I am only 5'8", so yes gandolf, I'm pretty short. As soon as I finish paying my parents back for covering the insurance for me, I will be getting gauntlets. College student = NO cash flow.

ehh 5'8" not that short... from the pics I'd say you were like < 5'5"

I was just gonna ask about you sitting on the R1... if it was tough to flat foot... but at 5'8" I'm sure your fine

... my bike does have a lower seat than the newer SS bikes do... I was able to flat foot real easy on every bike I've sat on... save the BMW Adventure tourers... figure you'd be able to flat foot on the liter bikes but maybe just barely

Yeah, after i looked back at the pictures, I thought the same thing.

I am the same at NtS, Flat footing requires pain in my crotch. I could go IHS style and drop it to the ground though. That'd be cool as ballsweat.

Nice gear.

My first pair of gauntlets is in a box somewhere between Kneedraggers and Davenport, with my boots... and I'm in IA...
