Just got these from AliExpress for my 2023 GSA for under £40
AliExpress footpegs
I have a Rallye and chose the ‘Titanium’ finish. The rubber inserts are on a spring loaded plate so when you stand up it sinks down and two spikes engage with your boot better. Obviously not as grippy as the OEM but still good enough for Tescos. Seem really well put together and have 10mm of up and down adjustment

Looking at the web site pictures it looks like the height adjustment screw that secures the foot peg is tiny. Are you going to trust these standing up under full weight pressure? How do you know these won't break, they look very sketchy

I looked at actual pegs and the two top screws you can see are M6 and don’t take the full weight. Underneath is an M8 countersunk bolt that takes your weight. I’m happy that my weight spread over two m8 A2-70 stainless bolts is not going to exceed the minimum 400N/mm2 tensile strength. Not sure what the shear strength is but I’m confident I won’t exceed it.
 
I have the BMW (Option 719) adjustable HP billet pegs and shift/brake pedals like these on my GSA HP, they have a Gilles emblem engraved on them. They came with the bike when purchased.

Note that these are an improved design over the original BMW billet pegs which were recalled by BMW due to cracking of the alloy at the bolt holes. Bahnstormer had a cracked foot peg on display on their service desk.

If you are fitting these identical Chinese billet copies, I’d suggest maybe you inspect them regularly for any cracking.
 
Just for info, these adjustable pegs from AliExpress are just that “adjustable”. They will not be lower than standard factory pegs. They do look similar to the BMW ones but don’t lower.
