You put them in the back? Where? In the trunk?

I didn't measure, but it gives about the same leg room as cutting down the stock ones. If you do all four, they match and there is no rubber. Man, the OE front pegs are some big honkin' rubber covered prosthetic device lookin' things compared to the purpose built look of the gixxer pegs.

Mr. Nuts- How long do the factory pads last? I am impressed with the braking power, but I would like to upgrade to the EBC HH pads. How do they feel different from OE?

I installed my gixxer footpegs tonight. I got all four. I forgot to order the 2 bushings for the front ones. Doh! They fit well enough to get by until the bushings arrive. I ground down the bosses for the peg feelers. The bike looks lighter and cleaner, but you wouldn't know why unless it was...

DP- I was a background investigator and an oral board interviewer for a time. I am still not buying it. I think FC is a "cop groupie", not a police officer.

I found it. He goes by "V-Man". He can be reached at 1-800-359-0567.

The 200mm 207ZR is unique in that it has a steel belt that no other 207 has. As I am sure you know, it is the OEM spec tire for the second fastest bike on the planet.

I move around a lot. I sit up against the tank in low speed twisties. I scoot back a bit and put my head down on high speed sweepers. Anything over about 185-190 I put my chin on the tank and my butt against the hump.

What's a quick release? How fast have you gone with yours? My SPIDI 1pc. Hook suit won't be here until the 23rd. so I can't go fast.

Hapo- No citation (Thank the Lord!). I was not speeding. As far as his impression of my riding skills, his first words to me were "What the fu*k is your problem?!" He told me that he pulled me over because he thought I was drunk. I can't see that as a compliment. I've got about another half inch...

ZXALAN- I can't find my notes. It was a real nice guy on the parts counter at a Suzuki Dealership in North Carolina. He's on our board, maybe he could speak up. It was the only one that he had. It was a frustrating three months trying to find one and he really helped out.

I also wave at Goldwings if they are awake. I don't wave at squids in shorts and flops, and I don't wave at rastafarians.

Yes. That is why I only use one finger to cover the front brake when railing.

I wave at sport bikes, cruisers, Harley-Briggs&Strattons, scooters, bicyclists, police officers, paramedics, and fire fighters.

Light throttle putting- I keep it around 3000. Moving for lane position- around 4000rpm. Waiting to pass cars when distance is limited- about 5000. Passing R1s while they are passing cars when distance is limited- I hang out around 5000rpm and then stomp once when I take off, upshifting at red...
