    haha funny you ask.....they are called "guntered" home made from all sorts, that dont look at all nice but is functional to allow the extra clearance for angles. I’ll grab a picture up close this evening and post tomorrow. I’m looking (while i have the bike off the "track") at seeing if i can "gunter" up something a little nicer on the eye and a touch further back as they still cause my toe to catch.

    where on the net? i have looked but have had no joy at all. all i can find it FZR450 one and they dont look to be adjustable? maybe machining might be the way to go, what’s been done on mine works but it could be massively improved on.....massively, especially if you have the equipment or even access to it.

    I think for the price of them mate you'd be better knocking up a set, they really don't seem to bring the peg up as much as the move it back, you'd still end up with the pegs digging in on leans. Have a look at "360 Adjustable Riser Front Foot Pegs For Yamaha FZR 600 89-93 94 95" on ebay, if I don't look at making something else for the fizzer I'll get these and modify them :)
