Rivco foot boards (and foot boards in general)
So, I installed a set of Rivco footboards yesterday, hoping to get a bit more wiggle room for my size 14s. Mixed results. On the bright side, I got just what I wanted — more positions for my giant feet and a little more leg stretch. But I simply can't find a good place for the shift peg. At its stock position, there's just not enough room underneath for my foot. Moved one notch clockwise, it seems like instead of shifting up (from 10 o clock to 12 o clock) I'm shifting back (from 12 o clock to 1 o clock). Very awkward. Also, it seems that Rivco's boards are a bit short for a size 14 boot — perhaps Triumph's longer ones would be better? I realize that a heel-toe shifter could help, but the back end would confine those 14s a bit. Anybody in the same boat? Does the Rivco heel-toe give you more clearance for the foot without compromising the shift throw?
I'm thinking that the pegs may come back, and the boards may end up in the classifieds! (They are in the classifieds now!)
Thanks
