Default noobie Sport Glide question, thoughts

Perhaps a dumb question -- But, can a toe/heel shifter be put on a 2018+ sport glide ? Also, I'm 6 foot 33" inseam -- does anyone think this bike will be too low for me ? Yeah I know go ride it -- but I don't want to waste my time if these are dumb ideas

I am 5"11 on my good days with 34 inseam and I had a Sport Glide that suited me very well...
you can also put a heel/toe shifter if you want, but with the pegs you will have to be careful not to unintentionally press on the rear branch, it would be better with floorboards...

I went with a heal/toe shifter on my 21 Sport Glide. But did add mini floor boards. So far no issues or problems with shifting.
