Managed to do this today
![]() Bummer! Looks like there's some rearsets on the way - not something i intended on spending money on. And for those who like a bit more info ![]() I wasn't touching the brakes, the pegs did grind too. I'm completely stock suspension/ tyre-wise - those D220s have done over 8000 miles! Didn't even reach the end of the tyre ![]() |

Bummer mate, that happened to me but it didn't break off just bent it. Thats why i did my rearset mod. You should just get another break pedal, rearsets are alot of money, about £200 a pair.

£200! Bummer. The standard pegs are awful I always get my feet scraping on roundabouts as I can't keep my feet high enough! I don't want to spend £200 to find that I can't get comfortable being 6'2"! .....they would look nice in black though

man you were way over if you've touched the sv down, i thought they had good ground clearance.

For a standard street bike they've got very decent ground clearance, you can't go racing with it but then it's not a race bike. DOn't know how you can possibly describe it as appalling tbh...

It was a roundabout in all fairness. Just need to learn how to get my bloody knee down....I'd imagine I was over far enough!

I can hang off the bike, I can corner leant over...but putting the two together?! I find it's hard to keep the bike smooth- it can wobble alot if you're hanging too far off. It feels like I lose so much speed.
