even though the 950 sets low, it is still NOT a short persons bike.

it still needs to be lowered (~$40 on ebay, $80 @ dealer)

it needs the seat cut & remade to move the rider forward.

even then, my 5'0 wife could not reach to brakes and the front shifter peg at the same time.

so we took it to a local shop to have the pegs moved back an inch.

we also moved the horn down to the bottom of the electronic ignition.

what really crappy is due to the poor packaging, the factory welded all the tabs on the frame, so now, you either have these big hooks on the frame, or you grind them off.

Doesn't moving the both pegs back 1 inch get in the way of where the left foot has to go down sometimes?

nah, i could get my size 12's in there when it was stock,


now, she stil has plenty of room for her "girl sized" foot

Guys, this might seem stupid as hell for a question, but I have an 1100 custom (2007) and I was wondering if you knew how the heck to get your stock pegs off to mount a heel/toe shifter and floorboard.

if the bike is popular,

there should be a kit.

i would GOOGLE it a lot and maybe there is an answer on another forum
