I just ordered these from Twisted Throttle! They look sweet on their website Loaded 700x. Anybody have these? If so, what do you think? The hand guards are the slightly larger Storm model.

I have the MFW lowering pegs. 30mm arms. They are well made but seemed a bit pricy to me. I got the super grip rubberized pegs. The pegs are grippy. Just wish they had more of a wide flat peg like the stock ones as an option. I have them mounted straight down which dropped my knees about an inch.

Hello, I bought the vario foot pegs because I am 6'6" and I can lower these pegs to make me look less like a preying mantis on a motorcycle.
What is your inseam length? My inseam on my jeans is 34" and my right knee starts hurting after a while. Can you feel a big difference?
When I have my seat worked on, I'm going to have them add a inch or two to it. I also want the lower pegs, just have to keep saving for all the farkles.

My peg's are on backorder so haven't gotten them yet. Inseam is 36. What are you doing to your seat to raise it?

I’m 34-35” inseam. The seat mod made the biggest difference for me. Lowering pegs did also help but I think the seat was the bigger change. Pegs did drop the knees down another inch. With the varying positions, you can move the peg forward or backward a bit though that lessens the lowering.
Trooper, here is a seat mod you can do yourself. http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/1574-seat-mod-slope-change.html
After doing the slope change I decided I could wait another year before sending the seat of to Russell or Mayer.

I'm sending it to a custom shop. He said he uses firmer foam that won't compress as much plus more of it.

Thank you. Maybe post a pic when done?

Thanks for the info bamamate. The slope is kind of bazaar. It sure does push you and keep you forward. Not to mention a little slippery. Cheers

Crap, I meant bizarre. I really can spell.....
Hopefully it will look like this seat. http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/2013-alternatives-seat-mod-5.html
Only with a back seat.

That'll be awesome if they pull it off.
Its been done once before, so I bet he can do it again.
If you use the lowering pegs, be sure to Locktite the heck out of the bolts. If one were to vibrate out while you were standing on the pegs it could be the death of you. I would like to have seen them with more thread engagement. Maybe that aspect is possible to mod.
I'll do that. Thanks.

+1 on this advice. Had one of my pegs start to loosen up. Thankfully I noticed it as the peg had rotated a little.
