xtremef4i Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 OK so I rode with a guy from work last night. He has an 03 GSXR 1000. He was wondering if there was any kind of kit to lower the pegs since the stockers are tucked up so tight. He liked the ergos on my F4i and wants lower pegs. Does any one know of a kit that lowers the stock rearsets for more comfortable touring and leg room? He said he found some online a while ago but cant find anything now. I think there is some sort of kit for the SV...wonder if that would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 What's up with not stopping by? You cruise past the shop rev the bike and then never come back . Just messin.How'd Canal treat you guys? What'd he think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was gonna stop but figured the guy I was with wouldnt want to...I thought we would just be on a short ride but we ended up going out past RT 35, down Valley and taking the same route as NinjaNick would take us from the usual meeting place...we only rode a few of the roads and turned around to go home. I wanted the guy to see your shop in case he ever has you do his tires or something. He doesnt ride that hard so I was waiting a while on him thru Canal...he liked it though. I rode his 1000 and my Lord that thing is insanely fast!!! almost too much...But you know I want one.Hey Dustin, I imagine you or your dad could probably machime some sort of lowering plate right? I know they make riser plates for my bike instead of buying aftermarket rearsets...just slap a plate on that relocates them....Let me know if that is possible with out messing up the shift linkage and not being able to shift gears.

natedogg624 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 i've never heard of lowering pegs, although i can see why.the only kinds i know of raise and push it back for a more aggressive style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm sure with a little work, my father probably, could fab something up. If he can't the Joe can on the CNC. They're moving the shop out today, but I'll still be able to get in touch with them if I need to for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 cool...see if Joe or your dad can give a ballpark number on making some sort of plate to lower them...Im sure it will be easy but I have no machine skills...it pays to have friends in low places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can't remember which GSXR I had them on the 01 or 03 1000 but I had a just a peg that rotated 360. You could quickly change it from raised to lowered. At some of the settings you could actually be lower and more forward.They wer Lockhart Phillips called 360 peg or something like that. they never took off I guess and they didn't make them for many bikes.

Dweezel Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 TL1000 pegs are lower, or the Buell XB90 pegs are even lower, but check for exhaust clearance if it's close, their like 30 bucks from the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rearset Lowering KitThis was the first one that came up but I'm sure there are others. I've seen guys getting lowering kits all the way back in '01. I'll see if I can find some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen guys getting lowering kits all the way back in '01.

Dweezel Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Are they the whole rear set and peg? do they bolt right up to the 03 gixxer?Just the peg, they require some filing down as the buell pegs are too thick, but they are an extremely popular mod for the 'busas. I guess they give you an inch or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 yeah, lots of peeps go with the BUELL pegs for such improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 ive never heard of the buell pegs being used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 just buy some aftermarket rearsets.... You can find them for dirt cheap on the wera boards and such.only problem most rearsets raise the pegs not lower.I think the Vortex adjustables you can flop the plates (mount the ones for the right on the left side and vice versus) and get them lower..
