Default Peg position

Hey all

Was just wondering if anyone has looked into lowering their pegs at all or if anyone manufactures anything. I find that if my pegs were an 1 1/2" lower my *** wouldn't hurt after a long ride. I find that my legs sit a bit too high putting all my weight onto my tailbone. Any help is appreciated

Just looked at my FXC, I guess you have mid controls, and it doesn't appear to be a feasible option. Didn't find any peg lowers from aftermarket vendors. Lowering the rt peg would put one's foot against the exhaust, too... May want to consider a taller seat. H-D makes a tall boy seat, see link. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?WebLogicSession=PQb9rPCF2cAxjk2raQ ZdyKXR3PnQXZrUL1VGGPP6blh0Kh8k722P!517382746!hiwpb msp04.ihd.hd!7005!8005&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455244 48768420&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374309444622&AS SORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374309444622&bmUID=133903 8621019&bmLocale=en_US

Change your seat. Lowering the pegs will reduce maximum lean angle and you'll be scraping on every turn.
