Lowering foot pegs - maxredline - 06-17-2022
I bought the Suburban Machine lowering pegs for the RS
Suburban Machinery
The right side has a lowering block that lowers and extends the whole brake assembly.
The right side lowers and extends the peg in relation to the shifter.
I have found the shifter being slightly inboard to the peg does not affect my shifting with no need for a shifter extension but an adjustment was needed.
I am liking the more relaxed feel on my knees though I did go up on the seat height to the standard seat.
The only negative is that the pegs do stick out a bit more and when I am trying to move the bike forward or backward while sitting
on the bike. The pegs tend to get in the way and have to be conscience to that or you could trip and drop the bike in the right circumstances.

I have the SW Motech lowering kit which includes new foot pegs. I haven't experienced any of the effects you mention. They lowered the pegs about 1/2 inch and moved them forward a bit.

If you are using the lower seat you probably would not have issues catching the pegs. Go up to standard seat height or higher and that could change things depending on you inseam.

I switched from the low seat to a Sargent seat and it's still ok for me. However, as far as I can tell the Sargent seat isn't quite as tall as the standard BMW seat.
