And the big question...
Just how much are the pegs lowered with this kit? I unscientifically
measured from the ground to the lowest portion of the peg with bike
on the centerstand...and with MEZ4's.
Factory pegs top position.. ....15 3/4" (2000 model K12RS)
Factory pegs lower position.. 14 3/4"
With K12 Lowering Kit ........ 13 ½"
That's
a comfy 1.25" lower than the factory pegs in lower position on a 98-2000
model. To find out how much lower your pegs are on late model bikes,
just measure from the ground up to the tip of your pegs and then compare
with my measurements. Of course... if you live in an area where you
are regularly dragging bits and pieces on a daily basis.. can I come
visit? er.. i mean..these aren't for you.. But if you are like me..
bad knees, cramped legs, or with 95% of your riding on "tame" streets
these will make daily riding a much more enjoyable experience. Trust
me.. and for those interested... they polish up nicely.
Note: On the GT's, the black rubber hose
to the brake fluid reservoir will be very stretched tight. This has
caused zero probs to date, but some choose to add a longer hose. Your
choice. FYI..
* This kit includes Stainless Steel Heli-Coil inserts.
