    Looking to buy a new set of boots to make my legs 2" Inc longer does anyone know of a good pair of boots.
    As I hate being on tip toes as only 5ft 6inc tall and have short but not fat legs.

    Hello Tucker, when I had my Tiger 955i it was a bit too tall for me, but my wife bought me a pair of Doc Martens boots with a double sole. This made a big difference to my confidence when riding the Tiger.

    Maybe gave me an extra 1.5 inches ?



    Stop that tittering at the back !!

    Shame about the tag but then again they say when you have a Harley you walk most places.

    Ditto know how ya feel Tucker, Can you not look into lowering the bike at all seat re-cut etc, I feel two inches is a fair bit to look for in footwear only, fair do's if we were still in the 70's with plenty of choice but still not to good for riding with, :cool:

    Though depending on your style you could take a look here -

    8mm higher in the toes, not impressed tbh. Can't see them giving the improvement in confidence the OP is looking for ?

    Have a look at www.altberg.co.uk if you think a Doc Martins type of sole/heel design might be a step in the right direction (?! - sorry:rolleyes:) for you.
    Not cheap, although everything is relative, but the quality is excellent.:grinning: I have a pair of their now deleted Clubman boots which cost me just shy of £100 way back in/around 1998, and they are still going strong after much use and abuse. Hard to fault them really.:cool:
