Does anyone else have the end of their boot rub on the clutch cover when they attempt to apply the rear brake? I felt the cover get in the way the first time I tried to use the brake, so I avoided it for right now. I can forsee a scuff getting worn into the cover by my boot. Anyone else?

I got size 12 boots, never had an issue with clearance.

I wear the same size. Maybe I just have fat feet. Its different from my zx9r set up, so maybe it will just take getting used to.

Try moving the lever end *back* a bit, and keep the ball of your foot on the peg instead of sliding it forward to the arch. May kill two birds with one stone.

Al sells long pegs at American Sport Bike.
I put a spacer behind my peg and used a longer bolt.

Keeps my boot off that screw boss it used to push on...

Zac, that is what I was thinking of doing, too! We should see if Al is willing to make a kit like that instead of using longer unmatched peg.
