On several new bikes I've ridden, the footpeg-shifter distance has seemed extremely cramped. Even on the same model bikes as mine. That's because I moved my footpegs down and back. I did that by moving the spring from the bottom to the top, and cutting and welding what was necessary. It moved the pegs down and back 1/2-2/3". Doesn't sound like much, but the difference is very noticable. 2 benefits to doing this - it's free unlike a longer shifter, and it moves you down and back, making the whole bike seem roomier.
