Finally sat on a CB1100--foot controls?

[rboe]

I find them perfect between forward and rearward, but a bit high. Lower pegs or higher seat would be better. In my opinion they are in the same location as the 70's bikes. But I also like red so there you go.

I checked some photos of some 70's bikes and all of the ones I saw are a little farther forward. It's the "crotch rocket" influence. But you are right, they are too high also (another crotch rocket influence). All foot controls should be like the Suzuki TU250X. It's a retro bike that is most like a 70's bikes. Trouble is, most people don't remember. If you want to see perfectly placed foot controls, check out the old CB175.

I'm going from memory, but also from my 1973 CB350F sitting next to my CB1100. Perhaps it's just the 350.....
