Do the Engilish have larger feet than most? I have an 06 Bonnie and wear size 9 1/2 shoe and am having to use my toes to shift and break without taking my foot off the pegs. I think the levers could be an inch shorter myself.I prefer to use the front part of the balls of my feet to use the controls. Anyone else having this problem?

I take size nines and don't find it a problem. Are you sitting too far back in the saddle maybe?

I have size 17, and I feel they are too short. Like any other motorcycle I have ever owned.

I measured the length from peg to back of brake pedal and it's about the same as on my other bikes but the shifter is about 1" longer. Guess it's something I'll get used to.
