It feels more solid when you are out of shape.

This is likely far more important than where the pegs are under your feet. I have more issues when I'm not gripping and steering the bike with my knees than when I'm on the balls or arches of my feet.

Bad street habits (i see it all the time on new riders to trackdays)

Finally got around to doing this. Mounted it on my swingarm today at Pala. Pretty neat viewpoint actually. I'll get the video up in a separate thread soon. It's of the left peg.

did some quick screenshots.

Yea they are pretty new, but I have ridden in them a good 6-8 times. We don't have that nasty mud out here, pretty dry. They water the tracks a bunch but uh... rain? I have two other pair of boots that are my 'shit kickers'.

Actually I do have some gear I want to get rid of. Should fit you pretty well. Two sets of THOR gear, one all mesh vented and one not. Both in good shape. Email me and I'll send you pics and hook it up.

yup. updated original post. it's always 'felt' like the arch but after playing around in the garage last night it's back ball and forward arch where my foot tends to rest.
video will be neat to see. cool angle.

Supplied 3m sticky mount on the swingarm with some paranoid android duct tape 'just in case'. I'll take a pic tonight and upload along with video.
