Foot Pegs
Anybody have or try the Touratech works footpegs or their extended ( wider ) pegs? Thinking about the "works" low pegs.
I have a 31" inseam, after a couple hours slabbing my knees start to complain.. also looking for a wider platform for standing. |

Gotta try...
Quote:
The extra comfort while standing on the pegs made for a lighter touch on the bars (throttle) giving some extra confidence through the slow technical stuff. There is a noticeable decreased knee bend while sitting too. I run hwy pegs on my crash bars and floating my feet between the two on longer rides keeps the blood flowing well. Have yet to scrape them cornering in the twisties.

They may not be any lower than stock, but the PivotPegz are nice and wide and allow your foot to rotate forward and backward..

For what it's worth, I absolutely love the pivot pegs on my WR250R. They are super comfortable and durable. When it's wet or muddy the stock pegs on my F800GS (without rubber of course) feel slippy but I never have a problem with the pivot pegs on my WR250R.

brake pedal adjustment?
I am about to order the Precision Engineering pegs but want to ask if the brake pedal can be adjusted or does it need to be to suit the 2 inch peg drop?

Not necessary for me...
Quote:
Prior to installing the 2 inch drop pegs I had bent my brake pedal outwards and would step on the top point of the left vertical triangle on the brake pedal. This is while standing. I found that after the install of the pegs I was able to more comfortably and accurately use the regular flat part of the pedal. Can't say I've thought about how it effected pedal use while sitting - so I guess that's a positive. I did end up moving the shifter one spline lower. I love these pegs. Huge difference all around.
