Boots.
I was watching a youtube video of a guy having trouble shifting a Hawk (he continously missed shifts) with boots on. The shift lever on Hawks (and others) are really too short for big American feet. Do yourself a favor and get a longer shift lever. The foot peg rubbers are too slippery when wet, and the length of the footpeg is too short for the afore mentioned feet. On the other side, if the brake lever is too easy to miss with your feet, Take it off and put it in a vice so you can bend it so as it works better for you. And p-u-l-e-e-z-e wear boots when you ride. They will help to protect your ankles and other parts of the foot when you snag your foot on something. I cringe whenever I see someone riding in flip-flops. If you do that, you are asking for excruiating pain...ARH
