Default Adjusting footrest position?

I want to move the gear and break selector round so they are in a lower position is this possible and how. Reason being i may get my dads SV if i can do this at little cost, being 6"2' has its advantages but comming to bikes it hurts.

some rear set riser plates can be flipped over which lowers the pegs. Normally about £30 delivered if you have a hunt on ebay.

The pegs, or just lower the controls to suit the angle of your feet better?

Both are possible

Try just the controls first, that's free

You just move rod on gearshift to change it (careful, one side is left hand thread) And change position of locknuts on rear brake operating rod to move that.

Yc is right...move them 1st to get more comfort for your feet.

If you find its a legs thing and you want more room/legs abit less bent then go for the risers/lowerers
