Hello big man. If you were to make some plates that would lower the footpegs and then fit a jack up kit that should take care of any ground clearance issues you have lowering the pegs.

Set of Buell pegs is a common fix on most type of bikes. Drops peg height about an inch or so.

Re: cramped riding position K1 - what can I do?
Crikey, how big are you!? I'm six foot one and I find it roomy, although I did come from a tiny tiny Derbi GPR 50...
Linky have a look at these, they are listed as rear set riser plates, but if you turn them upside down, they become lowerers. I believe you can get them with many holes in for multiple positioning. Friend of mine had the same problem on a GSXR 600, got some riser plates, turned them upside down and was happy as larry. You will need to modify gear linkage though, and possibly your rear brake linkage too. |
