Best riding boots and misc.

Combat Touring Lite

I chime in with another endorsement for the sold by Aerostich/made by Sidi Combat Touring Lite boots.

http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-combat-lite-boots-20.html

I'm on my 2nd pair, after having got 5 years and 60,000 miles out of the first pair. I had the first pair re-soled once, and I also had to replace the plastic part that affixes the buckle to the leather. Aerostich sells all the replacement parts for the boot, so once you've find a good cobbler, the boots can be repaired as necessary.

They also look like "normal" boots. I can wear them at work (yes, they really are that comfortable) without looking like a Storm Trooper.

If I spent my life riding off-road, I'd consider the Combat Touring boots, but the Combat Lites have suited my needs every time.
 
I use "303 Aerospace Protectant" for all the black trim on K1200GT. It's not the cheapest, but lasts long and protects against UV without leaving ANY greasy residue. You end up with a natural looking sheen. Available at local marine stores.

Best stuff in the world for black trim.



I also heartily recommend the 'Stitch CBT Lites. They look somewhat normal, are easy to get on and off, and are all-day comfortable.
 
May I make a suggestion to the OP and the rest of you who read this thread?

Ask ONE question in your original post. If you have second question, make it in ANOTHER POST.

There are lots of people who care about boots but not stuff to restore their black vinyl and vice versa. In the future, people who care to use the "search" feature will find some very interesting opinions on both topics harder to find.

Just a suggestion. Both are good questions and have elicited a number of good answers. Try to separate those questions in the future.
