I saw on the back of WingWorld that a company now makes a modification to the riding position that moves the feet 1 inch down and 3 inches forward. Although I have highway pegs, these would make it a bit more comfortable when riding "normally". Anyone seen these or have them?

That sounds interesting Rapier, keep us informed please.

doesn't seem like there would room to move three inches foward

Last issue? I'll check it out if I can remember when I get home.
Of all the things I've lost over the years, I miss my memory most.

Well, I'd say who it is, but I don't know if they are a sponsor here or not. Don't want anyone to get their panties in a bunch if I mention a company name that isn't paying sponsor bucks.

That shouldn't be a problem Rapier. The biggest issue with such things is flat out advertising for something. Plenty of us have mentioned products that we see & use. Especially when people ask for advise.

Go for it. I'm sure the big brass will be okay with it & you can always blame me.

OK, then here goes:

These new controls will be available at/after WingDing.

Of course, the downside is that it would move the pegs down an inch and increase the ability to scrape the bejeezus out of them. That 3 inches forward sure would be nice if it didn't cause an issue with the toes pressing up against the bottom of the heads.

Not really a very good picture of the product though Mike. Anyway we put it out there.

The write-up is much better from the back cover of WingWorld:

"By creating an efficient method of moving the footpegs, shift lever and brake pedal forward 3" and down 1", Comfort Controls (tm) increase the angle of the rider's knee providing a more comfortable riding position and allowing for faster, easier access to the ground upon stopping. Safety AND Comfort!"

i would rather get a seat that moves me back than loose ground clearance but for you guys that carry a passenger the custom seat would create a problem

I picked up a used set of those this spring. The bit they lower the pegs (mini boards) is nice, but they also move them out a hair. I dragged them several times in corners though (and trust me, I'm not an aggressive rider). I ended up having to move them back up to the stock peg height.
