Default 50/50 Yellow Riding Boots

I've been looking all over the place for some nice riding boots and really havent been able to find a good pair of boots with yellow accents on them that werent the quadrant style that they use for motorcross. I've mainly been looking online at the motorcycle superstore and a couple other places.

I ride the yellow fz6r and I'm curious if anybody has found any boots that really look good with the bike? Or have any suggestions on where else I could look?

I was looking for yellow as well, but came to the conclusion that either all black or white boots would look nice as well.

I wish.... This is next on my list to get (not the yellow one's), but it looks like yet another big expense.... anywhere from $150 all the way up to $500.... hopefully I can catch a good sale, 'cause that's a lot for a riding shoe.

That's a lot for boots that don't even protect your shins. I find that standard over the ankle riding boots would range $100 and the full riding boots would go $200+

Going to cost a lot more for medical bills and the time off for recovery.
