Title: Moving Pegs and Controls Forward? Post by Suffrajet on 03/07/07 at 02:03:25 Hi I'm just wondering if anyone has found a site where I can buy the bits needed to move my footpegs and brake/gear controls forward by about 3 inches. Down an inch too would be perfect, but not sure if that would be possible? I've read the post on the Techie Forum, but the pictures are just blank with that little red cross in the top left corner, so didn't make much sense to me. Being a girl, I have no idea how to make my own and my metal work is restricted to making a padlock and hasp type thingy in design tech class at school 20 years ago ... So - does anyone know of a site where I can buy the bits? I'm in the UK. Thanks ;D |

Title: Re: Moving Pegs and Controls Forward? Post by justin_o_guy on 03/08/07 at 13:56:14 Must be a pretty tall one. If I could get my pegs more under me I would prefer that. The farther forward they are the harder it is to stand up when a big bump looms. Seems like there are some control issues with that posture. It doesn't make me happy. If my legs were another 4 inches longer, I just might see it differrently. |

Title: Re: Moving Pegs and Controls Forward? Post by Suffrajet on 03/10/07 at 04:19:04 I'm 5ft 9 and have an inside leg measurement of 33 inches ... Which is why I need to move them forward a bit - otherwise I've kinda got my knees under my chin and its not very comfy. :D That german ebay link didn't work ... So I'm still open to ideas. Fankoo ;D |

Also - I'm a girl, have no metal work experience, no tools, and not the faintest idea where to start with making my own. Which is why I want to buy a kit, or something like that ... |

Title: Re: Moving Pegs and Controls Forward? Post by billy on 03/12/07 at 14:38:38 Highway Hawk has some, not sure how much they move your feet forward. FORWARDCONTROLS Art.no.: 493-5015 FORWARD CONTROL 'HIGWAY HAWK' FOLD-UP LS650 If I remember right they are quite pricey. But can not remember where I found them for sale. Seems to me they were arround $500 shipping and all. |

Title: Re: Moving Pegs and Controls Forward? Post by strangeling67 on 03/12/07 at 20:33:34 Sweet ride JRM8486. Were those forward controls difficult to put on the bike ? And do you find them a lot more comfortable than stock ? |
