Nice job, do you have them on the riders as well?

[TALLMAN]

I'll pas Taz, I like a rubber foot peg, not a fan of bare metal.
Let us know how you get on with them T Man.

Received fom TAZ & fitted but I cant try them yet as the bike is undergoing general maintenance at the mo but TAZ can tell you his thoughts on them as we are both similar in size 6'5" - 6'6"

I can see the missus would be happy with extenders on the passenger pegs, but as for the riders pegs - they are low enough already to be a pain when cranked over a bit, I cannot imagine them being any lower !

I'm not that guy.

I'm a bit old and sore in the knees. Very interested in this idea, especially the following:

Part Numbers are as N0006.1AD is a kit, specifically a pair of XB footpegs.

+ N0520.1AD FOOTPEG ASSEMBLY, RIDER, LH,
+ N0521.1AD FOOTPEG ASSEMBLY, RIDER, RH,

The fitting and modifications are no drama as I enjoy tinkering.

Now I've done the google search and it seems they are overseas etc (I'm Brisbane) and the postage is more than the product. Sucks.

Before I decide to even pull the trigger, are there any here in Aussie that people know about or is anyone overseas heading down under soon?

^ What him said ! ^
The Buell peg mod is quite common on the Hayabusa and B-Kings but the pegs on the GSX14 already touch down easier than either of those.

anyone anymore info on these footrests??? another option

[daveh]

I gave up in the end, I could not see how the peg would clear the gear lever pivot, I think it was sitting here in the lounge trying to visualise it.
I've since started doing 20 squats each day as well as trying to drop my arse to the floor with my feet flat on the ground, as a stretch.
It's taking time but seems to be helping.
It was pointed out to me that when we have trouble with things we try to change everything but ourselves,
and that in reality it's only ourselves we have any control over.
It's a work in progress.😳

I had a good look at the bike today
A lowered peg will found the sidestand

I just had a look at mine.
When my side stand is up its right up under the stock L/H peg already.

[daveh]

I knew it was something.

OK, I get the picture.

I'm too old for squats.

But I love the bike.

Maybe knee surgery!

I'll have to rethink this.

[saggy0000]

do not have knee surgery in my oppinion, i am totaly f/broken on my right leg following a full rep, i had a partial rep on my left ,thats fine, but the full after 50 miles goes dead cant use the rear brake, NOT GOOD ON A FAT 14???. thats just my oppinion,

[gsxbarmy]

I agree that as standard IMO the 14 is not generally a good riding position - tried everything on mine to improve it to no avail due to my back and neck issues and operations - hence why I now have a Triumph Explorer which has a much better and comfortable riding position - for me. Didn't want to sell my 14, as absolutely loved it, but it was either be crippled over time or sell the 14 and buy a machine which would not cause me issues. With the Tex, I don't even have to wear a back brace now, that's how much better it worked out for me.

Wife has knee issues, and has found the better pillion riding position of the Tex suits her also over the 14.

The 14 is a great bike, but for me, and on the advice of my consultant, I had 2 choices. Stop riding completely or sell the 14 and get something more appropriate to my medical condition. Either way meant selling my beloved 14, but I now have a new lease of life enjoying riding bikes again, and have done more miles in the last 9 months than in the last 5 years with my 14.

How old are you, I'm 51 this year.
You don't have to do a million, start with five, work up slowly.
