And before the lose 100lbs jokes, I'm only about 25lbs over. more exercize bigger calfs. (long ago, when 32 waist & 54chest calf was 20+in. ) (OK now start the jokes, But Include any REAL, helpfull comments like try these boots, too)

Mark, You are a candidate for some custom made boots. Many hunting magazines and many Cowboy magazines advertise for custom made boots. They measure your foot as well as your thigh. You can get them made to slip on or lace up. They make a 'last' that is the impression of all the measurements of your foot: drawing, instep, ankle, calf, etc. Most guarantee, absolute satisfaction. Many outfitters/guides wear only a custom made-to-fit shoe/boot. It seems to me LL Bean had a custom boot option some time ago.... start here: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=custom+made+boots++for+men&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=CN7deo9pVTOzpNYGwNO_s7YsEAAAAqgQFT9B4l54&fp=b45f35ef214b0397 Once you have had a custom made pair (Expect to pay at least $400), you will will be glad you did. If you are 'close' to Mexico, there are many handmade boot makers near the border towns as well (or so I am told). revmaaatin.

Hi Mark, Seems to should have grown about 18" taller to spread the 'wealth'! I would you, unlike me, have no trouble picking up a 'reclining' KLR! Ride safely, Don M

Aerostich Combat Touring boots use velcro closures. My first pair I had extended tabs made up by a leather worker at a cost of about $80. For my second pair, I found it easier and cheaper to get a couple of pieces of self-adhesive velcro at Fleet Farm. Just stick the hook piece to the back of the loop piece and you have a cheap and easy extender for your boot tabs. It also just so happens that the Combat Tourers and Combat Lites, made by Sidi, are excellent dual sport boots. And, you can walk in them, perhaps not as well as in some of the logging boot options, but a lot farther than I would care to gimp in my Tech-6s.

Try walking and give up leg pressing 2300 lbs. How the F do you get 19" calfs by excercising?

I'm a big fan of the OEM turnsignals installed on the Buell Ulysses.  They are bright,   DOT legal and come mounted to a super-flexible stalk.  Rumor has it that they will survive repeated drops unscathed Best of all they are highly likely to be in stock at your local Harley/Buell dealer for about $14 each.  The right front and left rear are one part number; the left front and right rear are another part number.  Ensure that you get the mounting nut as well.  These signals have a common mounting diameter bolt but an unusually fine thread pitch making the mounting nut hard to source. I have them on my XR, my DRZ and my WeeStrom.   Pix of them on the Wee here: http://johnbiccum.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Buell-turn-signals-on-WeeStrom/7509432_n2dRn#845902498_GftbU

They are available from other vendors. I thought they were expensive at $32 a pair, but I have seen them for as little as $16.95 a pair. Don't ask me where. BTW, Dennis Kirk's stuff is not always this outrageously expensive, but it is seldom the cheapest source for anything.
