Has anyone seen foot peg lowering kits around for the S10? SW Motech has pegs that can lower 0.6 inches, but I want more drop and don't need new pegs. I had the Motorcycle Larry's kit on my VStrom and I really liked it, but I don't see anything on his website for the S10. It seems like the pegs on the S10 are further forward (slightly) than on the VStrom. I wish they were back a bit further and slightly lower.

I have the SW-Motech and on the low position they are lower than stock - and scrape pretty easily. I put them in the high position.
Anything lower is going to be scraping a lot - unless you ride the thing like it's a cruiser!

I put Fastway F5 pegs on in the low position, and they have more clearance than stock. Not necessarily a good thing - rode the Dragon Friday, and the left peg needs a feeler - something else (sidetsand or centerstand?) scrapes before the peg does.

I'm not sure of the model number offhand - I pulled them off my 800 GS before I sold it, so whatever model number of the Fastway F5 that works for the GS is it.
I think I got them online somewhere - they were about $150. Money well spent for the GS, but I am considering the lower pegs from Twisted Throttle - peg surface dimensions appear to be the same, but I think they might give me a bit more leg room. I guess other option is an aftermarket seat that is a bit taller, but that doesn't help with the peg/bar relationship.

I already have the seat in the highest position (with the slope modification done) and am using a 3/4 inch gel pad and an Airhawk. I put the gel pad inside of the Airhawk cover and it fits perfectly. I was thinking about modding the stock seat and inserting the gel pad, but I'm happy with the current set-up for now. Playing more with the seat height will introduce just another variable into the handlebar set up. It's hard enough making one change at a time and trying to measure the results! If I could find the Motech pegs for less than the $159 twisted throttle is asking, I may go for those too. Thanks for your help!
