    Haven't really thought about one of those that much. Already have a motorcycle rail to mount on a trailer.

    I dont have a tailgate and it sticks out to the very end of the bumper, sketchy. So i put it in corner to corner and i can't fit a cooler and camping gear without stacking boxes at the end of the bumper. Much easier to load and unload by myself too

    Idk about him, but I'm guessing just the cooler isn't the issue. Even a huge cooler wouldn't take up enough space to make it impossible to carry a bike in the bed.

    I just give yourself a little while to get used to it. I hated my boots at first for the same reason. Any adventure or mx-esque boots are going to feel that way at first.

    I adjusted my shifter up one notch and it's fine. Now the only time I don't wear my boots is if I'm planning to stop somewhere.

    I can't adjust it up anymore because it already gouges the case saver. Need a longer one that swoops out farther.

    Is it bent? If so, then I wouldn't blame it on the shoes necessarily.

    I don't want the little three ribbed rubber thing on there.

    I was thinking this one because it has so much more clearance. I'm worried that a longer one will be uncomfortable if i ride with my work boots (which is sadly what i ride the most with) and the shift knuckle ends up being out over top of my steel toe where it will be uncomfortable.
