Gripping the bars and lever is not a strength component of the grip, it is more finger tips. I rode with the oem for 2 years with no issues....gloves are an XS for me.

Did you have any issue with your fingers reaching the levers? I took the cover off her for a sunshiny minute after getting home (it rained most of the day) and I noticed that while I can reach the levers and pull them in just fine, my pinky fingers don't reach lol. Will that end up being a problem or does it matter?
On another note, my being wobbly and her feeling so heavy last week was just a combination of me being exhausted and short
I ordered the Joe Rocket Heartbreaker boots with the 2.5 inch wedge so while I wait for them to get here, I threw on a pair of 2 inch flip flops to compare. That plus having energy made a big difference. With the 2 inches I'm still on tip toes with both feet but I can comfortable keep the bike straight up and rest my weight on the ball of my left foot to start off. I can get on and off easily, walk next to her forward and back. The only issue I noticed is that my legs want to be where the pegs are....
I'm so excited to go on this journey, I got my temps the other day and I'm signed up or the MSF in July
