I learn something new every time I log on.  ;)

NVD just wanted to mention the trifecta in a single thread - goal achieved.

I bought a pair of the adjustable pegs and the levers. The pegs wouldn't fit. I was told by TEC that three or four others had the same problem and blamed Royal Enfield's quality control.

Ok, so I rode out to New Hope, PA this weekend for a little overnight. It's about 70 miles each way. I had the pegs up a notch from where they were on initial install. That places them at stock height vertically, but 2 cm forward from stock. As I suspected, that little lift in the knees rolls the pelvis back and I felt the seat pressure much more comfortably on my sits bones. Unfortunately, I dislike where my feet contact the pegs and the pegs are back into shin splitting position when reverse walking the bike. It's amazing what 2 cm will do! Haha.

I'm going to keep the pegs where they are for a while more and see how I get on. Long ride seat comfort is more important than perfect foot positioning. I think I can adapt to the foot feel much more than I can make do with that perineum pressure. Ideally, I'll follow NV's advice and have the center channel carved into the seat foam in the off season. I love the look of the stock seat and just haven't seen anything aftermarket that hits comfort while maintaining the style I want.

Concerning the OEM footpegs/controls: I did not like the rather low position of the gearshift lever and adjusted it higher. Pretty simple process. Can the same be done with the brake lever? There seems to be a locknut on the linkage but no adjustment mechanism. Any insights?

The brake lever can be adjusted, but slightly different procedure than the shift lever.

Easy as pie.  10 mm spanner I think to undo the locknut, spin the threaded link by hand, watch the pedal rise, tighten the locknut.  I was disappointed because I wanted some work to do on the bike and this took like 30 s.

I have the same problem with the rear brake lever being far too low, it gives me cramps every time I brake ! But you must be talking about the Conti GT, not  the Interceptor, right ?
Because I don't understand how the lever can be moved up, cannot see no threaded link ...  :-\

Exactly that was my issue also, the mechanism is not obvious. So, you loosen the locknut with a 10mm wrench and then twist the small metal link which goes towards the master cylinder through a small rubber sleeve and observe which way the pedal moves. This can easily be done with two fingers. Good luck.

TEC shows how to adjust the brake and shift levers in their video on their foot pegs.  I didn’t catch it until I watched it again.

The threaded adjustment goes straight into the MC.

It's possible you may have to pull the little rubber boot up to see it.

I had thought of the Conti GT which has this kind of rear control with adjustment by nut / against nut on a threaded rod for the gear selector, I was focused on it so I was not curious enough.
Thank you very much for the pic, it didn't take a minute for so much more comfort!
