do the same alterations apply to the twinshock? i was thinking of 1.5" back and

2" down,what do you think?

A handy way to modify the peg mounts on the Yam framed Majesty is to use bolt on plates like the TY175. You can do this by cutting off the footpeg mount which leaves the round lug on the frame. Drill and tap it to take a bolt. Underneath the footrest is the bottom tube that runs accross the frame at the rear of the bashplate. This can also be modified to take a bolt. Then fabricate a plate using these two bolt holes to mount it. The new footrest hanger can be bolted onto the plate, varying the position until you are happy with it, then it can be welded into place. This saves welding new plates directly to the frame and makes it easier to experiment. On my Godden framed bike I must have moved the rests half a dozen times or more to find the best position, each time having to grind off and re-weld the mounts - real pain. The bolt on method would have made this much more simple I think.

How low you go is personal preference depending on how tall you are I guess. Being tall, I have mine slightly lower than the bashplate to get a comfortable standing position as the bikes are so high. As they have loads of ground clearance (stand it next to a modern bike...) they shouldn't snag. I'd be careful of how far back you go with them though as it will become very light on the front if you go too far, especially if it is a 320. No use measuring my positioning for you though as in addition to being the different frame, I've also altered the steering and fitted a longer swingarm, so it would give a different feel from yours.
