Title: Rear Lowering Pegs
Post by: BigAlan on March 22, 2013, 12:11:59 PM
I know you can get them from Larry somebody or other in the good old USA but being a cheeky git i was wondering if anybody has some on here i can either borrow to measure it or they can send me a drawing and dimensions of one so i can get the workshop lads to knock me up a pair?

I only need them once as i have a mate's wife coming on the back of me on the 5th April as she has a bad knee and cant fit on his *spit* Suzuki 1250 jobbie.

I would like my first ride with his wife to be comfortable  :mfr_lol:

Hi Alan

If you are successful can I have a copy of the diagrams, or a price for the workshop to make me a pair at the same time  :grin:

Thanks

Richard

Can you remember off hand how much they were?
I was also considering lowering the front pegs but havent looked into how complex that would be with the gear and brake levers. I think id prefer my legs lower down slightly

Well nothing is happening right now as nobody seems to have rear lowering pegs at all, "hopefully" someone might send me one so I can measure it and make a couple and then provide other GTR owners with a good idea of what to do

Come on lads.

Just got a set of the MFW Vario foot peg lowering thingies. Seem like very good quality, and they give adjustment forward and backwards as well is down.

More expensive than the kits from America, but seem to have more adjustments, lower postal costs, and no import(thieving) err, fee's

I also have lowered the front lety peg with a kit, its not that difficult to adjust the gear lever

Kind regards

Well I could be a cheeky git and ask to borrow one of yours to copy, I could always then create some drawings for other members.
