I've got small feet. First off I'm 5'2 , my foot size is a 7 1/2 and the distance between the front and rear peg are about the perfect distance for comfortable up and down shifting. I rock with ease , I just move the foot to the left a bit and I'm off the pegs. I guess I'm just lucky, since I installed it I can't stay off the bike, it's like a different bike I love the **** out of it. Waiting on throwing in my Cat 3 cams, waiting in the right heads to compliment the cams then that will drop in
I'm 5'10 with 10 shoe. Other brands have similar rocker but I still wonder about the fitment and use. Just not sure I want to have my boot left of a normal position on the leg to rest on the leg while riding.
But I can see it can be fun and looks and feels great.
Thanks for the feedback!

I ride with my boot on the shifter most of the time...never an issue. I thought hitting a bump would inadvertently have me shifting gears. That has not been the case.
Shifting is smoother and quicker! You can see my left boot on the shifter in the photo below.
This video give a good look at how it works...they are also adjustable for different boot sizes and angle of the shift pegs.

found out through my PV my computer was reading (didnt take off the intake and check the butterfly) that my max throttle was only reading 80% open. Not sure if the butterfly was all the way open if that would change my HP / max fun zone... Adjusted the cables, and now it reads all the way open. Musta messed them up last time i moved them

Yes, I have the 2" forward extension kit on my Sporty pictured above.
Here's a better shot of it on my Sporty with the extensions. (had the factory pegs on there for a Customer that wanted to see what it would look like with them)

Also loosened the front motor mount, lifted the motor, and retightened. Tried to loosen the rear, but I couldnt get it to budge so i figure its tight.
Seems to have taken out a bit of the shaking at the stop lights, but engine movement at 1800-2200 seems excessive (more than when I got it) - its an 08 so nearly 10 years on the mounted, probably need to be replaced?

Dont be shocked, did a bit of work on the OL's Sportster. Got excuses
but no one wants to hear 'em... Got the front jug replaced. I had
previously bought a piston pin remover, but as it turns out, I could
push it out with my fingers (go figure). Here's a pic of the new
jug/piston....
