I have also put the seat on the fllor with its back against the read of the seating area. This gave me a lot more room.

Scott, I do not know how much modification it will take to install a cable system and will it offer you ratio modification to achieve the travel.

If you still have the Butler system, I do and I believe it to be a simple & well engineered piece. Easy alterations can be made to the crank ratios to increase or decrease pedal travel.

I've modified my ratios to reduce the amount of pedal travel. You can also install cranks that have sliding pivots to change the ratio indefinately.
