interesting, I understand Yamaha themselves moved the pegs forward in '86, not sure how much. Since I've got a 95 mine are already more forward then your 84 used to be. Pics are great if you feel like it. Maybe a straight on profile from down low will give the best idea of position. I'd like to do something different for this next season and forward controls are looking good.

I've studied those quite a bit.  Is it accurate that they are about
2.5 inches further forward then stock and about 1/3" lower?

Saw these mentioned over at ViragoTech.  Anyone know of them?
Wondering how and where exactly they mount.

Have to click on "foot" then "high forward", T-town, or other model.
