Got my F800GS over the weekend and I immediately disliked the footpegs (and the seat...). As I had a spare set of pegs from my KTM 690 RR, I thought I would swop.
Guess which is which.
First I measured the space that the KTM pegs needed to fit into.
I then ground down the raised platforms top and bottom
This is what I was left with:
Once that was done, I cut a sleeve from an old pencil type tyre pressure gauge. The
BMW pin was too narrow. Sorry, I could not find my phone during this step :biggrin:
You then test fit the whole kaboodle to determine where the peg stop must be located.
Drill a 6mm hole into the footpeg bracket.
The left and right brackets are assymetrical. In the left side, I used a bolt to spread the
load through its head, as it gets turned in completely.
On the right side, I used an allen bolt to limit leverage, as it gets turned out quite a bit. I had
to use nuts on both sides of the bracket to space it out far enough.
Left side:
I opened up one end of the KTM spring to fit into the stock hole. Afterwards I thought that I
should have used the BMW springs, as they might work without modifications. But I did not...
And this is the result:
