My max found
While I have never done the math, and I admire the curious thinking of the OP to actually do it, I did field-testing today, going to meet a friend for breakfast. I don't have feeler pegs on my KTM and they sit higher than the FZ-1 (pretty sure, but I will measure), I dragged my boot on a overpass corner (cloverleaf style exit). I have never before touched a boot down and was a bit taken aback by the sensation. I wasn't trying to get really low or go extremely fast for that matter, I run knobbies after all, and had the balls of my feet squarely on the pegs. I was concentrating on being smooth, looking through the corner and was not leaning off, keeping my knees in tight. It was a right hand-er and being right handed they have always felt more comfortable, but it still surprised me that I was that far over. Might have to up the rear preload a tad.
