Anyone found lowered footpegs that fit the V100?

I would like a little more room for my knees. Anyone found lowered pegs that will fit the V100? Knight design makes them for Aprilia and other Guzzi models, but not yet for V100. I suspect they will fit, but nobody published dimensions on their sites. Looks like a 22-23mm clevis width?

Something like these on Ebay ebay.com/itm/224532462509
 
German site for Moto Verholen has a kit for 40 mm drop, uses the stock pegs with kit for the toe pegs, kinda spendy. I've used some of their products in the past, excellent quality.
 
SW Motech has released a replacement footpeg kit that allows the pegs to be mounted 15 mm lower than stock
 
I installed the Moto Verholen pegs and lever set on my Mandello. Easily done. Nice, quality professional product.

I have these. The only downside is they are further out from the bike, so you have to angle your foot inwards for gear & brake levers. You get used to it.
 
Maybe with my 34” inseam and size 13 feet I didn’t notice this as an issue at all. I did find the lowered pegs made my bike more comfortable for me. Of course I can’t speak for anyone else. These pegs also feature a small range of adjustment.
 
Pull up next to a GL1800 Goldwing and see if they look like they will fit. Less than $50 on the aftermarket. You just need to bend the springs a bit. I have thm on my 17 v7III and both v85's. They are about 10MM drop.
 
I put the Knight Design/Crosstrax lowering pegs on mine, I think you gain about an inch of legroom. They have different lengths, I put on the 25mm lowering ones and had no trouble interfering with the kick stand or anything.
 
I have noticed that it is a bit of an effort to get the toe of my boot under the shifter. I'm only 5' 9", so legroom isn't an issue, but I wonder if a lowered peg would make it easier to get my boot under the shifter?

I had the same issue with the shifter being lower than I prefer, even when I adjusted it to its highest location. Instead of lowered footpeg, I bought an extended toe peg that gave my foot more room and works well for me. If you search the GTM website for 'GT long eccentric Folding Toe Peg,' you'll find the one that Todd sells.
