Space too cramped for downshifting?

[Old Ryder]

I have a pair of boot that don't work on the F6B in stock form, they have a kind of bulbous rounded toe and refuse to go under the shifter. Now my square toe boots work just fine on the F6B, I have not changed anything as far as foot pegs, all is in stock form

It has more to do with the shoe than it does with the bike.

My first post!

With my steel toes it's a little cumbersome. Normal boots and shoes are fine. 11.5's

Steel toes ?

I had to get a new pair of boots:

I have a 13 EEEE shoe and have had no problem. I did come off of a Valkyrie so I was used to a tight space.

I've had no problems at all with shifting the F6B, either up or down.
I remember when I had my VTX1300C that I had adjusted the shifter upward a little to make it easier to get my toe under it, but have had no need at all to make any adjustments/mods to the F6B in this regard.

I have trouble shifting with my big feet and boots. It certainly doesn't spoil the joy I get from cruising around on it.
I'm looking at a pair of those cockroach killers in the post above as my solution. Nice looking boots !

Definately boot design has a lot to do with it. I have the Kury mini boards with drop down and it works much better. Only thing I don't like is having them angled down. I think I will try Biglry's suggestion with the Kury knectic pegs .

The YouTube review is by "AK47's". Glad to hear from some of you that this is not likely going to be a problem for someone my size (5'8", 29 inch inseam). I think I am only a demo ride away from buying an F6b. I demo rode a Triumph Trophy recently and really tried to convince myself that I liked this bike. But the seating is just a bit too sporty for my old bones, and part of me wishes to return to the Honda fold. But I think a key part will be how my wife likes the passenger accomodations since most of my riding is two up. She's comfortable on my Triumph Thunderbird right now but I am hoping that with a decent windscreen she will like the F6b, with its nice large pillion, even more.

My brother has a 2010 Triumph Thunderbird that usually lives in my garage so I have rode it many times. I say that to say this the handling is great on his bike and is not top heavy like my Vtx 1800F, so you will be thrilled with this nimble beast!!! And please post your thoughts after your test ride, I will be waiting!!! I love the F6B just got to find the right windshield LOL
