My first post, I like my 06 ZX-14 I recently bought, however due to a previous injury, I cannot get my right leg on the peg, and reach the brake with my toe. It's very awkward driving like this.
My search on this forum did not help me find the solution, which is to move both pegs and both the brake and the shifter forward like a standard UJM has. Doing just the brake side would look strange, so I need to do both.
Has anyone done this? Did you use parts from another Kawasaki model to move the controls? Is there an aftermarket kit for converting the bikes brake an shifter to a straight up riding position?
I bought the adjustable pegs and it was a complete waste of money, they give you maybe an ich, and do nothing for the brake and shifter levers.
I ask this question because if I cannot resolve this problem the bike has to go, and that would be awful.

I have a used set of Corbin foot peg lowering brackets from my ZX14..
They lower the entire mount on both the brake and shifter side.
It relocates the pegs Out 3/4" inch; Down: 1.5 inches; Forward 7/8 inch.
If you think that might help, get in touch and we'll figure something out.
I used them successfully due to a couple hip operations.
I couldn't ride without them.

Yo, Hank!

Thanks Hank,
I think I have pushed the limits of the stock rear sets, my pegs are aftermarket and provide nearly the same adjustment as the Corbins, with my right leg as screwed up as it is, the entire brake linkage needs to move about 2 inches forward and slightly down. I bent the brake lever with a torch and it helps, but I need a re-engineered brake and shift levers, or I'll be looking for a VMax which has the UJM style riding position.

I have a 2012. My rear brake is useless. Only good for holding the Bike at a stop.
What is your injury? Hip or Knee or Ankle?
Maybe raise your torso instead of moving the foot peg?

My ankle has almost no flexibility remaining, So it's important to find the solution that I mentioned.
The shifter linkage, and the brake actuator are variable, look at what HD drivers do, they have suicide shifters, forward controls, and a lot of non stock modifications to make their ride 'different' .
A competent fabricator would laugh at the simplicity of what I'm trying to do.
I may have to disassemble the linkages, and take them to a motorcycle salvage yard, and do some trial and error experimenting. The bike is worth saving.
Thanks for your input.

Did you understand that the brackets move the complete rear sets, not just the foot pegs?
I was hoping they would provide the relief you need.
Hank

I did not know that! Thanks Hank, I'll be looking into doing that ASAP.

I have a used set here for you to try if you would like.
Return them if they don't provide enough relief.
