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.

Cut your lower legs off.

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.

you dont always need to make the pegs lower, if you can get the pegs moved back then it will lower you knees a tad, just look around for foot peg risers as they somtimes have several holes so you can move the pegs around
