fit a US size shoe. It fit on my size 10. #6- it might come lose. I tied the front strap to my shoe laces and I check the rear (you could run a piece of cloth into your shoe if you have a concern of the back strap coming off) before each ride similar to check tire pressure. #7- buy new boots. Those Daytona M-Star boots are $500. OUCH! Thanks for the feedback! Michael. Brodie- I did the car tire on the back of my Honda 1300 VTX and it was FANTASTIC!!! The Honda Service Manager told me he was going to put on a car tire when he was ready to go across country. Guys- maybe don't knock it before you've tried it. LOL :) [/QUOTE]
