Hm, wait a second... there are not exactly few people who call me
insane for my riding habits, but i really have to try and force the
footpegs on the ground. (Africa Twin RD04, Model '90)

I rather suspect something else... did you buy your bike second hand
from a not-so-tall rider? Probably he lowered the bike by
(mis-)adjusting the rear suspention. It's a little work to reach these
two counter-screws on top of the rear spring, but then open the top
one, tighten the lower one one or two revs (not more!) and tighten the
upper one agein.
