Next on the list will be an upgrade on the Helibar risers but more research needed.
It will be interesting (at least to me!) to hear what you think of the peg lowering kit. I've never known anything but this set-up, so I have no real "before vs. after" comparison to make.
As I recall from my research, not only does the Suburban Machinery design keep the pegs on their original "in/out" plane, it's one of the few options that truly moves the pegs forward and down. The BMW kit, as I remember, moves the pegs lower, but also moves them slightly back, which made no sense for me.
Anyway, look forward to your ride report once you get 'em installed.
Well I was wrong on one thing, the SM lowered pegs are out board a tad more. The right peg/brake assembly is on a lowering block that does not change the brake engagement. The left just changes the peg so that the shifter is more inboard relative to the peg and an adjustment has to be made. I didn't find the shifters new relative position was a problem on my ride.
In conclusion, the lowering the pegs and changing the seat up one to standard released the impingement I was feeling on my repaired knee.
I also found it made the Helibar risers a tad more comfortable but a handlebar conversion is in the works.
