i have a monster 800 sie, what would i need to do to adjust my shifter?  it really is a bit of a struggle to get my toe under the shifter at this point...

I'd pose the Question in the Tech Section.

You will get quick replys there.

update: after another ride, kick stand is still a PITA to get up off the ground, but easier to put down (but still not as easy as with doc martins),

fitting the boot under the shifter is better now that i've adjusted it for more clearance, but now i'm mis-shifting a lot more often as well... need to keep playing with it

waiting at lights is a lot more difficult as well, not quite sure why, but i have a much harder time getting both feet on the ground.  either the girth of the boot is bow legging me more around the engine/controls OR the stiffer foot bed, isn't letting me tippy toe as easy. 

boots still comfy on the 1.5 hour ride i was out for yesterday... guess the real test will be riding for a while then actually having to walk any distance in them.

Sweep the kickstand with your heel... especially as any race boot with great ankle protection/support will prevent your ankle from twisting- hence you cant roll your ankle in a bit to sweep the kickstand with your toe.

Maybe your foot placement on the pegs ( riding duckfooted and not on the balls of your feet) is causing you problems...just my .02$
