Has anyone tried the steel footpegs that swivel with your foot? I forget the make.

One factor that may vary your mileage here is if you learn to shift with the side of your boot sole, which is what I have to do in my Tech 8's, and my boot size is only a 43 (size 8 1/2 to ten depending on who is doing the conversion). In any event, I have no problem riding with wide IMS pegs and my stock shift lever.

The KLR is pretty close quarters under the shifter anyway and with a wider footpeg, there is even less. I d recommend going with the Moose Offset Footpegs for anyone with a size 10 or larger boot. yes, ymmv > > Fred > www.arrowheadmotorsports.com > > > > From: revmaaatin > Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2011 11:08 PM > To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: gasping for breath > > > The wider the peg, the easier to stand on the pegs for extended time. > The wider the peg, the more difficult to shift with MX boots (yes, even after adjustments). > > The wider peg moves your foot-arch (aft) and thus moves the rotation point of your boot in relation to the shifter. ymmv. > > revmaaatin. > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
