Or go all out and ride naked.... light weight and less wind resistance. I haven’t yet had the cans off this bike, but that was the monster weight savings on other bikes, where going after market (may or may not) improves looks, sound, and weight. I think it was a 12 lb savings on the ST4, iirc? That seems significant. After that it seems like nickel-dime changes, unless it’s rotating weight. And even for the rotating weight thing I’m just parroting what others have said (here and elsewhere), except that it does seem to be noticeable on things like mountain bikes, where small rotating weight gains can be felt by the chump trying to pedal...

all true... as einstein, budha, and clint eastwood all said, more or less, "its all relative!"

Pinged knight design, and they said they don't offer those. They're just down the highway from me.

I went with Knight Design for the new to me Griso. Like Knight and day if you pardon the pun. http://www.knightdesignllc.com Look at a lowered toe peg for the rear brake as well, the gear perl can be adjusted down. Where did you source your lowered toe peg? I've got the knight design foot pegs now, and may just stick with those, but being able to address the brake lever is part of that whole solution.

So Bill, you mean you've installed the motobits and the motratechs? Looks like you may a typo in there... To keep it simple, I think you're saying u like the "techs" over the "bits"? And JB, I have the knight design pegs. Agreed that those are a good change, and ultimately they are good enough, but the resultant lever (shift & brake) fitment is off, even with max adjustment of the stock levers. No big complaint, but some of the fun is looking for if/how to get it just right. The Knights are a good product and fit. And looks like he's a fellow Oregonian...

interesting. So sounds like there are lots of happy people with the successful peg moves. So then, I'm still working through the motratech vs motobits question, that has been hammered out by others to varying degrees of satisfaction. Will dig a little deeper on that part of the question next...

looks like i need to mod my profile... got lazy and didn't pay attention. It's an '02, and been on property since late summer. Love it. But not due to its comfort... No expectation for it to be a long range comfort machine for me. Its truly just fine to keep it as-is for how I use it, for putting to/from work, and the occasional sunny weekend spin. The other bikes are for the longer range riding. I just like to futz with the toys, and the ergos for sure are a thing I could justify messing with, if I found the right solution. And yes, I've become accustomed to the flying blue monkeys!

Not sure... Just would like to see if there's a way to keep the bike looking good but get it to where I don't need to do a concsious deep knee-bend to get my feet back on the pegs. Perhaps I'm chasing a ghost, but am searching ...

Oops... update: Founds a couple more threads that had eluded me somehow on the previous search. Clearly user error, though not sure why those threads didn't pop up on my last search. Still interested in input, but I'm finding more now and perhaps could have un-cluttered the forum by not posting this question.... cheers

I've sifted through a few threads on this topic and got a big of a feel on the topic, but does anyone have any solid opinions on the dropped footpeg setups like the MotraTechs? Thats not small price tag, and I'm not keen on changing the look of the '02 Lemans, but at just under 6'4" and in the over-50 "experience" group, the stock ergos are, well, not ideal. Do the motratech's make that much difference? And are owners happy with how they look? Are there other issues or plusses to the setup? Are there others that are better? Might be a christmas present to myself, but looking for a little more input before I cough up the expense. From the MotraTech ads, it appears that "tall"tCentauro owners would also be good folks to ask about this, as apparently the pegs end up mimicing the Centauro stock setup ergo's (?) I should add that I have the dropped pegs from the guy here in Oregon. Nice pegs, and they do make a difference, and I may just stay with these. But I can't get enough adjustment from the stock levers to make the whole setup feel as natural as stock (clunkier use of rear brake and shifter, even after adjustment within limits), and I'm also wondering about how much advantage I'd get from how the MotraTech's move the pegs forward as well. merry xmas everyone

Anyone using the mosfet regulators from places like roadstercycle? That was a common choice for some reason on my other Y2k era bikes that needed the Italian electrics addressed, in one case the Gran Canyon (though grounding was and is still the #1 issue imho). Just curious.... I'm new to the V11, and enjoying the learning here!
