Thanks for all your replies guys!
DaveDuc has offered me some standard pegs so gonna meet up with him and see if they fit.
I'm not looking to get rid of the rearsets I'm afraid Rob as I know they're quite unusual ones and they do look really cool even if they are impractical!
I can put up with the cramps on short journeys, I need the standard footrests for when I'm touring this year, yes I am going to try and take my bike abroad this year...we'll see how far I get before I have to call the AA!
