Default good way to raise passenger pegs

Anybody know a good way to raise them a little. GF is short legged and has problems with numbness during rides. I think the pegs are to low and cutting off circulation.

Sorry Joseph, but a lower suspension won't change the rider to peg distance.

you sure? on my bike i can push the rear fender down and the passenger seat height changes to the passenger pegs. becuase the pegs are mounted on the swing-arm, not to the fixed frame like the drivers pegs

i know lowering the suspension doesnt change the drivers pegs.

Funny you should ask this question. My bro. had the same problem with his ol' lady, she's 4'10".He's got an 02 Sportster custom.We looked everywhere for something and finally gave up.I just finished makeing him some peg risers for his scoot, they raise the rear pegs up 3 1/2 inches. I might be able to make some for you too. let me know if you want them. I'll need the year of your scoot, how far you want them raised up. I'll quote you a price, won't be as good as his price, but will still be good for a custom made part. Just so you know, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE.

In 04 they moved the rear peg mounts from the swingarm to the frame.
