Another option might be the seat. If you are running the stock seat look for something that moves you up and back a bit.

I have forwards on mine and when I changed the seat I gained alot of room.

I have a Lindby Custom Multibar on mine...it has a spot for your feet at the top of the bar with the option to put pegs off the side as well. The pegs at the top are kinda high so I'll prolly end up getting some pegs for the side.

The Lindby is pricey but is top notch quality.
My garage has a few other shots to get an idea of what it looks like.
