Pillion footrest lowering. R1100GS

[LawrenceMark]

Has anyone found a way of lowering the pillion footrest on a 99 R1100GS.
Just back from a trip to Europe.
Saw some fitted to a 1200 GS.
Got me thinking they would make my wife more comfortable on the back.

…or stick a cushion under her backside to get the same result?

It's not so much the sitting,.........

it's the getting on.

With a combined age of 155 for bike, rider, and pillion we need all the help we can get.

Ah… ‘Comfort’ was what you said first, but I can empathise and certainly understand your point… It’s 78yrs just for me and my 1150

Lowering the pegs to get aboard could create comfort issues when riding though (unintended consequences?)

Hope you get sorted somehow.

I made a pair of adapters to lower the pillion pegs, I'll see if I still have them as no longer have the bike.

Appreciate that. Thanks.

I had them in my last 1200 and they are now on my current 1250gsa, my wife is 5'4" and awaiting a new knee and they mean she can get on the bike far more easily and once on is far more comfortable (mind you the dismount can be a bit comedic)
Sure Wunderlich still do them for the older models
