Title: relocating foot pegs
Post by: 95SKarsten on November 20, 2016, 09:08:34 PM

have gone through my '95 "S" and am ready to enjoy it. Fall and winter in the southern US is perfect for riding.
My only complaint is cramped seating, I am six four, are there any peg lowering kits for these bikes? Riding more than an hour or so turns into discomfort. Time for a GS?

What seat do you have on it. Also when I first got my 75S it used to trap my thumbs against the tank on full lock. As the years progressed I have slowly moved my bars up and back to make it more comfortable. I have a mate who is 6'2' and he has moved his bars back and finds this better.
Regards Martin.

Karsten I've had a look at my foot pegs and have come to the conclusion that new lower ones could be made. You would have to have access to a welder, angle grinder and basic metal working tools. It would be possible to make new ones from scratch using the existing pivot point. A lot of work but doable.
