Does anyone use anything on the shifter peg to keep their boot from getting scuffs?

a black foam "sock" that fits over the peg

Cruiserworks had them a while back...got it at Americade a couple years ago...worked fine ever since

I just swap boots back and forth so they both look the same!!opcorn: Wear it like a badge of honor!!

This has got to be one of the most lame things I have ever heard of. I have seen them but would be totaly embarassed to have something like that on my bike. It might be OK if you needed to ride with your tuxedo on. Maybe OK for James Bond or some other international playboy or double naught spy.

I don't care if my boots get scuffed. That is why I buy leather. Maybe spend $4 on a bottle of polish:shrug:

Cause you don't want them getting scuffed up running through the woods, just go barefoot. Now hunt you down a Little Bitty Bunny Rabbit, shoot it, take it's skin off and wrap some of that Little Bitty Bunny Rabbits Fluffy Fur around your Shifter Peg and Walla!:joke:

Hey smartA$$, from time to time I like to ride to work in my $300.00 boots that I'd rather not have the top of the left one scuffed up. Otherwise I'm in my 'riding boots' and don't mind it at all.

How about changing your boots when you get to work?

Changing back and forth is more trouble than its worth. I'm in multiple locations during the day so that could be 3 or 4 time a day.....

At least he did give you a good solution, along with some humor. You have to be carefull what you ask for, you may just get it.

Lighten up, get yourself a neoprene sock and ride. Or, don't wear $300 dress shoes on a bike. Either one.

Cheers

Never heard of such a thing , honest !!

I suppose get a heel/toe shifter, then you just use the sole of your boot.

Not much on bunny fur, I prefer possum hide.

This is my "Fix"...

Rattlerbar's "Kick Shifter", not the cheap knock off from Add ON...

Unfortunately, it is No Longer Available...

pshivers, that is nice. Looks like it would have been perfect.

 

[Red Darkside]

Sorry Rick, I owe you a beer.

 

[Larry Price]

Any quality riding boot already has built in protector pads to eliminate the possible wear from the shifter. You might also want to check the rubber sleeve on your shifter for wear and replace it if its worn through. I also have combat boots that I wear when I ride on base, not a mark on them...

 

[EarnhardtSPortsman]

I use the Kury Heel Toe shifter and it only wears my soles...You could also put a microphone sock over the shifter?

 

[DailyRider]

How about a brush on the shifter? That way it will shine your shoes while you ride!

:joke:

Well, it ain't rocket science, but---

Thanks been a big help. Actually I didn't realize you could use a heel/toe shifter without floorboards......(that ought to really bring out the S/A replies)....I've got Kuryakyn pegs and I went to their site and looked at their deal. Looks like it works. Daily rider, you get that bursh perfected let me know I might try it. Thanks

 

[Joe In Calif]

I use the shifter sock

But a heel/toe shifter will work also.

It's not shown in the picture above because I hadn't made and attached it yet, but you will probably want to add an extension to the sidestand if you install the heel-toe shifter. The sidestand gets "hidden" under the heel shifter and very difficult to lower without inadvertently kicking it into gear (usually puts it into 2nd as it's in neutral preparing to dismount). Pic below is my homemade extension. An extension can be purchased.
