    I'm contemplating ordering the Knight Design lower pegs for my 1998 VFR800. For those that have tried the KD lowering pegs on their 1998 - 2001 VFR800, I have a question:

    What did you do about adjusting the brake pedal height? With the stock pegs, I have about 1/8" of threads left on the adjustment end of the brake pushrod. If I used all that adjustment, that would translate to roughly 3/8 " at the pedal which wouldn't be enough for me. How did you guys get past the issue of the limited range of adjustment in the brake rod?

    Thanks.

    I think some people are just taking the clevis apart and removing the jam/lock nut entirely. That will give you about another 2-3 threads of adjustment, which should move the pedal down another 1/8"-3/16", I figure.
