i notice that the passenger pegs have a ball spring in where it can be set either down or up when not is use. is there a way to make the forward pegs like that. right now there is the spring and it can't stay in an up postion because of it. It's kinda getting in the way when i have to manuveur the bike with my feet.

also, on the forks, i am planning on putting gaitors but i noticed that there is a plastic part on both forks that protrude up and look like they would get in the way of the gaitors. any way to remove them or will they not affect the gaitors?

thanks.

Pegs.... No... you must just be short. :hammer:

Forks... Remove them, they serve the same purpose as fork gaitors ie: protecting the critical area of the forks above the seals.

yeah, kinda short. 5'7" but i guess i got short legs.

if i was to remove those springs from the front pegs, will they stay up?

i was thinking of putting the passenger pegs on the front but it dont got that kink and would probably make it feel weird.

Honestly... I don't think you want your front pegs folding up accidentally while riding.

I was pretty sure you were short-legged, otherwise the pegs wouldn't be a factor. :hihi:
