As a side note, I understand that gel pads come in differing densities varying from a soft dense rubber feel to a jelly feel. The ones I had felt very soft and squishy. Hence, the crapped in pants comment.

Hey Easy .... How big of feet are we talking about? Are you inferring that you have a problem of too big of feet? What size shoe are we looking at here?
I like this engine guard, but if it is too much of a hassle then I might pass on buying it.
Anyone else experience this problem too?

Re: My MODS-Seat, windshield, engine guard, cruise control, etc.
 

I wear size 8. Not a problem for me at all.

My guess is something around size 11-12 might be a problem; toe might hit the bar when shifting/braking. (Would anybody with size 12 even FIT on a GZ to start with ?? :??: )

Anyhow, both shifter and brake pedal are adjustable (and even bendable if needed) so I can't see it being a big problem. I'm shopping for a new camera tomorrow. Maybe I can get some better pics in a couple of days.

Easy is correct about the MC Enterprises engine guard being a close fit for some of us. I purchased one from dennis kirk and test fit it onto the GZ. For me (size 10.5 wide and being 6'2") I was concerned about the shifter side. I sat on the bike and went through the motions of up and down shifting and on a few attempts felt the front of my boot hitting the bar. It was enough of a hit combine with the fact of being a new rider that I didnt want to take a chance so sent it back. I recall that the brake side didnt seem to be a problem it was more in the way I was moving my foot around from the top to bottom of the shifter pegs to up/down shift. It really is a nice engine guard for the money and wished it worked for me but, I purchased an OEM one which looks like it will not interfer (still havent installed it - santa was good to me this year).

With regard to the engine guard getting in the way of your feet :- This is a picture of my engine guard. There's no way your feet'll get caught in that. It saved the bike from serious damage when it ran forward off the stand, on a hill (don't trust 1st gear 100% as a parking brake!) Unfortunately I don't know the make, as I just went into the bike shop & asked the guy to get me one & fit it. There's no logo on it & I never bothered to ask him what make it was.

Interesting bars. How wide are they ? Can you post a pic with a head-on view please ?

Re: My MODS-Seat, windshield, engine guard, cruise control, etc.
 

Hi Water Warrior,
Here's a few pictures from the front. I've measured the bars, & they're 23½" wide.

Good pics. Thanks. Those bars are far better than Suzuki's ornamental stuff.
