From the moment I opened the box 3 weeks ago, I could tell these were high quality boots. They are well constructed, very comfortable, and look great. I have had compliments on them already._x000D_

The color turned out to be a little more reddish brown rather than the dull, dark brown in the picture. That's a plus to me. _x000D_

The sizing is right on my size (10.5). These are just regular slip on boots (no zippers or straps) so they do take a couple of days to wear them in to where they slip on and off more smoothly. _x000D_

The only thing I've noticed is one string has frayed a tiny bit around the metal ring. I don't know if it was like that already or if it has happened since I've started wearing them. No big deal assuming that it doesn't fray any more._x000D_

In the end and assuming that last point turns out to be no more issue then I would say these boots are well worth the price. I wear them all day, every day at work and when I'm riding.

Bolting these onto your bike are not for the mechanically inept. I assumed they would also come with directions and suggestions, however what was included was a mere diagram as to what direction the brackets should be pointed. . .no indication where, even though once you set them up near the fender, it's pretty evident where they do go, just not how. With these, you need to unbolt the top bolt to the shocks as well as the middle bolt to the rear turn signal bracket. I was hesitant in doing so until I at least had called a friend who assured me the bike wouldn't drop any more than about a 1/16". Once I unbolted the right side, it dropped more like 5/8" or more. I tried everything; tried lifting up on the fender to line the bolt hole back up, but it didn't happen. So one more phone call to my friend, and he suggested to undo the left shock, which pretty much was a mistake, because the left side dropped even further. What saved me was drinking a couple of beers and going for a walk to think. When I got back, I retrieved my auto floor jack, I set it under the tail pipe support, tried it, the holes lined up, I put the bolt in, and moved to the left side. That was a little trickier, but I set it directly under the fork of the swing arm and lifted the bike, being careful to steady it, as the bike was almost straight up and down. The holes didn't completely line up like the right side had, but I managed with little difficulty. I have no complaints on the brackets other than the idea they came with virtually no directions or degree of diffifulity, and they need to be unless you merely take the product to your motorcycle mechanic, hand them to him and reply, "There you go." The good thing is, they're not $100 brackets like you can buy from Harley-Davidson.

I am no longer the invisible man during the daytime on my Suzuki Boulevard C50 with the Cobra Lightbar. I live in a major metropolitan area where the average automobile interstate, inner city speed is 70mph - while talking on a cell phone. I purchased the Firstgear Mesh Tex Day Glo Jacket for several reasons. One, because I was cut off more than once even with my high-beam light on, so I wanted the visibility. Two, because I live in the Southeast where Summer heat can reach into the 90's, plus have extremely high humidity. Third, I just wanted to have a nice looking mesh jacket that would provide the CE armor protection and great styling. This jacket serves all my needs for the Summer riding even in a light rain shower I was caught in just last week. The zip out inner liner is water resistant and kept me dry during my 20 minutes in the rain. Lots of pockets, great airflow and a well made jacket for the money.

Saw this boot as a rugged yet classier boot for the cruiser gang. I ordered a half size larger as recommended and completely agree with this. Next I purchased Blue Smartfeet (approximately $45) inserts because the insole is not removable, extremely hard and has ZERO arch support. The change in comfort is remarkable! However, this boot will require a break in period because of the thicker, better quality leather. I will not be polishing these boots but by the looks of the top grain leather it should hold a shine extremely well. This my second boot purchase from LeatherUp and I am completely satisfied so far and anticipate many years of use from these fine boots. Online purchase went without a hitch and delivery was way ahead of expectations plus it was well packaged. Boltz from Atlanta.

They are a fine product and produce a great tone with a slight uptick in throttle response. However, These mufflers are not allowed for use on motorcycles in California equipped with catalytic converters that are part of the OEM mufflers. Therefore they CANNOT replace the OEM part. It would have been nice had you had this information on your item description. This is not slight on the product and they will satisfiy anyone who chooses to purchase them for their bike.

I just received them so they haven't been broken in just yet, but I do want to mention that with very thin socks (Coolmax ankle socks, if you are familiar) after about 20 minutes of wearing them around the house my feet went all tingly. I would expect a break-in period but I'm not sure that I would expect my feet to be strangled. They are leather so I'm not worried they won't stretch, I'm just not looking forward to the process. I Typically wear a 10.5 US because I have wide feet and a tall arch, usually don't have issues buying this size. So if you aren't wanting to deal with an uncomfortable break-in period, I would suggest going up a half size.
