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 ImpressionsQuality engineering and a quality powder coated finish and the kit came will all the required parts including a replacement split pin for the back brake lever (nice touch)
2. Initial Setup/InstallationThe 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.) <!-- s:shy: -->

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 <!-- s:thumb: -->

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.
