I have been hearing a lot about Pivot Pegz lately. After a September dualsport trip into the high passes of Colorado, where we spent long periods of time standing on the foot pegs, I realized the first upgrade I needed to make was larger foot pegs on my BMW F800 GS. After watching a Globe Riders DVD with host Helge Pedersen, I was convinced Pivot Pegz were the way to go. They are readily available from web retailers like Touratech or Adventurer’s Workshop (where I bought mine). They essentially have a spindle and bearings, a lot like the pedals on a bicycle. Unlike the pedals on a bicycle, they have stops so they can only rock a few degrees forward and back, under spring tension. The benefit is your feet are always flat on the foot peg platform whether you are sitting or standing. I haven’t ridden with them yet, but I will tell you the install took about 10 minutes. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and some needle nose pliers. Here are some photos of the install.

Pivot Pegz feature a pivoting axle and springs, and nice big grippy platform.

Almost twice as wide as the stock foot pegs! Very grippy teeth.

The entire install took about 5 minutes per side on the BMW F800 GS.
