Hello all,

This is a simple question regarding changing the toe pegs after installing lowered pegs.

I have some of the Knight design one's coming.

It looks like there is a grub? screw with an allen head that needs to be loosened . Does that come out all the way?
Then it looks like a circlip that needs taking off. It looked like there were no holes in the circlip for pliers. What is the best way to remove those without deforming them?

Thanks for any help.
 
YES THE ALLAN SCREW COMES OUT ALL THE WAY AND THE CLIP COMES OFF VERY EASY WITH A SMALL SCREW DRIVER. MAKE SURE YOU LOCKTITE THE PEG TO THE DROP BRACKET.
 
kiwijohn, what size did you get? I plan on ordering a pair, but can't decide whether to get the 2 inch or 2.5 inch.
 
Hmm. Does the length refer to the peg only or the total length including drop bar?
 
I got a pair of the two inch pegs. I feel that only need to be slightly longer than stock so 2 inch should be fine. The main issue is the brake lever feeling a little high with the lower foot pegs.
 
I got a pair of the 2 inch toe pegs. I also replaced my 1 inch lowered foot pegs with 2 inch lowered pegs. The combination works really well. I'm 6' 2" and found the extra leg room over the 1" lower pegs far better. I'm not worried about scraping - my boy racer days are far behind me. The lowered toe pegs look a bit odd, but foot position is far more comfortable.

I've been thinking of getting the 1.5" ones with the rubber top.

Any side stand or any other fitment issues to worry about?
 
Hey just a thought here, if ya want a 2" lower peg (that is a lot of lost cornering clerence) I just used a 1" lowered vario peg, and added 1" to the seat height with the corbin viola 2" more room and not much lost cornering clearence. actually none ( I am running 15mm tall in the rear with a longer shock perch).

the stock shifter is ok with this 1 " low vario rotated down( the lever is a bit long when on your toes)

but I really do need a lowered rear brake lever.....what am i sayin...only use the rear on the gravel pull offs :woohoo:
