  • lower foot pegs

    Does anyone know of a kit that can lower the passenger footpegs a little bit?
    My better half would like them a bit lower as the height is slightly uncomfortable for her on long rides.

    Thanks!
    I love my Kat!!

        If they could sit properly we wouldn't be able to see their thong and lower back tattoo.

            Have her wrap those long legs around your neck.

              all great answers (she is always worried about her thong showing!!

              But in all seriousness, is there something out there that will lower the pegs about 1 or 2 inches??

                  Put her in a bikini. She will be too self-conscious to worry about her legs hurting.

                    Have to agree with slayergsxf1 and thecynic.

                      There is no standard mod to lower the footpegs. You could conceivably have NeOublie CNC up some replacement brackets for the footpeg hangers to lower them...
                      But if we're talking about the front pegs (if she rides herself), it would be a poorly conceived mod, as ground clearance would be greatly limited. More wise would be to go to a taller seat, such as the Gel-padded Suzuki seat for the Kat, or having extra padding placed in the stock seat. Or ordering a Corbin and having her simply change her seating position altogether (they'll tailor it to her inseam).
                      If we're talking about the rear pegs (she rides passenger), you could install longer hangers, but then it becomes an issue with supporting the exhaust pipe, which normally is supported by the footpeg hanger. Again, changes to the seat would be wiser.

                      Finally: in either case, make her stretch before getting on the bike (everyone should if they are riding for hours on end), and every hour or so, as well as drinking extra fluids. Muscles cramp because they are tense, unable to carry away by-products (insufficient fluids or salt is often the case, esp in hot weather) or the clothing is too constrictive across the rear of the knee or at the bend between the hips & upper thigh (cutting blood flow)

                      Cheers,

                        thanks CP she rides passenger so we were lookin to lower the passenger pegs about 1 inch.
                        I now have a Gel seat on there. we will see how it works out.
                        I may just need to get a corbin for her.
