1150 or 1200 GSA?

Migsel does lower pegs for the 1150. Make sure you get the wee springs too. Details here.

I have them on my 1150GS and recommend them. You can find a fitting report I posted here.

Get a higher seat perhaps.....

it's an 1150, with the high seat, TT do a super high seat but then i.m thinking to high for the screen.....buffeting a bit severe now... so the high seat would compound the problem...maybe normal screen with that spoiler thing and lower pegs wot u think...

Personally, I'm completed opposed to doing anything to a bike that compromises its ground clearance when it's cranked over. However, if you can live with it, that's the important thing. It might be worth trying the lower pegs but keep an open mind about changing them back to standard if they drag on the road too much and too often.

As an ex sports bike rider, blade, zx12 etc etc ground clearance worries me as well, likes me corners i do, so i think super tall seat[nice veiw petunia] and mess around with screens.... then she'll be perfick

.... then she'll be perfick

Steady on ol' chap. It is, after all, one of those slow, wheezy, old 1150 things we're talking about here, isn't it....

Yes but then you're English and have no idea what a good bendy road really is.

However, it's nice to see that you've become a GS expert after such a brief period of ownership.....

I've fitted the Migsel lower pegs. Work fine: my wonky knee appreciates the extra leg room.
