I like to throw my Speedy around in the corners and i've already hit the peg feelers with the forward mounted controls.




Lemme guess Sam...on Angeles Crest and Mulholland Hwys, right?!

(remember, old L.A. boy here myself...and those are both very fun roads on which to throw a bike around, as you most likely know)

Yep, for a stretched-out wheelbase and raked-out forked machine, this babies do surprisingly handle pretty well in the twisties, alright.

However, re your "scraping earlier with the mid-pegs" supposition, your answer would be no, as I have them high enough that they begin to scrape at just about the same lean-angle as when the stock forward pegs do. And thus because I am about 6'2" with a 33" inseam, as I said earlier in your thread that is the reason I added about 2" to my seat, so as to have my knees bent at just the right angle to insure comfort and so not to have my knees higher than my waist and while my feet are situated on those mid-pegs. And those mid-pegs also swing up, which does occasionally come into play when I REALLY lean my bike over into turns and the tips begin to scrape.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
