    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

First Gen 750E foot peg lowering methods

I'm 6'4" and come from a dual sport background. Getting my '78 GS750E back on the road and it just doesn't have enough leg room for me. It's the old "monkey humping a football" effect. On my KLR I installed lowering brackets and had a custom, much taller seat made for it. Can anyone direct me to a post or show me how they changed the position of the pegs to allow more leg room. I found a few posts regarding rearsets but I don't want that laying over the tank riding position. I've got a Windjammer and want a touring riding stance. Thanks in advance...

No joy at Wild Hair, oldest bike listed similiar to mine is a '85 Gixxer. I have an extra set of stock pegs so it looks like I'll have to cut and paste something up myself. I was looking for some inspiration. I'll definitely be adding a folding feature, a lot of likely prospects on ebay. Thinking of cutting off the solid peg in the right spot (to be determined) and using gussetted flat stock and channel to move a folding peg down and slightly back some. I'll be bribing my welder friend with Sapporo beer.
