You might try some softer material around the footpegs.  Pipe insulation or role cage padding (often the same thing) would probably work well. It will not last long, but its very inexpensive and you can replace it yourself in a few minutes every few days.  Some plastic wire tires should be sufficient to secure it.

Something like this - should be available from most home-improvement, construction or plumbing type places


If you can't find softer boots and if your boots are not too tight you could try fitting a cushioned insole to your boots.

Not a bad idea, but be careful that whatever you put over the pegs does not rotate (spin) around the peg, else your foot might slip off if you apply (too much) pressure to the pegs - with possibly serious consequences.

I've ridden a gazillion motorcycles and let me tell you the Monster seat/tank arrangement is the least comfortable for my " man parts ".

Just a thought...
if it is so that my motorcycle now vibrates more than before... what could have caused that? Bad maintainance? Something that wasn't done properly at the garage for the 20 000km service!?

For what I know the vibrations comes from the engine, because they varies with rmp rather than speed and disapears when I pull the cluth.

If it isn't the bike that vibrates more it is me who had gotten more sensitive, but for me it is imposible to say.
