I took my second demo on a CTX today. First if you discount my semi-ride during slick conditions.
I am convinced. Great power, great handling. And I look good on it.
My only worry - arthritic left toe on my size 10.5 foot under that shifter. I use a heel-toe shifter now. But I cannot count on seeing such a gizmo on the CTX.
Do you think welding a half inch or so extension on the shifter will make a difference, making it easier to get more boot under the lever? Or finding some way to move the peg down a smidge? I read a discussion about missing shifts due to inadequate toe pressure.
Or will those Kury miniboards that flytrap installed make a diff here?
I still plan to take a chance on the bike, since everything else is so good. And I haven't found another machine under 800# with ABS and TC and an upright seating position.
Thanks for the advice.
