    Looking for a set of lowering foot pegs for my 2012 Sprint GT, anyone selling a set just finding my right knee getting sore after a long stint in the seat.

    Thanks
    Mark

    I have these on my Speed Triple. I bought them for my VFR 800 as they are the same as the blackbird but they fit the triumph and make the leg position more relaxed

    I also use some general Honda pegs with rubber pads on in conjunction with the lowering kit.

    Hi,
    Could you please post me a pic of the foot pegs?

    I've got a 2002 Speed Triple and I'm looking for something that does the job, unlike the things i bought from China (I know...) which made riding almost impossible!

    Thanks.

    Looks good! I take it then you don't need to hold your feet at a weird angle, each time you want to brake or change gear?

    I bought these and they are terrible. Fairly well made, but terrible!

    No, not at all. They do stick out a bit more than the original pegs and I had to adjust the brake and gear lever to suit but it didn't take too long to get used to it, it certainly gives a more relaxed riding position and the rubber tops to the pegs add that bit of extra comfort.

    Won’t the standard GT pegs fit these blocks or is it totally different?

    Sorry for asking I’m not near the bike away from home so can’t check.

    Cheers

    They would with a bit of work. Where the Honda peg is bolted to the lowering bracket the inside dimension is 9mm, on the standard peg it’s 7mm so you’d have to file/grind 2mm off and that could weaken it. It is doable tho.
