My girlfriend (endorsed since 74 riding everything from sports bikes and crotch rockets to gold wings and HD fatboys and past BRC instructor) dumped the new 950T I just bought her.
Primary contributer was the toe shifter is too far forward for her to upshift comfortably. She was beginning to get used to heel up shifting when she was confronted by a 4 wheeler crowding her. Uncomfortable setup, uncomfortable conditions, need for quick upshift, perfect setup for upset and some deep bruising even with great protection gear.
Does anybody know of any aftermarket parts that might help out her shifter fit situation? Cutting off the shifter mounting bracket and welding it back on two inches to the rear would put the heel shifter too far back into where her left leg needs to go down.
This was not something I was expecting given that my 650 is a reasonable fit for her (seat could be an inch lower to give her a bigger stance for dealing with uneven ground conditions) and most reviews saying that there wasn't enough leg room on the 950.
