Shifter Skins

[bikerider]

Has anybody used this. I found it on e-bay. eBay Motors: r6 icon aria hjc shift msr leather jackets helmets gear (item 180157323595 end time Sep-17-07 09:14:38 PDT)
Is it worth it. I were my running shoes when I go around the courner on the bike. And i now have a black scuff mark from my shifter. I do were my icon boots on normal rides.
Thanks :Sport:

I don't know, the time it would take to put those on you could just put on your boots.

 

[bikerider]

Good point.

Unless you are one of those Rappers that says the shoes are Trash if they get a little scuff .... I would not be too worried...

another option get some black Nike's :rockon:

You wouldn't ride with sneakers on, would you.?

ATGATT, do it for your skin.

:thumbup:I use one of these. Simple, inexpensive, durable and removable for washing. Top side has a piece of leather sewn on for added strength when down-shifting. Made out of stretchable neoprine for a really snug fit. :thumbup:



Apologies for the bad pic it was taken with my cell phone.

Since buying my fz6 (4 months now) I have only driven my car twice. I use it on a daily basis driving 30miles to work and back. This has saved my work shoes from looking like crap and unlike the shoe thing in the original post I dont have to worry about putting it on and taking it off everytime I get on my bike.

It also goes well with flip-flops.

having just seen the country you are in and having been there 90% of the scooters i saw had people on them on flipflops and tshirts - now i remember it was all the tourists:thumbup:

It p****s me off when I see kids tearing around the streets in the UK on scooters, wearing a hoodie & trackie bottoms, no gloves & a lid.

I saw one kid recently on a scooter, riding along sending a text! :banghead:

How did that happen. From the shifter?

 

[trailblazer87]

Laying the bike down a few weeks ago.

The side of my shoe got shredded open py the pavement and I ended up having to pick a bit of gravel out:banghead:

If would have had my boots on at the time I wouldn't have the wound or the twisted ankle.

 

[gr8eyes]

I've been down at 55 and 70 mph and didn't get a scratch either time.

I'll say it again ATGATT.

People who ride in flip flops and a wife beater get exactly what they deserve.
