It showed how to use angle iron and square tubing to move the pegs back and down. I've literally spent hours searching this forum and others for the post. Can anyone help me out? Also, does anyone produce a bolt on relocator any more? I know there was a guy who had what appears to be a great setup but he skulked off into the night with a lot of peoples $$$. Anyone else out there making such a thing?

#ygrps-yiv-370813698 p {margin:0;}I used to commute on an old Seca II which was incredibly narrow and when I switched to commuting on the KLR, the width of the bars frustrated me.  Now that I've been doing it for a while, I barely notice the width.  You get used to it and plan and time your routes based on it. I end up splitting at least as fast as the guys on the sportbikes and I rarely have to stop to wait for an opening anymore. -Jeff Khoury

BTW - if you regularly split lanes on a KLR get different bars.  Helps immensely!   I do think I would enjoy listening to campfire stories told by TK. revmaaatin.>> [b] [/b]

I and others have made lowering blocks for the stock brackets but the flaw is that they hang below the frame and it is very easy to shear off a mounting bolt. There was the one other attempt that I know of to make different brackets but as another reply noted that fellow seems to have vanished, allegedly with customers' money. I have just been talking to a friend with a CNC machine shop about making new brackets that replace the stock ones but about 1 3/4" lower and 1/2" further back. I wear size 13 boots and that position works well for me. We're going to get started on this after the holidays. I'm not doing this as a vendor, really just for myself but it would be easy to run extras once the computer program is done. The shop has instant prototyping so we can fit it up and change if needed as we go along. Costs look reasonable but not finalized yet. Kurt
