Title: GS pegs
Post by: andwr on May 09, 2006, 02:08:58 PM
hey guys, was just wondering if you can change the foot pegs on the GS's, i dont really like the look of those big clumpy ones. i havent seen any of your pics on here with different pegs on. if anyone has got different pegs, then can you post a pic of your bike so i can see what they look like

Thanks guys 'n' gals

Andy

You can try this place too they used to have the GS500 footpegs listed but I don't see them now  Maybe give them a call they are in the UK.

If you search "pegs" you get 17 pages.  Wow.  I just pulled up this one thread: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=9101.0

'Footpegs' would yield fewer pages.

Andy,

I recently replaced my pegs with CBR pegs (both front and rear). But I have an extra pair if you want them. They're identical to the set on Pablo's page. I'll only ask for shipping since I have no use for them.

Cheers for the offer though

Andy,

thats cool. AlphaFire asked first for them if you declined......so they're going to a good home.

AlphaFire,

i actually have to 2 lefts and one right. did you want all 3 pegs or just a matching pair?

Nah, it's cool.  Alpha and I had a long talk and he agree'd that I deserve the pegs way more than he does.

I'll take all 3, find one more and change out the pegs all the way around.

i actually started with 6 complete sets that i bought from ebay in bundle. it was advertised as "assorted CBR pegs" but it turn out only 3 pairs were really from CBRs. one from the bundle looked like a brake/shift lever and had aprilla stamped on it. $30 for everything plus shipping. i figured the extra CBR set would come in handy if i messed up while grinding. i ended up making a template out of the stock pegs and overlayed that on the replacements. i marked off the area to be cut/grinded off leaving a little room for error. it turned out fine. i may have to grind a little off to fit a washer in to tighten things up. the only other problem is my center stand sits higher than the front pegs now since i replaced the stock exhaust with a wileyco. thats my story and how Alpha got my left over pegs.  :thumb:

just thinking the same thing... I checked with my local suzuki dealer and he told me that all suzuki pegs front abd rear are all interchangeable  :2guns:
