OK, so I am riding my new Daytona 955i (just got her...beautiful 03 straight from the showroom) and I have only one complaint....

the shifter is designed for Oompa-Loompa feet.

I have a size 13, and honestly, it is annoying, jamming my toe in and out of the given clearance...it's just not enough room!

Has anyone run into this problem before???

Is there a vendor that makes a shifter that is shorter in over-all length than the stock job?

Should I just put on some orange face paint and wear some striped overalls and call it a day?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Ski :razz: :razz: :razz:

Are you sure about that?

You could just have your feet re-sized to fit the bike......
(sorry couldn't resist)

I have found that the type of boot can make a big difference. Although I don't have size 13's I was having similar problems when I wore my timberland boots instead of my Oxtar riding boots.

A buddy of mine cut the shifter lever foot peg shorter so he could get his foot under it easier. (this was on a Buell)

they do make adjustable rearsets for the tona
they are kind of expensive but they might do the trick
cant remember the website but you can google it

Yeah, the boots make a difference. My Alpinestars fit great, but my daily riders are too big.

I looked at re mounting the shifter peg, itself, further toward the fulcrum, but it's one piece.

Hmmm....sounds like a job for E-Bay.

I'll post what I find when I find it!

Thanks,

Rizoma makes adjustable rear sets. http://www.rizoma.com
They only list for the speed triple on the site, but I have actually emailed the customer service there and he said they would fit. Double check with them if you want. Another member is actually selling a set in the parts classified section. I was going to buy them off him, but they would put my knee right into the fairing. I have a size 14 shoe and am 6'4''. i don't know how tall you are, but you should check it out. Shoes do make a difference. I wear driving shoes or indoor soccer shoes when I ride.
