General topics » SW-Motech Pegs

All,

Well, the gods finally aligned the planets and allowed a rare shipment of SW-Motech pegs to North America. In any case, I wanted a wider peg (fore-aft distance) and was also curious about the potential for lowering. All of my prior bikes (early generation K's and oilhead's) had the big rectangular footpeg rubbers, so these itty-bitty racer-boy pegs seemed wrong. So, here are some pics. Mounted in the upper (std height) position, the SW-Motech units are wider, but the total outreach is nominally the same, 5" or 130mm. The SW curb feeler might be a bit more (1/4") outboard, but the angle is definitely different. The length of the SW-Motech rubber is obviously shorter.

When the weather improves, I'll take the bike for a test ride.

Great! How to get the spring in place??? The genuine 36654 mystery tool........2" C-Clamp with Zip-Tie head (collar) as offset point to properly position spring. Shown during install of right-hand peg.Left Side - Point 3 - Magic Tool.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

So, with the spring in place, drive the clevis pin into position and re-install the c-clip.Left Side - Point 4 - Pin In Place.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

The right-hand side install is the same, but you'll have to deal with the rear brake lever pivot that some lowlife engineer placed under the footpeg mount.Right side - Point 8 - Rear Brake Pivot Challenge.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Do these feel any lower?

There's two mounting positions. The second position sets the peg 15MM (9/16-inch) lower

We have these on both our RS's. We used the upper mount, which places the pegs a little lower than OEM.

If you're an aggressive rider, you'll find the feelers a bit earlier. Or, so says my wife.

I think I shared this pictures here on the forum already. Sisa (my darling riding her RS) complained at the beginning on not comfortable knee angle on her bike. With SW Motech pegs, in lower position and riding without rubber top she is perfectly fine.

Kebo,

Does Sisa feel any difference in vibration without the rubber insert?

I installed these pegs on my 2016 R1200RS and I have them in the lower position. I did not notice a big difference with regard to the lower position. I mainly bought them because the smaller stock pegs would cause a burning sensation on the soles of my feet after an hour or two due to the pressure. These pegs have more surface area and did help quite a bit with that problem.

I like the broader support beneath the foot. However, the relatively stiff rubber insert does transmit more vibration. I'm good with the peg mounted in the normal height position.

How are you doing with the Puig units?

I have these pegs. They are MUCH better then the stockers. I do remember wanting to eat a gun on the one side install. Worth it tho.

One measurement I haven't seen from anyone yet. Is there a reduction in the distance between the front surface of the SW peg and the shift lever? Specifically in the highest position.
