I got some for my ZX9 but couldnt get on with them because of the foot position. So i made 2 plates from 10mm aluminium to sit between the frame and the original footpeg hanger which dropped it by 30mm and put it 30mm rearwards. Its very comfy now and my foot position is exactly the same 🖒🖒

Yeah I can see how the wider position might not be ideal for all bikes/riders. Time will tell for me. Home made is almost always best, as it's literally made for you! Sadly it's also the expensive way here, as everything you make yourself has to be tested. Very pricey route to take!!

Hey Andy. Old vid, but smashing, ta. I have mint old FZR 600 that I adore, but since a stroke (recovering brilliantly !) my right leg gets stiff after a few miles scrunched up on the somewhat sporty pegs. Ive put an LSL peg kit on, but am presented with the quandary you had: bend the control levers, or restore the standard pegs and buy , say, a TDM 900 with a much cosier seating position. Did you try anything else after removing the LSLs or just change bikes ? Cheers pal

Hi and thanks for video...i have similar items on my speed triple...while the pegs do rotate to a lower position..you end up with a stepped peg which is probably more dangerous than beneficial. Sorry but replacement links are a quick fix to ride height ( i lowered my speed triple with a shock spacer from Lust Racing, UK ) ..Some bike shops i asked said they dont sell modified links or recomend them as they are dangerous ( in terms of putting out the geometry and stability of your bike)....i dont have exact explanation but ask a good racer / mechanic. Ps i had an FZ1....excellent chassis, mediocre brakes, gutless under 5 thousand revs.

I always wondered how those would work with one's feet further out.The Versys has a kit from the US (Motowerks) that isn't adjustable but starts right from the joint. If you so jack up your Fazer (I considered doing the same thing with an FZ8) maybe you should look for a fork raiser too, since jacking up the back alone is going to pitch you slightly more forward onto the bars which might be uncomfortable on long journeys to various organs, sea ones and others.
@AndyManCam6 жыл бұрын
So far in use, they've not been too bad. Once you get used to 'looking' for a spot 3/4 of an inch further out with your feet, you find the right spot every time. I did end up bending the levers out slightly, but only by a degree or 2. Not so much that they look like they've been vandalised!! I'm OK with the idea of pitching the bike forward a tiny bit as it will quicken the steering and shorten the turning circle. I'm lead to believe by the forums that that is how the bike should have been from the start. We'll see. In any case, the long term plan is to put slightly higher and wider bars on anyway. I just have to wait til I sort out some Stainless brake lines and longer clutch/throttle cables to make that possible. So no Sea organs need be damaged in the long term!

@@AndyManCam the pegs don’t leave as much room for you foot in the width and your foot will point down in front of the peg, try it out but I’m sure your toe will touch down before the peg, either way I still want to try them for myself. Thank you for the good comparative camera shots and good luck with your results.

But that’s a good thing. The peg would originally touch down way before the toe would. I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one, but i found the ground clearance greatly improved.

Good video but these things on a gxsr suck. Its a poorly designed product..they push your foot too far outward... and as another youtuber said "they feel more dangerous than anything". I couldnt believe that, so i ordered the shinobis for 60$ and he was dead on! For a gsxr and probably a lot of other bikes, you wanna go straight down, if you must move them.....and even then you'll have to move your shifter and brake to correlate. Inch and a half is a LOT, in relation to your brake and shifter, but id still feel better with another inch of leg room (2 1/2 inches), but that aint gonna happen on a gxsr. Main reason is gears and shift wouldnt move enough to compensate.

Totally agree. The movement outwards is less than ideal.

All this cost around 20euro on ebay, chines stuff, LSL just buying cheep chines foot pegs and re branding them. My friend bought "original" and I bought chines one, and they are absolutely same. LSL re branding and ripping off people. By the way, nice video.

If you'Re right, that's great! I've sadly heard of many chinese 'versions' of more expensive equipment failing and causing very dodgy situations! Each to their own I suppose!

@@AndyManCam for now I don't have any issues with mine, I put around 3k with them. I am just not happy that you actually loos a lot of footpeg length becouse L shape lovering part. You will loos around inch and a half or 4cm something like thay. So they are really uncomfortable and I needed some time to adjust my self on wired profile of this footpegs. By the way you will need some nut treadlock.
