Was thinking of grabbing these cuz the black\silver goes with the rest of my gear:

Are they going to be too restrictive for sport bike riding? How about the size of the soles? If these suck, can anyone reccomend a better silver \ black boot? Cost isn't a big concern. Just looking for something that can take a decent beating and looks bad ***.

 

always wear my good ol iron workin die hards , size12's(dont hate) 8" laceups. i wear em ridin and can kick gears with the best of em. youll know in the first second you kick it in first if your fancy boots do it or dont.peace

 

Nope, not on a sports bike................
No feel on the brake and clutch and "really Harley" IMO.

 

If hypothermia is a concern, those with a matching Harley Tshirt will keep you from freezing to death in a ditch.

 

Hahaha, This is true. Wearing Harley gear would get you some credit with that crowd. I have to agree with Classic on this one. These look similar to Icon boots in that they look heavy. Whenever I pick up Icon boots at the store I'm always amazed how heavy they are. I find that wearing boots that have thinner soles and are less clunky make shifting smoother for me. I prefer full length boots but if you want the ankle height then the Alpinestars Ridge boots look pretty good IMO. The Thor 50/50 is also very protective but lighter than it looks. I haven't worn either of them while riding but just looking at them they both seemed pretty good quality with decent protection.

I have a pair of Vegas now, and that's what I'm trying to get away from. You get them wet a couple of times, and they literally start coming apart at the seams. Very, very poor construction that I would never trust to hold up in a slide.

 

I really don't have a preference for type of boot, these were just something I found.
