Just had these back from a pal of mine who machined them out for me, yet to try the bike out, any thoughts? My first reaction was how much more 'in' the bike you feel rather than perched on top of it.

Nice job, is that from a block of stainless steel ?

Nice job. Be interested to see what you think of the new riding position. I have been trying different positions for my Majesty footrests and have finally settled on virtually the original placing forwards/rearwards but lowered by about 1 and a half to two inches (I hope anyway as I'm fed up of grinding them off and welding them back on). I had them about 2" rearwards at one point but found it upset the steering so gradually came forwards with them until it felt ok again. With them lowered though it is definitely more comfortable for me as I am about 6' 3" so as you have found, with them lowered you stand in it more rather than on it. Be interested to see if it has any affect on the way yours steers though.

I found modding a pair of Sherco pegs did the trick for me, just a little lower and further back, all I had to do was grind a bit off the back of the peg.

Its not stainless but a very high grade of aircraft quality steel, the friend who made them does a lot of machining for the aero space industry. I think he is in the process of redesigning the Scorpa water pump to make it less vunerable.

I wanted to alter the position of the pegs without resorting to cuting and welding. My 200 is totally original and i wanted to be able to revert to that in the future.

All depends how tall you are though, Fantic pegs are still too high for me as are most twinshocks and early monos.

i think you are dead right, most of the guys i see doing well on 200/240's have moved their footrests. And it all comes down to personal prefrence at te end of the day. If it does not feel right then i can put it all back to original.

200's also benefit a great deal from having a hydrualic clutch fitted, and this is something that really does work extremely well, and can be removed if you want to change bikes.

Finally the major thing that will make the difference between having a Fantic that is perhaps the most competitive t/shock bike available, and something pretty average, is how the motor runs, and the fine tuning of suspension etc.

Would you advise against lengthening the clutch arm? as this would be considerably cheaper than a hydraulic clutch? or not??

I have ridden a couple of 200's with reed valves fitted ( keith Horsham) these are nice, have you tried one? gives a very smooth engine on pick up.
