Hi - new guy with his first of a bazillion questions: I've been reading all about peg-lowering and knee-savers, but I was noticing the ergonomics of the problem (for me) on a long ride yesterday. The big fuel tank has me opening my legs at a fairly wide angle, yet the pegs are mounted perpendicular to the frame. With my boots on the pegs, it causes an inward twisting of the ankles that I don't see being cured by just moving the pegs down/back. Maybe I'm completely wrong on this, so please enlighten me. I'm wondering if it's possible to turn the pegs out at a slight angle to relieve this stress. Of course, slightly longer brake and gearshift levers would be necessary. Is there just no way to do this, or is it a safety issue during agressive cornering? Just wondering if anyone has tried this approach. I do have a friend with a machine shop who might be able to whip something up for me to try.... Thanks Brian
