Anyone make extended heel plates for 08 onward models?

I like to ride with the balls of my size 46 feet on the pegs and gripping with my heels. I miss the support on the left side (no heel plate) and find my heel presses against the swingarm on the right - that's not entirely pleasant as the swingarm moves :(.

Any ideas or should I try to get something fabricated?

Here's an idea....Grip the tank with your knees. Good habit to get into and allows your feet to stay free to shift or cover the brake, especially while in heavy city traffic.
Hey, and tell your passenger to squeeze with their legs too when your braking.
Keeps them from pushing you forward into the tank.
