Jardines High Rise Pipes
I have recently fiitted the Jardine RT1 high rise pipes.
Does anyone have a solution overcoming your boots melting on the pipes when placing your ball of you boot on the peg as their is no clearance to the heal? It is ok in normal riding position.
Thanks

FAQ, lot's of pipes do it. 2 bros and others offer clamp on shields. I forget which but dennis kirk or chapparral racing had them in the cruiser pipe section cheaper than 2 bros. Opps, sorry I just now see your down under.

When the ***** of my feet are on the pegs (>90% of the time), my heels are never relaxing on the pipes. But even trying to stand up and stretch for a second is annoying cuz my feet still hit the pipe with the back of the arch of my feet on the pegs.
Anyway, I say go for some inexpensive clamp on shields.

The inexpensive fix:
Go down to your local muffler shop and have them bend a slightly oversize diameter ss pipe to fit the section you want to cover (they should have some leftover cutoff that would be inexpensive), then go to the hardware store and pick up a couple of pipe clamps and a couple of 9/16" nuts.
Once you have the pipe you can cut it down the middle with a band saw which will give you the 2 matching sections for either side. Tack weld the nuts to the inside of the pipe (you will need 1 nut on each end of the section = total of 2 per), and then tack weld the clamp to the nut. Polish them up and place them over the pipes and tighten. The nut's will offset the new cover from your pipe.
Total project cost should be about $20.00 US
I had pictures somewhere of a buddy's bike we did which looked really clean (but he painted his covers with a high heat red color). I will see if I can find em to post.
Cheers.

I've had the same problem, almost ruined a set of AGV boots at Mid Ohio a couple of years ago. Then I realized that I had a bad body position problem. Once fixed the heel of my boot has never touched since. It's something to try at least.
Do you ride down the road that way or just in the corners? I've found that on the street I never have to move to the ***** of my feet, only on the track is that necessary.

Thanks everyone
It only becomes a concern when pushing hard through corners and I want more stability. Most of the time its not a problem. I just don't want to ruin a good set of boots.
Thanks for the advice its appreciated.
I'll check out the muffler shop and see what can be done.
