Just put the Vortex rear sets on and am pretty disappointed with the adjust ability. I've got long legs(35-6 inseam) and tend to sit close to the tank. This points my toes down more than most, I would guess. I was hoping Vortex pegs would adjust the levers lower than stock. But in fact stock is somewhat better in this regard.
The brake lever is limited by the master cylinder plunger. And the shift lever hits the guard it passes through to limit travel downward. And yes, I'm using the correct connecting rod.(which is irrelevant for this issue)
Any of you tall guys out there found a work around?
I've taken out the lock nut on the plunger to gain some. And have moved the sets back a notch(which I don't like and am not sure helps - feet are back further so toes are even lower) to get a bit more clearance on the shift side. This changes what it grounds against.
One thing I haven't tried on the shift side is to splay the two plate holes a bit so the plate can mount on an angle. This pivots the plate counter-clockwise and should give more room. A drag to have to do that.
