Redesign ideas

[rboe]

I'll go for 5 and 7. More range would be nice, a buffer for an oops.

7; my Sidi boots and my feet tend to ride the rear brake (I bent it in a bit and that has helped).

Shaft drive: get a Guzzi. There are good reasons for shaft and chain. For this bike chain makes more sense.

Pegs, I'm tempted to put GL1800 pegs. Found out some Norge owners have done that. Wider, more comfort.

The balls of your feet should be on the pegs. In that configuration, it's nearly impossible to be touching the brake pedal. Of course, everyone rides how they like, but that's how pegs are meant to be ridden/used. :-)

You would think! Due to long legs, my feet tend to move a bit forward and toe down. Same issue I have on the Griso - but the Griso's brake lever is tucked in to such a degree that I have to search it out to use.

So in theory I agree, in practice, when I drape my body over the bike - theory goes out the window.
