Another option would be to move the pegs back further and shorten the brake instead.. the peg posistion is wrong in my opinion and makes for more fatigue.

I may do that..
Funny you should mention the foot peg positions. I covered that subject a year or more ago. From watching videos of people riding Hawks on deer trails through the woods, I noticed how much effort, and throttle, to get over logs and such. I mentioned that traditional trials bikes had their foot pegs only a couple of inches in front of the swing arm axle hinge. Or less. And yeah, another u shaped piece of metal needs to be welded or bronze welded to the foot pegs that it has, in order to satisfy American feet....ARH
