BMW adjustable footrest

[Sharpedge]

I know the vibrating peg issue has been done to death but I am suffering with it on my 4hr weekly commute (2016 GSA 3K mi on the clock). Feet get pins and needles after about 20 min and I keep having to change foot position every 5 min. There is no bespoke rubber component for the GSA pegs and I like the idea of the spring loaded adjustable BMW pegs. They are a little more expensive than I thought they would be but have no qualms paying if the product is worth it. 195Euro from motorrad online or £172 from local motorrad shop.

If you have a set can you let me know if they stop some of the vibration from the frame?

Not at all I'm afraid. I bought them for the same reason when I had a GSA and although there is a rubber insert the spiked metal housing zones right up to the level of the insert at the front. Unless you have your feet totally flat on the peg you're actually resting on the serrated metal edge. They are height adjustable but made no difference so I sold them.

Dumb question maybe as I haven't even looked at the pegs but can't you just swap them for a pair of bogo GS ones ? No vibes on them

 

[Sharpedge]

I could do but I like the wider size of the stock pegs.

Rode my GSA up to get serviced and took out a standard GS with narrow rubber pegs, less vibrations and a nicer footrest position

I have the Pivot Pegs on mine with the rubber touring tops on

There nice and wide plus they Pivot, great for when you have MX boots on

I have a spare pair of standard GS-LC comfort pegs with the rubber inserts in good nick, complete with pins and springs that I'd be happy to swop for your standard GSA all metal items.

I had them on my GSA for improved comfort, but I'm getting my new T/Black GS next week with the comfort (rubber) pegs fitted as standard so these are now surplus to requirements.

I thought I saw a post on here from someone that had purchased some footpeg rubbers for the GSA. Or did I dream it?

I have the BMW Enduro pegs and like them a lot. I stand up frequently on long rides to stretch and the stock pegs are too thin.

The enduro pegs work better for vibration for me.

You're not dreaming. I found that thread when searching for the very same thing. I think motorworks do them and they're something like F700GS wide enduro rubber inserts that just so happen to fit the standard GSA pegs. My dealer was useless and couldn't find anything in the official BMW parts fiche. Hence why I bought the fancy adjustable pegs... ho hum.

Part number 4.

I spoke with my dealer about the part listed above. With the rubbers, bolts, spacers and washers the all up cost is approx £60. Is the cost next to the item for the set of two rubbers or 4 nuts or is it an indication of the price per item of which 2 or 4 are required?

Price each, I believe.

Check your boots, I was surprised to see how much my GSA-LC toothed pegs have gouged into the instep of my Daytona booties in just 8 months of riding!

Another good reason for fitting the rubber insert.... although the crocodile tooth pegs do look the part!

I'm pretty sure these won't fit an LC.

This might be an option though (second item down) - but make sure you specify they are for a GSA rather than just GS: http://www.bmwgsemotion.com/accinglc2.html
