Lowering pegs are great BUT......

[murphc13]

Gearing up but especially down is more trouble than it should be.The foot has much further to travel for gearing due to the lower peg position.The levers would have to be lowered to compensate.
I'm guessing some smart folk on here have come up with a solution for this.Can something be done to the stock levers or fo they need to be changed/altered?Any help is appreciated.

You would have to fabricate new lever tips, something similiar to the old CycleCats Rearsets.
Lowered fixed mount, or adjustable.

You can't just get a longer shift rod? That fixed the SATOs

I installed M-Factory 40 MM (1-1/2”) they are adjustable by rotating. I adjusted my gear shifter as far down as I can without hitting the exhaust, up shift is fine but I have to raise my foot some to down shift, I find myself leaning my knee out to make it easier to raise my foot. For the brake pedal I only lowered it enough to make it comfortable, no complaints about the brake pedal position.

I think the levers would need to be in a lower position

Have you got a link to those please?

I thought you meant levers.I have 50mm m factory pegs on mine.Theyre comfy which is great but have to do something about the lever poaition

The factory levers work good for me,I keep my clutch set on 4 and my front brake set on 1, that seems to work for me but I know everyone’s hands are different.

How lower are your pegs?Did you use a shift rod from another bike?

I found the shift rod on the internet. It was about 1 1/2 inches longer than the one that came with the Satos.. The Satos are back about 1 inch and down about 1/2". It wasn't this specific one but something like it: Flash Tune Universal Shift Rod Kit - RevZilla

Thanks for that.That might work.And prob cheaper than getting a lever altered

It seems like the end of the world because the foot controls are so F'd up. I was looking for a different set of rear sets. Then I saw the shift rod extensions and a light went off in my head. Worked perfectly and all was happy in Willie's Busa land. Easy fix and cheap.

Do you reckon my 2 inch lower pegs(not sure if further back than stock) would work with those rods you sent in the link?

Move the controls to where they feel good and then measure the rod length you need

Ok thanks.

My GF read that and had a big giggle…
She often moves the controls and comments on rod length………….

I find true wisdom often has many applications! Haha

Lowered pegs and size 15 wide boots don’t work that well either…. I hate being a big guy sometimes
