how much can you lower thepegs. I have been having hip problems and if those pegs can come down a little on my gsxr750 then I would be ok.any ideas or custome ideas.

Depends on how hard you corner. You can lower them to 2" off the ground if you're willing to ride it like a chopper.

Seriously, that's your limiting factor -- at what point your pegs drag on the ground given the riding that you do.

If you're tall enough for it not to be a problem, you might go the other way and think about raising/padding the seat an inch or two instead.

"Rearsets" generally do the opposite of what you are wanting -- they bring the pegs up and back, creating a *more* acute leg angle for *increased* cornering clearance.

You'll probably just have to find a local machinist and have him make you a couple of adapter plates to relocate the pegs. You will also have to reposition your brake and shift levers (at a minimum) and may have to find or make some that are a different length to fit where your pegs move to.
