Oh, good point there. Yes its for when I stand up on gravel roads, but wider foot pegs would help too, would make it more comfortable.

If you get your feet lower than the skidframe and you do some offroading or TT or like some little adventure from now and then I really suggest you NOT to lower your footpegs.

Guess why?

You can get your feet caught in some branches or bushes or even a big rock that could smash your foot easily!

Instead of this.. I suggest you to increase the seat height!
add some foam or gel or whatever and use that instead of lowering your footpegs...


Or is it for anyother purpose such as you liking to ride standing up?

I don't know if those will fit...

The models listed before that fit are the TW200 footpegs!

TW200 seems to be the magic model thrown about for getting matching pegs.

Thanks guys. The only TW200 one I seem to be able to find are from the USA on ebay, and the delivery costs more than the footrest!

Ask the seller of the TW200 footpegs on the previous link if he has any TW200 footpegs still in stock or when will he have them!

I've sorted a few things off ebay just by asking them

If you can't find them on eBay, D2 moto has them for a little bit more. They look exactly the same as far as I can tell:

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
