Yeah I'd love to see pics when you have a sec. I just lowered my seat today so being a tall dude rockin a CB200 it's a little cramped without some sort of rearsets. Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Here's pics on how I reversed the foot pegs. Used the original mounting bolts. On the brake side I drilled and tapped a hole and inserted a screw to align with the hole in the peg bracket to prevent the pegs from swiveling. Also had to heat and bend the brake to clear the rear mounted peg. On the shif side I drilled and tapped a 1/2" steel rod with a 10MM bolt cut the head off and drilled and tapped the frame and nutted it on the back side for the shift lever pivot. I filed flats on the round shaft to serve as a point to get an open end wrech on to tighten the shat to the frame. I sawed a thin groove around the circumference of the outer end of the shaft and installed a snap ring. You could drill a small hole and insert a cotter pin to retain the shift lever. he pivot shaft also served as an anti swivel point.
