Ken H. Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 After our just finished 6100 mile trip, Donna is clamoring for better pillion pegs. Anyone know of Fastway or similar wide pegs for the pillion position on the '05-'06 R1200GS? (The mount in the rear is narrower than in the front.) Link to comment

wrestleantares Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Do you want to lower them as well? http://www.suburban-machinery.com/R1200GS2.html Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ken, What was Donna's issue with the existing pegs? Link to comment

Ken H. Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ken, What was Donna's issue with the existing pegs? Too slippery, especially when wet, riding in the rain. She thinks in particular some of her mount and dismount smoothness is adversely effected by her riding boots slipping on the OEM rubber pegs at the most inopportune times. Link to comment

First the seat, then the backrest, now this......Gotta love her!!! Link to comment

Well any S.O. that is willing to embark on a 6000 mile plus motorcycle trip as a pillion, I'm not about to complain about, right? A happy pillion a happy rider makes. $115 for new pillion pegs? Money well spent IMHO. BTW, we sure missed you two at the UN this year. Link to comment
