Except for the spring replacement, which was a copper-plated pig to put on.Doctor T wrote: Wed May 20, 2026 2:18 pm Ive Aliexpress on my RT. They work without any fitting problems

Re: Footrest lowering
Me too, No difficult problems.You may want to enlarge your brake and shift control levers/pedals. Just about all the lowering kits move the pegs further out and those pedals feel like they get smaller

Re: Footrest lowering
I've got a chinese set on my 2012 twincam. All works very well and has really helped my knees. Fitting was straightforward except for wrecking one of the original pins getting it out, so had to replace with a new one. They are very soft stainless steel - heat was required.

There's a trick to the spring. Put a screwdriver through the center of the spring and slide.Steve398 wrote: Wed May 20, 2026 6:52 pm Except for the spring replacement, which was a copper-plated pig to put on.
My kit, as i said, came from China, but the destruction was a copy of Wundelic with the name blanked out. This was the same with the f & R crash bars i bought.
Makes you wonder where these expensive parts are really made. I've had the same brake levers, sat nat mountings etc
