I've also been thinking about moving my pegs back to a standard bike position. I purchased left and right pegs, plates, splined lever, brake pedal etc. from a guy parting out a LS40. I plan to rework them so that they will fit roughly where Skeebo has his. I haven't even started to think out the details yet. I would like to see pictures showing the details of how Skeebo mounted his.

If it doesn't work out the original ones will go back on. To be comfortable the seat height will probably need to be higher.

If it doesn't work I can put everything back, But I'm diggin it to much now.

Posts: 328 Fresno, Cali Gender:	Re: Mid Controls Reply #18 - 05/05/12 at 09:45:15 I'm using the rear/lower motor mount bolt to locate the control yoke instead of the front /lower motor mount. This moves everything mid and at the same ride height. The advantage is it's quick and easy but your foot peg location is locked in, not much you can do for adjustment.

The stock brake lever pivot will be perfect I'll rework the arm to undersling the exhaust,straight rod to the rear drum from here.
