In need of some advice on footpegs

I can lower the gear pedal by adjusting the rod with which the pedal is attached to the quick shifter.

Does anyone know if I can lower the pedal some more by adjusting the upper attachment point (see red circle)?

I don't know why moving it a few teeth lower would have any adverse effect.  Are the adjusters on the lower rod already at their max adjustment?

Yes, they are. The pegs will become 30mm lower and so I need the pedal to be a bit more down.

I have changed the shifter/ angle on my dirtbikes frequently, they don't have the linkage arm, shifter is connected directly to shift shaft.  It should take you a minute or two to lower it a few teeth to find out if the angle works for you.

So yesterday I finally installed the MFW Vario footpeg. Or at least the one on the right side. 

What I liked:

- the fact that the peg moves down 35mm is really nice

What I didn't like:

- the fact that the peg really comes out to the side, forcing your foot in a uncomfortable position to reach the brake pedal

- the fact that due to the construction (which is angled and works in steps), the peg either moves bit forward or a bit to the rear. Both are not good for me.

So, I took it off and the pegs are up for sale.

Now I'm looking into the Knight Design pegs. I did like the 20-35mm lowering of the MFW, but KD only makes 1" (25mm) or 1.5" (38mm). I'm afraid 38mm might be too far down and might be giving issues with the brake/gear pedals.

What did you finally end up going with? Debating between the 1 and 1.5 as well
