Suzuki V-Strom Owners Site
The V-Strom is a very comfortable, upright bike, but for me the bend in my knee was a little much over distance. I fitted the Cymarc Foot Peg and
Control Lowering Kit what a stunning difference.
1. First Impressions/Unboxing Impressions
Quality engineering and a quality finish (available in black or silver) and the kit came will all the required parts including a replacement split pin for the back
brake lever (nice touch).
2. Initial Setup/Installation
The installation is extremely straightforward, however, I did have the sense to take a photograph before I started (this was intended for this review), lucky
really because once fitted I instantly realised that I had put the gear linkage back on 180 degrees out which meant downward selection on the gears had the
opposite effect (2, 3, 4 etc.)
The back brake rod needs extending and this is taken care of by a simple coupler (supplied in the kit). All in all, 15 minutes either side.
3. Real World Testing (how did it perform)
The difference this small modification made (for me) was a transformation, I can't recommend it enough.

5. Tester's Opinion (summary)
Superb, buy one!!
6. Star Rating
I give this 5 Stars.... .
1 star = piece of crap
2 star = maybe I should have done more research before buying this?
3 star = decent bit of kit for the money
4 star = better than expected with some nice extras/features
5 star = does it have a sister I can marry?! (aka I will buy this again!)
