The pipe shouldn't be in the way at all: the pegs sit very high.

Hey...did you get your bike new with that done? I like some of the newer colors and style but I want the mid controls because I am short and I have a hard time reaching the shifter and brake. (Story of my life..lol) Please e-mail me. haze14@hotmail.com.

Thank you
