I had a hard time with the small size of the stock toe pegs on the 1125. The worst was the brake peg which I had to move all the way back in the slot to get a good feel for with the clutch case in the way.

So I picked these up from Al at American Sport Bike.

Right toe peg


Left Toe Peg

Now I have been able to move the new brake peg forward about two thirds of the way and still have a good feel for the pedal so close to the clutch case.
The surprise was how much better the shifting feels.

For 20 bucks, it might be a worthwhile thing to try out. Maybe I would use the rear brake more if it wasn't so close to the clutch case?

It was worth it to me. Moving up the brake peg reduced pedal effort and I feel a lot more sure footed with it. I didn't have nearly the problem with the shifter but found that it feels better with the new peg too.
