Default Cheap method to improve corner clearance

Just grind down the pegs. The cornering clearance increases with each incremental grinding operation..... and you shave a little weight

I wish my footpegs were the first thing to scrape. My exhaust has a fastener head positioned just right such that it scrapes before the actual pipe does. I just have to remember to replacet he fastener after every few scrapes.
