My aching shins. Footpeg pain

No problem with 3 out of my 4 bikes. But while seated on the 600 Eliminator, and backing the bike up, a foot peg hits my shin. If it is on my mind, a wide stance keeps it from happening. But sooner or later I'm not thinking, and wham!
Has anyone here also had this problem?

I had a few bikes over the year where I had this happening. My tibias are all dented now.. I learned to live with it, but I found that switching to big rubber pegs makes it tolerable.
A friend of mine had to play tetris to park his bikes in his small garage, he was drilling a hole in tennis balls and sticking them on the peg and handles. 

I have not had this issue so take this with a grain of salt so to speak. If I am not incorrect the footrests on that year and model are able to fold up/back. Which I think would place them out of the way
