Nice little reflector or some cheap shoddy sticker off some forum.

Re: NBT: I've bought a Honda!
Litmus test will be tomorrows commute but the pegs felt a lot lower! Really hopeful that this will be the adjustment I need. That and the handlebar vibration are about the only gripes I have with the bike and I get numb fingers on most bikes, with the notable exceptions of the Ducati and Harley!

Re: NBT: I've bought a Honda!
The lowered pegs felt a lot more comfortable and i wasn't wincing with pain when I changed gear at all and never needed to extend my leg out to ease the discomfort I'm normally in after about 30 minutes of riding. The downside is I have to lift my foot to use the rear brake as it's just too high to reach normally. I use the back brake as much as the front so this is annoying. I may be able to lower it more if i remove the locknut on the adjuster? Or I maybe able to get my Nephew to cut it about and weld it in place a bit lower, assuming it's made of a material that can be welded? ISTR you can get kits for this as well, so i'll have google at lunchtime. It'd be nice to get it sorted.

You're a fucking fussy bugger ain't you.

Get it now before you want rid of the bike next week.
edit... at weeksy calling anyone a fucking fussy bugger.
