low footrests

[pitrat101]

Hi guys, got low seat on 2012 triple black but find knees a bit too high, anyone know if the gold coloured LC BMW adjustable pegs fit the TC? if not any other recommended products?

I cant answer your question, but can recommend Fastaway footpegs (Nippy Norman can supply). These are about 20mm lower and really nicely made, would probably outlast the bike!

Got some SWMotech ones. Fit in 2 positions and lower just takes a bit of the bend from your knees. Can use with or without rubber pads and easy fit.

I would second the SW Motech pegs, very well made and very comfortable on long rides. I set mine in the lower position, less ache in the knees.

Diplomatic Danny on this site had some beautifully engineered lowered pegs on his previous GSA which he bought at Bahnstormer for about £160 IIRC. Unfortunately I have no idea what brand they were, but they looked the Bollox.

I have similar knee-pinching issues with my GSA and a stock Sargent seat and have promised myself new lowed pegs before my next European tour in late April.

I had fastways on my first early version 1200GS but sold them years ago.

Just back from a couple of thousand kilometres in France. I had awful trouble with knee pain. My seat is modified to be a low one (standard seat but sculpted by an upholsterer)

If I don't change to a Super Ten next year, it's a set of these lower pegs for me!

Do these SW Motech pegs for the GSA or only the GS (conflicting views in the Internet from what I can see ..)?

 

[Ted]

Would think that as standard GS/GSA are interchangeable the SW motech ones will fit both as well

They also fit my F650gs. It looks like BMW use common pegs through a lot of the range.

With the pegs being lower do they affect the use of the gear lever or rear brake?

Highway pegs - that's what you need!

I found lowering the pegs made it a bit more difficult to change down the gears. I put an adjustable gear lever on and solved the problem. Couldnt use the stock
gear lever as putting it down a few on the splines ment it hit the side stand bracket.
Brake pedal had enough adjustment to compensate for the lower pegs.
But to be honest every rider is different so its a bit suck it and see.
