Downhill braking bumps, even going off a gutter, should dramatically show the difference to a stocker.

Big time......

Woodman have you had a look how to shift the pegs back? Looks like not an easy job - the bracket has nasty little bend that brings it out - might be hard to make. Might even have to get a pro to look at that - nup bugger that I'll have a go

What could possibly go wrong...

Yes I have spent many an hour staring at the footpegs and devising a way of setting them back an inch or so, and have not come up with anything concrete yet, except that it would be a good idea.

I am not that confident in actually completing the job considering I have spent the last 11 years on making rear-sets for the Benelli, and still haven't really got anywhere.

BBTW this was my thousandth post. Maybe I should spend more time thinking about footpeg positioning.

Congrats Woodman on your thousandth post.

Youll probably find the traffic pulls off the road today to let you through, a checkout operator will open up a checkout in front of you as you walk towards the long lines at the supermarket & that nice woman in the bakery you chat to every day will flash her Bristols at you as she hands over your mince & cheese pie.

I grew up on a steady diet of "Carry On" movies where bristols were a main focus

it didn't seem so corny back then....

Yeah, I used to have a '91 Tengai. Brilliant bike. Sold it on at 160k kms to part fund the '08. Not a fan of the colour scheme with this one, but with the low kms and great overall condition, she should serve well for many years to come.
