Hi everyone,
I am a mature rider my most recent bikes have been a Triumph Tiger 800 and a Ducati Multistrada 950.
I quite fancy a Crossrunner as my next one, please bear with me while I ask numerous questions.

Hi Rob, welcome.

Ask away.

  Welcome Rob. I'm sure the clan will be only too happy to answer any questions you have, especially as you are considering buying one of the best motorcycles ever made.

Tell us about the multistrada 950

[rusticRob]

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Multistrada 950 what can I say, I was seduced by her Italian good looks, but unfortunately my knackered old knees and hip couldn't get on with the riding position.
I managed to only loose £50 when I sold, so a cheap Italian fling 
So one of the mods I would need to do to the Crossrunner would be to lower the footrests, has anyone dropped them by 2"?

johnG started a thread in July 2017 about a kit he bought from the following link:   http://www.jaws-motorcycles.co.uk/bird2.htm#lowers

Thanks for the link, I have read that.
My idea to lower the pegs is to use a plate on the frame and lower the whole footrest assembly if that is possible.

Hello rusticRob, welcome

I bought a pair of the jaws motorcycle product on the off chance they'd fit my mk1. They did - perfectly. The nice thing is that they don't look like an addition. I looked at a number of universal fit parts on the bay and they really look cobbled together.
