Marcel, Looks like you don't need the peg-lowering kit but a peg-raising kit instead

By the way, replaced the thumbnail with the larger version of the picture - hope you don't mind.
 
Thanks LR, I usually mount this horse karate kick style on good days, on bad days I need a hand to swing the right leg over the saddle.
Fact is that I am 1.93 meter tall and the Japanese engineers did not really consider this as average lenght to locate pegs and controls.

Another fact is that the locals will have a hard time riding it as their feet cannot reach the lowered pegs, so no easy way to steal it :-)
 
Reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad bought me a bike that was too big for me and put Wooden blocks a on the peddles and told me I would grow into it :-)

Nice bike buy the way
 
My first experience with a bike was with the BSA B33 of my dad, when I was 6 my mum and dad took me on a trip on this old thumper from Holland to former Jugoslavia, sitting in the middle, so 3 up :-)......
44 years ago in Europe, so 3 up is not exclusive Thai style :-)
