@ed: shouldn't be a problem - I only ride like that on the hornet Having said that, I'd rather touch up some paint than high side cause the footpeg didn't give... Everything's pointing to ignoring it and leaving things as is.
@scirocco: I'd love to! But the bike isn't ready to be ridden I'm still at the stage where every imperfection annoys the hell out of me :pinch:

The milk jug washers are worth a try. If they fail I'd give up.
BTW, the E pegs are more rearward than the H pegs if that's something that interests you. Pretty sure they are a direct bolt on.

I agree with you on giving up after trying nylon washers.
Definitely want to keep the H riding position. If anything, I'd like them further forward

Related to the riding position. Did you keep the stock handlebars? Asking because my 650-CSR probably had the same bars & they were too narrow for my liking. So I got a set of Flanders BMW Med Street bars which are kind of like Ltd bars but wider than the stock CSR/Ltd handlebars. After those, I installed Emgo Euro bars & plan on installing superbike bars now that I've updated the Fr brake mc.

Yeah, kept the stock bars. Got the chrome redone for about $60 and now they look pretty much new. I actually quite like the narrow bars (once you get used to the feeling that you're trimming a hedge). It's a nice contrast to the very wide street bars on my daily rider (2012 hornet).
