These are the best I believe.

ERGO footrest relocation rider | Wunderlich

For a relaxed seating position and perfect knee angle with ABE approval ✔ Premium components ✔ Integrated design

I have Migsel ones but I wouldn't really recommend them as they shorten the distance from the peg to to gear lever and brake too much.

+1 for the Wunderlich set which are brilliant and include everything including lowering of the gear and brake levers. I’ve had the set fitted since I owned the bike (2003).

Be aware that you will catch either your boot or the pegs on tight bends.

Pivotpegz
I found these the best, as the pivot motion releived cramps in both the knees and ankles

If the pegs are too high, why would you even think about lowering the seat..?

I’d suggest starting off by sitting on top of something to see if that makes you more comfortable? Then you’ll know how to proceed at least cost.
- If you’re comfortable and can stop confidently, then you can just get by with a raised seatpad
- and possibly a longer paralever arm to lower the rear if it’s marginal
- otherwise you need spend £££ for something more ‘engineered’

i,m not thinking of lowering the seat, i,m 6 ft 1 in tall the seat can,t be moved and the pegs are to high i,m cramped so need to lower the pegs

Back to your first post, where you mentioned lowering not being possible… I hope the rest of my post was still helpful

I have tried several, found Pivotpegs work best for me.

I have Pan European pegs on mine. They went slightly forward and down by about an inch. You just need a bit of angle aluminium on each side trimmed to shape.

 

[davegs]

Winderlich the best,have had them on for many miles but if you are’earoling whatch out for grounding recommend these first rate product.

I think I can answer that….

If the rod in the kit is short, then it screws into the end of the existing rod to lengthen it.

no the sw motech kit is just the pegs, i was talking about the oem gear lever, is there enough adjustment in that short rod to drop it a bit or enough

Interested in doing this, what year Pan foot pegs or do you have a picture please ? Thanks

 

[Udders]

Well yes, but I’ve since moved on to the far superior Fastway Footpegs.
With a much bigger footprint and spikey studs I find them a lot more comfortable on longer runs.
My feet don’t slip on the pegs either now.

Woderlich no1, had them on for 90k and been brilliant, tend to touch on fast corner. (Don’t help with spelling though).
