Default Ground clearance

Hi all
I have a curvy 650s, thinking of fitting buell footpegs have approx 8/10mm strips how do you think it will be for ground clearance?

cheers

Do you scrape anything on the floor at the moment?

Depends how different the buell pegs are. But 10mm should have plenty clearance left.

Why do you want them?

If there was good reason, I'd probably fit them and see if they scrape.

Not scraped anything but my toe and that was only once, Just looking for more legroom a bit more in the way of comfort 43 year old bones are getting stiff.

Update
Fitted the buel pegs today, really pleased with the results. Loads of legroom compared to before an inch really does make a difference
Clearance seems fine time will tell I guess. Reccomended mod for those with longer/older legs
