PM Sent! Thanks for the question, Dave! I'm here to help!O.K. whats the deal with this mod? how is it better?
Same Here!!!also went with the heli bars and double bubble the bike is soooooo much more comfortable
I forgot to mention, I did run into a few snags after the peg installation. That part was a breeze. The hard part was adjusting the shift lever and rear brake lever. The 8 pages of instructions by GSX1300R-T were fantastic. I loosened the set screw on the rear brake lever and backed it all the way until the threaded rod hit the lever itself, at which point it won't adjust any farther. Even at that point, my lever is still too high. I have to crank my ankle up at an odd angle to get my to on top of the lever. I'm going to have to cut the threaded adjuster rod so I can gain some extra adjusting room. I also ran into a problem with my splined shifter shaft. It would not rotate in 1 tooth increments on the splined shaft. For some reason, it skipped 5 or so teeth at a time. As a result, my shifter peg is also too high. I'm going to have to do some further investigating to figure that out. It worked well enough on my 40+ mile test ride, but I'd like to get it set up properly, not half-heartedly because I got stuck and couldn't figure it out. Here's hoping the mechanical aptitude fairy visits me in my sleep tonight and drizzles mechanic's dust on me.
I have the pegs on my bike. What I found was that being tall 6'3" with long legs, was that my knees now tuck into the side of the tank better than before. I tried putting my old pegs back on a few weeks ago to see how they felt, and I could really tell the difference going back to stock. My knees were resting above the indents on the tank. I found I can corner harder with the buell pegs because I feel more planted on the bike.
