1150 ES pegs lowering ideas

I purchased an 84 1150es and am totally in love with it. Eight other bikes in my garage and the es is the one i seem to always take on head clearing rides. I have an 08 Kawasaki zx14 that I put buell footpegs on to stretch my 6'3" leg out a bit and was wondering if anyone ever found lower pegs for the es foot rests that can go on with little modification. They are not terribly high stock but i would love an extra inch or so.
PS tried and 1150 E model (not for me) and I guess I am one of the small minority that prefer the ES. Go figure.
 
WOW!! 6'3" legs? :eek:

What's that make you, about 13' tall? :D

Sorry, can't help much with the footpeg question, just amazed at how tall you are. :-\\\

.
 
i'm 6-2 1/2 and find myself wanting to stretch a little more, but the seat was lowered by using less foam by previous owner. do you have a lowered seat that could take factory thickness?
 
Without knowing exactly how they are mounted, couldn't pretty much any machine shop make some little externder plates? All of $25 probably.
 
What about putting on some 1150E pegs?

EDIT: Did some checking and it appears that the pegs are the same so no love for this thought.:(

Is there a difference between the pegs for an 1150E and an ES?
I put ES bars on my E and now I would like to move my pegs up and back just a smidge because it seems I'm always touching down a foot when I really don't want to.

I'm 6'5" but not particularly long legged.
 
I could definitely do with a bit more space between butt and foot, but I don't want to drop the pegs at all. I've already touched the asphalt more than once with my toe during turns, so I'm going to be building up the seat a bit higher with fresh foam and a new cover.

If anything, I might consider moving the footpegs back a bit, but I'm not sure how I'll like that position.
