Default Footrest pain

Anyone replaced there riders foot pegs with less painfull one's - like longer so you can get your foot on with out the rubber bump at the end sticking in the bottom of your foot?

God no. This bike has crap ground clearance as it is. I wear a size 12 shoes and I dont have a problem with it. But the bike boots I use are stiff soled.

seems to me there must be a difference in uk and aust models as mine has very high pegs and i cant grind until the very limits of the tyre and at that point im gripping the seat with my ***.lol.
or is it the 91 onwards models are higher,my front doesnt sit down like the one in ur avatar thats for sure.

I have my front lowered 12mm through the yokes. Also I'm a bargeass so the whole bike sits low especially when punting hard

Yeah I have worn the soles of a few shoes because of dragging.

Hondas tend to keep the same fittings over its models. So you may be able to use the footpegs of a cruiser or a tourer.

Devilsyam: Do you mean that the pegs are placed to high so you get a knee angle that is to "sharp" and that way your legs are hurting ?

No it's not that there to high more not wide enough example there a full 25mm shorter than a fazer thou (FZ1) foot peg

also towards the end of the pug the rubber turns up so if your foot rests towards the outside as the peg is not wide enough the point stickes into the bottom of your foot and aches like made and make you move your foot constantly this affects both sides

never had this issue with any of the bikes i have owned

going to see if i can fit the fazer ones this evening worst case i'll grind off the rubber hump
