Lowering Rider Footpegs

[Marcr]

I need your help, I'm finding the riding position on my Roadster a little cramped. I have searched the web and haven't found anything obvious. I only recently purchased the bike, and have been getting familiar with the riding position.

Any ideas or a point in the right direction would be great. I am 6'2"

You should find someone near you with a standard and sit on it. You might light the peg placement better. If so you can swap them out. If it just during criusing times forward highway pegs can be added.

Thanks, I'll look into that option. I'm not keen on the highway pegs, as I don't have engine guards, and I don't really want to add them. I am going to add handlebar risers as well, that might make the ride a bit more comfortable too.

Also " Raask " used to offer an adjustable footrest bar. Try searching the web for that option.

And there are the RIVCO version quite popular for those not wanting an engine crash-bar clamps directly to the 1" foot rails.

Merely my 2 Bolivars worth, but I recommend you N-O-T lower the pegs!
They already drag pretty easily in a good curve.
Perhaps raise or pad your seat.
Being 6'2" is not important here - what is your inseam?

It's 32inch, so not too extreme. I have looked at the FC17 forward controls, but they would be too much of a stretch.

I think the seat raising is a genuine option.
