wear them, and then wear them some more. if you are not doing anything around the house, put them on. thats what I did.

I've only put about 2 hours riding time in mine and I love them! For me it just took more getting used to riding in boots than breaking them in...

+1 on getting used to em. now it feels like they belong on the bike.

I got the same boots last week, it's takes a little time to get used to fitting my big foot under the clutch.

I wore mine at home once in a while and they're great. Still alittle tight around the calf though.

Leathers....Astars GPU 2 piece / JR Highside 2pc / Spyke Eagle (I think) 2pc....

You may want to check out Barnacle Bill or Z Customs and get some leather pants made, it'll be easier than trying to find off the rack pants that fit.

Send 'em to me for the weekend. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'll pass them around amongst the other racers and myself. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif If they're still in one piece and the toes aren't too ground down after the weekend of racing then they should be broken in just fine. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/icon_rant.gif
