You're running 14'' on the rear right? I'm sure it gave you a significant amount of clearance. I've gone through 3 pegs in the past 10 months of owning mine. 7500 miles and counting. I want to raise my rear to 13" for the clearance since pegs are adding up.

Better your problem than mine- I've got a low and I scrape too soon for comfort. In fact, the only close call I've had thus far was entering a very tight turn at what should have been a safe speed.. drug the kickstand and had to stand it up a little, almost didn't make the turn. That'll be my next purchase, longer progressives.. I'm paranoid about it now and riding like a bitch in tight turns.

The real question is if you have any chicken strips?
