Default Top of boots getting caught on radiator shrouds

the top of my boots and the bottom of my radiator shrouds are approximately the same heighth. What do you guys do to keep them from hanging upon each other? I have some over the boot pants, but they are too ventilated to wear right now.

For some strange reason Sidi boots hava a big problem hanging on the shrouds on the older bikes. I zip tied my shrouds to the frame on my 2004.

I had a problem with my boot tops getting hung up on something (seat base or side panel?) and my sole on my right boot hanging up on the plastic brake protector. (not good if you need to take your foot off the peg or to use the rear brake!)
Didn't do anything about it except ride around the problem.

A couple wraps of duct tape around the top of the boot and the pants.

Zip Tye The Backside Of Rad Shroud (the Little Tab That Hangs Down In The Back. Drill Hole In Shroud)zip Tye To The Frame And That Bends In Enough So The Boot Does Not Get Caught. You Can Also Heat It Up With A Heat Gun And Bend It In Also. Hope This Helps
