What is one of the first and essential mods for the comfort and better handling of your Suzuki DR650?
It's lowering your footpegs. Unless you have short legs, almost all riders can feel cramped, and your knees feel too high and over-flexed when sitting on the bike.
Since the factory's stock peg mounts are high, we designed our own Footpeg Lowering Mounts.
They will improve seating ergonomics by allowing your knees to relax and make gear shifting more natural. It will enhance the transition from sitting to standing when riding off-road (rally riders use "tall" saddles).
The current offers do not lower them enough (max 1.5"). We want to maximize that with 2" instead, where the peg bracket will be slightly above the frame level. The footpegs are shifted rearward (1/4") but not as much as the current offers because they can cause trouble reaching the shifter if you do not wear size 13 boots!
The lowering mounts are built with high-strength structural steel using a simple and sturdy design. The plates are CNC laser-cut and then carefully welded together before getting a durable powder-coated black finish.
Important Notes:
Lowering your footpegs 2" requires adjusting your rear brake setup:
- Recommended Solution: Upgrade to the Warp 9 Brake Pedal or CNC Brake Pedal. It features the proper shape and clearance for a downward adjustment. Check the "Learn More" section for full installation details, as it also needs a modification to the master cylinder threaded rod.
- Using the Stock Pedal: To retain your stock brake pedal, you must space out the mounting plate so the pedal can pass behind it. Use your longer stock bolts with thick washers as spacers.
