You know that is not the craziest idea i've heard.
Having ridden sports bike for years, I still have a hard time getting used to my feet being way out in front, I have often thought how nice it would be to move my feet further back from time to time. But I have always said to myself, as you quote "its a crusier, get used to it".
Given the opportunity to have to have an alternative place to put my feet would suit me well.
