    Great suggestiion, plenty of meat left to still function. Now you shaved off 20.015 lbs, that's a 3.5 hp gain.

      Glad I could help. Sometimes it's the easy answers that are the more obscure.

      1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

        I have done the same thing on brake pedals for more clearance as well as grinding some meat off the bottom of the footpeg to allow the pedal to travel a little further up.
        Then re-bleed the system to remove any and all excess pedal travel/sponginess.
