Rear sets?
Thinking about spring, and new bikes, my 2009 1200 is not very comfortable for me, mostly because the mid pegs are too far forward.
I have handlebars I like, I like the bike otherwise (except its a bit overweight) so I wonder if there is any non drastic way to move the pegs shifter and brake back about 2 or 3 inches???
When running on the hiway at 75 mph, I often use the passenger pegs, but that is a bit unsafe and not ideal.
Some cut and welding of the peg mounts might work, but what about the other stuff?

There are several but the best I've seen are from Chainsickle.
You'd need the 04 & up standard shift pattern set.

best on the market are the Storz...been looking at rear sets for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger so I can save up for another bike.
Aside from Chainsickle, I also looked into a Japanese company who produces them, Sato Racing...check them out. Their's are pretty slick as well.

Thanks for the replies!
Don't like any of the ones you guys came up with, sort of ugly and too far back.
I would need 2 inches, not a foot!
I think I am likely screwed.
Well, its too cold out to study the bike, but I wonder about the xr peg locations...
