Nice looking mod Fred. Can you get the brake pedal low enough without it hitting the exhaust or would it need some modification?

Good question Noel...Hey Fred, I like those pegs, where did you get them?

2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

Noel, I do have the brake pedal adjusted so I slightly raise my foot to step on it. It does not contact the pipe when I actuate the brake.

Pat, I got the pegs from an eBay add. Lockhart Phillips NOS. I actually bought 2 sets to make one set. The peg and the mount that goes in the OEM peg holder is from a FZR1000 and the lowering arm is from a GSXR750

These photos are not Lockhart Phillips, but this gives you an idea of what I used.





I did just put this set on my 89'

Here is the thread that covers these.

I actually like the ones I cobbled together better.
