feels good to slowly make those peg feelers disappear. And this is with aftermarket shocks!.

The peg bolt heads are cheap and one member has replaced the pegs with a shorter version. Wouldn't be a trouble to make them up yourself. Nice photo. Is that a Kevlar jacket?

Cheers

Nice picture.

What kind of after market shocks have you mounted?

I'd say, your suspension is too weak. Look how low your chassis runs and how deep the front fork is deflected.

You could lean more, if you would give more preload to your front springs and your after market shocks.

Nice photo! I have never dragged my pegs on the CB.
I wonder if you hung off more, and let the bike stand up higher if that would help....some knee dragging :-)

The jacket is a 10 year old Joe Rocket, sadly not Kevlar. The rear shocks are ZRX1200 KYBs that were modded by race tech. The front springs are at max preload. I am just tilted over pretty hard and right in a spot where the road starts to level out, plus I am a big ape. New race tech heavy springs are on the way.
