I went to install the lowering pegs but could not get the brake rod to detach. I eventually took a dremel and ground down the rod while on the bike. I found some pics that motorcyclelarry.com had on his website to install his lowering brackets but my '12 looks a little different. Any suggestions getting the rod out? I need to grind a little more and I would prefer to do it off the bike.

Well the pegs have been installed and I used a dremmel tool and a 1/2 inch grinding wheel to shave down the brake rod with the rod still in place. I still can take a little more off if I wanted the brake pedal position below the level of where the foot is if placed flat on peg. As it stands there is plenty of room for the foot. I have not spent much time with them but seem to allow a more relaxed riding position and it is really noticeable in my hips. The foot pegs seem to be less 'in the way ' when stopping. They seem to be a KEEPER.

Not to a smart alleck, but did you loosen the locking nut?

What locking nut? I loosened the nut that holds the U at the one end of the rod. On the other end is a rubber boot but did not peal that boot back. My initial frustration is with a product being sold with not good clear instructions on how to install. If you can provide help in doing so we would all benefit.
