Are the pegs now far enough forward for you to stand up on them? Might help on long trips (sans pillion).
John,
Sort of. I just went out and stood on the rear pegs from the saddle. I'll try it next time I ride. Seated on the saddle with the balls of my feet on the rear pegs, my heels are in line with the rear shock's top bolt. Another way to envision the feet position is that when on the rear pegs, the feet are under the rear of the saddle.
The 20 mile ride I took Thursday night was more a Thank God I'm riding ride than it was a let's see how these repositioned rear pegs can benefit the rider. You see this ride was my first with the 440’s installed as well,  soooo, I was asphalt dancing and grooving on the progressive dampening. I did drop the left peg down and put my boot on it. Nice I thought, but now put your boot back where it belongs! Re the 440’s: wow! WOW! Shazam! Dang. Thank goodness I have the front springs to install as the oem front end's shortcomings are most apparent vis-vis the 440s.
Count on a report soon about the unexpected bonus benefits of repositioning the rear pegs. Oh yeah, and a report from the passengers perspective!
