The pegs feel the same, maybe the seat has done its' full compression and as far as the left shifter - no I didn't find anything although they have the heel-toe shifter I heard about some trouble with the force generated on the shifter/warranty so I didn't even bother. Actually, I alternate anyway between the hiway pegs and the boards and its fine. Even when I had the heel-toe shifter on my Harleys I would have to take the heel off because my boot would get stuck inside the space and it wasn't comfortable.
