    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.

Lowering Footpegs

I would like to lower the footpegs on my GS850G about 1 1/2 inches for a more comfortable driving position. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? It looks like I can fabricate a bracket that would go between the footpegs and the bolt holes. Any ideas?
Thanks, Terry
 
Just remember when you lower them you will have less conering clearance.... :twisted:
 
Have you thought about moving them forward. I f you move them down 1 1/2 in you will not have any clearance
 
It's a shaftie, cornering clearance isn't a consideration.

(payback for all the pro-shaft comments, nyah. :P )
 
I actually drive the winding roads in Northwestern Illinois quite often and haven't drug a peg yet. Unfortunately while I am in a corner I don't have the time to look down and see how close the pegs are to the pavement. The only time I have drug a peg was on '83 SilverHawk that I was test driving. Also rubbed off the toe of my leather boot. That bike was way too small for me!

I think I'm going to have a friend fabricate a small fitting that will drop the pegs down 1 inch and see how that works. Most of the time on the highway I use my highway pegs but I can't do that in the twisting roads.
Thanks, Terry
