Iridium plugs arrived in the post today. ðŸ'ðŸ»

Installed right side foot peg (no thread locker) to get a feel for what position might work.

Brake pedal was somewhat to the left of the peg, perhaps too far.

I might get a spin in tomorrow arvo to test it then adjust from there.

If it's no good, I may need to adjust the pedal a little.

I'll also test the strength of the foot peg itself.

Putting on the left peg. They feel solid enough but a test ride is in order! 😉

If the test ride goes okay, I'll fiddle a bit with the positioning to get them right, then add the thread locker! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»

Test ride yesterday!

Peg strength and positioning was good. The knees were grateful for the new angle. Ground clearance yet to be explored.

Did some adjusting of the gear selector, so that's pretty right.

The brake lever needs some work now, as it's too far left of the peg. I reckon it's been damaged in an off by one of its four previous owners.

Some gentle bending will probably be in order.

Sunday - went for a ride up the old Pacific highway to road warriors cafe and saw a beautiful Desmosedici RR :-)

Hi Simon,

What's the score on the Termi install? Hope you don't have to sell your first born! Lol!

haha, yes I was a bit worried but actually D Moto have been very good so far. They were upfront about it being cheaper if I buy the parts myself and they just fit them. For me though the biggest advantage they have over Fraser's is that they will collect and drop off my bike which is great as I live on the Northern Beaches in Sydney which is the opposite side of the city from them.  [thumbsup]

That sort of convenience is often worth paying extra for! If it's around the same price as other shops then you've struck gold!
