Foot pegs
 
Being 200+ cm tall I'm finding that riding while standing could be better, so I'm looking for some foot pegs that are lower.
I've only found a pair from swmotech and different sites claim different lowering, anywhere from -15 to -25mm

Has anyone tried these? Are there any alternatives out there?

30mm bar risers

Got them, and there is no more to go on with the cables :)

I use the SW Motech pegs in the lower position and I can vouch for the fact that if you are longer of leg than average they are worth their weight in gold. They also have a much bigger platform both in width and depth. I'd thoroughly recommend them.

Great, just the kind of recommendation I was looking for! How tall are you btw?

Nowhere near as tall as you! ;)

I'm 183cm, but I've got gangly legs! Lower pegs = more leg room = lower knees = more weight on feet = less arse ache. It works for me.

And no scraping when driving a bit spirited in the corners on tarmac? I have raised the rear about 4cm so hopefully won't be a problem

Yep, never grounded a peg out since the change.

tacomodo 06-06-12 22:35

Just to be sure, are these the ones?

I can't really see from the picture how they can be lowered

Edit: Nvm! Found a better picture

The picture on your link shows BMW pegs.

This is where I got mine (shows and image of XTZ fitment)

http://www.motohaus.com/acatalog/Footrest_Kit.html

They mount in two positions standard and low, which involves fitted the peg in one of two positions (diamond shape holes) on the mounting adapter supplied with the kit. It's obvious when you've got the kit in your hands.

To me -15mm doesn't sound like a lot, but hopefully they'll be bigger than the stock ones as well.

Anyway, I've ordered a set and am eagerly waiting to try them out!

They are way bigger than the stock pegs!
