I put the Suburban Machinery lowering peg brackets off my hexhead onto my wethead,fit & work the same as far as I can tell. No issues

Knight Design Lowered Footpegs just ordered a set Silver Anodized with Sidetrax Tread; all one piece with springs and pins. These can be ordered in different configurations of finish and tread. About $80 cheaper than Suburban Machinery adapters. Work GREAT.

Did either of you have to adjust shift lever or brake lever ?

[KeithK]

I adjusted my shifter (easy) and my brake. Using all of the brake pushrod available worked just right for me. YMMV

Sorry I missed this post earlier.. Yes I use them. They were the first things I installed.

 

No scrapes, no issues at all. More comfort, and I am a short guy. Did not have to adjust the levers...

I have the adjustable verholen pegs. For me and the passenger. I liked the adjustable aspect. I knew once I got the correct position I wouldn't move them, but getting them correct in the first place was why I wanted the adjustability.

 

I rode with them a month or so, then adjusted them a little and they are now perfect for me. I didn't change the levers at all. I have no issues with that. I have to bend my ankle a little for shifting but its not a big deal.

 

For the passenger I needed them to raise instead of lower. The back of her knees were hitting the front corner of the cases. Raising her feet/knees eliminated that, and also allows her better leverage to push back when she needs to. She is 5-0. I am 5-8.

I have just installed these from http://www.nippynormans.com/footpeg-lowering-kits/rider-footpeg-lowering-r1200rt-lc-2014-on

 

They were easy to install and they supplied a brake pedal plate which moved the assembly to the rear and down. I haven't adjusted my gear lever.

I just installed the Knight Industries pegs and find my stock shifter and brake pedal just find. I have small feet... if that makes any difference
