I recently installed the SW-Motech Ion footpegs found here at Twisted Throttle: https://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motec...6-r1200rs-15-16

They were a fairly straightforward swap, a little fiddly with the springs but with a C clamp it was an easy enough install. I initially put them in the high position but after riding with them moved them down to the lower position. Very comfortable, easier to stand up on. I'm keeping the rubber on them, you can take it off to have a shin-buster peg! The rubber adds a few more MM to the height. At the top position I felt like the brake lever was a little low, with them on the lower position it feels perfect.|addpics|mek-1-539b.jpg|/addpics|

I have these on my '16. Agreed that the low position is more comfortable...the wide width of these pegs helps, also. Just right.

This looks very interesting. Decent price and with some lowering and under-foot stability. Also, SW-Motech stuff is good.

Wait. You have pedals on your bike? I don't ever recall being able to knee on the pegs to hurt my shins, though I've knocked my shin when not clipped to bicycle pedals.

Maybe it's from my time in the dirt - as long as I am not barefoot, I have never understood the purpose of an additional layer of rubber beyond that on my boots (or sometimes, sandals).

But, nice looking platform pegs.
