Has anyone here Found a way to rubber mount the Foot pegs on these bikes?

My other half and I ride a fair amount of freeway (~75mph), and the Gs foot pegs get pretty buzzy at that speed/rpm.
My Yamaha Fz6 has rubber mounted foot pegs, and it really takes alot of vibration out of your feet. Especially when you're booking down the freeway for a few hours.

Maybe other solutions/ suggestions for this?

Thanks Forum!

You're both wearing proper motorcycle boots with nice thick soles, right? If not, that's your easiest solution right there.

Ride it like a 2 stroke:
1: Rev high
2: Add oil
3: Repeat

Can you define "rubber mounted" foot pegs?  The stock GS pegs have a whole lot of rubber on top of the peg already.  If you don't have stock pegs and they are solid metal then you might consider going back to stock.  I'm assuming you don't mean that though.  Can you provide a picture of how the FZ6 pegs are "rubber mounted"?

Where the rear sets bolt to the frame, its actually bolted down through a rubber bushing. It takes a good bit of vibration out of things.
