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:
