Ok, don't laugh...I'm wondering whether anyone has ever put highway pegs or (something similar which provides a 'foot forward' seating position) on a sportbike?
I've googled it not seen much, but I figure there must be other folks with my particular issue:
I've been doing a little touring on the MT....nothing too hectic, around 500-700kms/day. Most of the setup I have is just fine for touring (screen, hand-guards, heated grips etc) but I'm really battling with the seating position. Not so much the saddle which gives me about 2 hours of comfort before I need to walk around, but the actual position.
Long before my butt goes numb, my hips and knees are cramping up. I've taken to resting my legs out straight on my frame sliders at times, but it doesn't feel too secure...
I've gotten some aftermarket rider's pegs, and lowered the peg position about 14mm, which has helped a little.
Any ideas other than 'buy a touring bike'?
I've considered getting a bellypan and using the mounts to rig something up, or possibly an engine 'cage' which could provide mounting space for something to put my feet on up front.
Cheers
