Seems Nate has an answer for the reduced toe
clearence when using GenMar's Peg Lowering Kit.

QUOTE: It does look like hell but it has 45,000
miles on it with no breakage and more toe clearance.
One could probably find a better welder or pay a
pro. It does work great though. In combo with the bar
risers and rifle sheild it's almost goldwing like. LOL
