[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1333886, member: 11508"] Here's something I just thought of from looking at the pic of your highway pegs, and I went outside and double checked the clearance on my identical mounting plate. There is room [I]above [/I]the hole in the mounting brackets where the peg attaches for another hole to be drilled, and there's room on the inside of the bracket for the bolt that holds the peg on. So you could raise the peg pretty close to a whole inch to give you more ground clearance. The biggest problem with that that I can see is you'd probably have to unscrew the left peg from the bracket (one bolt) and remove that peg to get the oil filter off, and that's not much of a problem at all. Since I've always had highway pegs on my FJRs for pushing 200K miles and have never scraped a highway peg at all, I think the probability of a future disaster is lower than the estimate above.
