    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Low Cost Waterproof Boots - Large Sizes

I wear a size 16 and have not been able to find a good pair of waterproof boots available in my size at any price. Even the $200+ Cruiserworks boots stop at size 15.

I was delighted to find these in the catalogue and ordered a pair immediately. They are just under $80. I have had them for a couple of weeks now and I am very satisfied. They are very heavy duty (made by Bates), and pretty comfortable even though I am just starting to break them in. The waterproofing comes from GoreTex which certifies the quality for any product that uses their material. They even come with a removeable thinsulate booty.

The only issue is that they are very big boots (especially in my size) and you may have to adapt your shifting technique, particularly when they are new and stiff. I tried mine riding for the first time yesterday and was able to work the Nighthawk with the size 16s without too much trouble.

Size 16??? I didn't know they had Sasquatch down in Florida...
:lol: :lol:

Good find -- it's hard enough finding size 12 sometimes. They kinda have that combination combat boot/MX boot look. Muy macho.

Wouldn't Cruiserworks make you a pair?
 
I've had a pair of those for about 7 years- issued free by uncle sam as an intermediate cold weather combat boot. They're a great boot and I wear them a lot during the winter but haven't tried riding with them. They do take some time to get broken in and the liners in mine are not removable so they're a little warm for summer wear. You got a good buy!
