Ok...I've put good few miles on the bike and I keep getting cramps in my upper thighs and left calf.  Hubby says its because I am streched out to reach the peg and when I go to shift up I completely flex my foot to a pointed angle (straight out).  I believe I would be more comfy with the pegs a few inchs back to give my leg a little more angle...say about 90-120 degrees.  Right now I only have a slight bend in my legs so I would say that they are at about 160-170 degrees.  Any help on finding theses controls would be appriciated... Thanks in advance!!!  

Looked at my Savage....   Moving controls forward is a mere matter of a flat plate and a couple of longer rods.  Moving back would require a three dimensional adapter to clear the engine case.  On the left side you could attach a shifter lever directly to the splined whatever you call it coming out of the transmission, maybe weld a peg mount to the frame?

You might try thinner padding on the seat to bring you down and forward.  Maybe a new thin seat.  I was looking at pictures of metal tractor seats -- the shape is such that padding is not needed.

or u could just simply adjust the shift lever back a little

ok....maybe this will show you a little more of my problem...


See how straight my let is going out to the peg?  and I am sitting up on the tank...  I was just looking for a way to bring them (pegs) back a few inchs.  The hubby is going to adjust my shifter and has talked about getting a slip-on to make it larger and longer... I was just hoping that there may be an easy solution to this... good thing he's creative I guess...  
Thanks for all the help with this....

Assumption:  you are a safe driver/rider who is looking ahead and in situations where you might need to stop you practice OGOB - off gas over brake.  In other words, you do not need to be constantly on the foot controls.

Highway pegs.

For most people, this means a set of pegs mounted foreward, usually on the 'crash' bars.  For you, a set of footpegs mounted maybe on the swingarm pivot.  Just as a place to rest the legs when you do not need to be over the controls -- which is like 95%+ of the time.  Maybe floorboards?

I have a 2003 Savage and it has a different type handlebar. Daughter's bike is like yours and I have the same problem trying to ride it. My Hubby adjusted the angle of the bars on mine so it worked better for me and I got a new gel seat that was a bit lower. I always wear high sole boots but be careful when you get boots that they don't get hung up between the pegs. We joked that he stomped the toes of my boots to soften them up but that is what he did, before that they were so stiff they hung up when I'd shift. I'm 4'11" and shrinking. Check into different bars, I think that would be the biggest help.

Now, Rob, nobody likes a smarta$$  

Hmmm.  Well sitting here thinking about this and now seeing the picture.. You're a smallin' ain't ya?!     Hmmmm..  Erognomically I bet it's a pain to shift and keep your legs out all the time.  I'm thinking along the lines of moving the behind down and forward a touch may help some.  I'd get a seat off of e-bay or someone here and gut it.  Shave down the form, maybe add some gel padding that way it's not so bad for longer rides.  You might gain a half inch or inch if you do that....

I can't think of a way to move your pegs back really...  I wonder it Kurigan (Sp!!) has a product you could use, like they have this "dog-leg" type adapter that off sets foot pegs.  Maybe you could reverse the direction its intended to be used and move the pegs back?  But then your problem is the controls...

Or like someone else said, floorboards...  You only need to move your feet for starting and stoping anyways for the most part.
