M8, here is the scoop.
The R3R pegs are about 5 inches rear of the Standard & Classic boards.
If you like to fang the twisties, I reckon the Standard boards the best as they are at least an inch higher than the pegs and yield more ground clearance for a better lean angle. You will need to fab a simple bracket for the rear master cylinder mount. The rails and brake lever will fit fine. I ditched the shift lever & linkage & used a splined shifter from a Bonneville.
This is a terrific mod that seriously increased my comfort & improved my lean angle for faster cornering.
I further recommend not to lower the seat but use a stocker with beads that bring your butt to feet distance back to normal and facillitate sliding butt over the side to further improve lean angle. I have only a 29 inch inseam.
Those mods will necessitate improved rear & front suspension. Next you need a 240/55 R16 Exedra Max rear tire & a 140/75R 17 front &
YOU'RE RACER-X!
