They might be $19.95 because they only have select sizes. Mike Render A14

I wear the Hi-Tecs with two pair of socks and try not to drop it on my ankles Brian lbauer2 wrote:

Authority) have little protection at all. Slammed the ankle pretty well. Nice comfort and warmth, just very little crash protection. Don't say "that doesn't matter I ride street", Dress for the crash, not the ride.

You drop a 400lb. bike on your leg, it doesn't matter what boots you're wearing. Stronger boot just transfers the impact up higher and then you hurt your knee instead. Did you break it? If not, the boots did their job. dat brooklyn bum

Just got finished making a 600+ mile trip from Griffin, GA to Greenville, MO. I got nice and cold of course. I made it in two parts, with a stop in Bolviar, TN. I Didn't have any electrics, so I had to break out the chemical packs when the temperature dropped below 32 F last night and starting out this morning. The low sport bike style front fender (thanks Zac) was a major improvement at interstate speeds. I didn't get wobbly when doing a speedometer indicated 80+ mph around the big rigs. This is well worth the investment if you do a lot of high speed (for a KLR anyway) interstate riding. I also made this trip using a 16 tooth front sprocket. It was also a nice improvement for interstate cruising. You end up losing some torque at the top, but it is much more comfortable. 80 mph at about 5000 rpm. Later
