Has anyone used the Precision Engineering 2" Drop Footpegs? The drop is what I need, I know that the lean angle will be less but on the road it will be more comfortable. Would like info on how it affects the shift and brake lever adjustments.

Brake lever is about even making it easier. Had to drop the shifter about 3/4 of an inch, which was very easy.

The adjustable shift linkage let's you put it where you want.

On mine, I had to cut my brake linkage rod to get my pedal low enough. You may like your brake higher and not need to. Pegs vibrate slightly more than stock.....

I don't notice any extra vibration, just did a three day ride loaded with camping gear and felt very comfortable standing on these pegs to mount and dismount the bike. 6' 280 lbs I'm very happy with them.

Love mine. Haven't touched down yet but here in Illinois, not many turns!! Brake was fine, made adjustment to linkage on shifter, no problems. Good investment.
