Foot pegs
Hi guys, I'm a newbie here. I just picked up a 2009 R1200RT in great condition. My problem is the foot pegs are way to short for my size 15 boot. I have searched Google and all I can find is lowered pegs. Does anyone know where I can get wider pegs? Thanks

A warm welcome. I've moved your question to the General discussion section for a better response.

Re: Foot pegs
check out Wunderlich and Illium Works. both make extenders for brake and shift levers. Not sure ive seen anyone making extenders for the basic foot pegs

Re: Foot pegs
Lower foot pegs also push the hinge of the footrest out by about an inch which combined with the lower position personally I find much more comfortable. The downside is you've got to move your foot more to use the controls. With the gear lever this doesn't seem to be a problem, but I never felt the brake lever was in the right place and ended up buying an enlarger. Mine is a '18 R1250RT but looking at the photos of the kits available for a '12 1200, they seem to use the same offset design so I think the wide bit still applies.
The footrest lowering kit I used I bought off Amazon UK for £50.00 Being blunt, it's every bit as good as the one made by that well known German manufacturer. I'm sure Amazon USA will have the same thing available.

Re: Foot pegs
I agree with those comments about the foot peg lowering kits. I was looking today at a way of shortening the foot pegs neatly because they keep banging my ankles every time I stop.

Re: Foot pegs
I couldn't find any shorter pegs that would do the trick and am shocked at the cost of secondhand ones. Far too expensive to play around cutting them down. I removed the "hero blobs" today which makes it decidedly less uncomfortable every time they scrape the back of my legs.
