Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there was a way to give my passenger a more relaxed ride? My foot pegs are dropped down an inch. Is there any thing I can do for my 6' tall girlfriend? Any after market pegs would be good, or will another set like what I have work on the back?

You can reverse the passenger peg hangars. Moves them forward and down as I recall.

Good advice! I said once before on this topic, I tried longer peg mounts on the rear of mine and had a problem with them rubbing on the swing arm. Just an FYI.

I believe the lower S front pegs will fit on the back if that's not what you mean by "your" pegs being an inch lower. They won't "snap" into place up or down though as they don't have the latch ball and spring.
I've wanted lower rear pegs also for reasons other than a passenger and I've not found any.

longer bolts and spacers
go to a jeep shop and ask for a 1" XJ transfercase drop kit. It'l be spacers and bolts. throw the bolts in a drawer they may come in handy but thewre will be 4 spacers.
or have some made at a machine shop. that'd be cheaper in all senses but not everyone has a machine shop at hand.

Not a bad idea for an S model and a passenger!
But not for me as I failed to mention that I wanted to lower the rear pegs on a Uly with the bag brackets that bolt to the back of rear peg mounts. Sadly I need pegs with a 2" offset or more. And a slightly different angle of offset than the S pegs would be better too. I'll figure something out or make do.

that is a good plan. the fact that she doesn't ride often will keep the miles off the bike. another option is what i do, just take off the passenger pegs and leave her home.
