haven't any for sale but you'll get some VARIO adjustable pegs from Busters,I forget how much they was but they're not fortunes.
I’m far shorter than you at 5’09” but had similar problems with seat height / knee bend ratio. I was lucky enough to get a second hand raised seat from a fellow foccer and have fitted that. For me this has been enough to make a significant difference, although, if I was being completely honest, I’d rather it was maybe 5 or 10mm shorter, but I’ll cope as is. The same foccer also sold me a set of adjustable foot pegs at the same time. As the seat suits me, I haven’t bothered with these. If you’re interested in them let me know and you can have them for what I paid. I’d have to check, but I think it was £30?. Also, if you’re near to me, Oxfordshire / Berkshire borders and want to come and have a try on my raised seat, to see if something similar might suit you, get in touch.
Having done some searches and drawn a virtual blank, I am keen to know if anyone has fitted lowered footpegs to accomodate a tall rider on a FZS1000? I am 6 ft 6 tall and have a knee replacement ..yes , old f*cker.Keen to understand what works, AND what does not, and if anyone has any peg lowering solutions for sale???

Don't think lowering the pegs would not be a good idea, as it would ruin the ground clearance for cornering

I am in Worcester, so not quite local but also not a million miles away!I am sure the seat change is worth the effort, being tall its aways better to go up rather than lower the pegs, but my knees need something and the seat changes seem to be tough to do and expensive!
the footrests in the previous post are £23.88.i have used footrests from this firm on two bikes with no problems.Malc
RogD I also have had a knee replacement, 6 months ago, but I am a short arse with 29" inseam. I've fitted lower footpegs to one of my bikes, that's made it comfortable ish, had the fazer out twice this year and can only do 30 - 40 mile stints on it, which is ok for me as that's what I bought it for (plus track days) but if you go the lowered footpeg option let us know please. Good luck with it.
