RBW01 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Would like to move the rider foot pegs a bit forward and down. Anyone have ideas for doing a mod, or know of available parts or kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I bought these off ebay for £28 and really happy with them. Set slightly forward gives a bit more room before heel hits the rider peg (about 1/2 inch) . Being 6'3 gives me a bit extra leg room as well.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted April 28, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 28, 2019 i was going to suggest the MFW Vario system Vario Footpeg System WWW.MFW-WOLF.DE I seen the Ebay Chinese knock offs but am unsure of their quality and structural integrity with a couple of different indexing designs noted. The MFW's on my VTR1000F have withstood my considerable girth for probably 70k miles... How did they work with the brake pedal (mods needed)? I'd think the shift lever could be adjusted to suit. Only issue I see is I really like my fleabay rubber covered pegs that are significantly longer than OEM. MFW does have 2 different styles of rubber covered pegs for their Vario system, and link plate lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBW01 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks guys. I'm not seeing listings for these types of pegs that specifically say they'll fit the '18/'19 Tracer GT. Maybe it's just too new? Will the ones listed for an FZ or FJ 09 work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted April 29, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 29, 2019 Highly likely, as other than the longer swing arm (not relevant here) and quick-shifter rod in the linkage, nothing should have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBW01 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sounds good. I'm seeing a few options for the length of the drop linkage. Has anyone installed this a figured out how far the peg can be dropped and still be able to adjust the brake and shifter far enough for proper relationship with the pegs?

RBW01 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Answered my own question. Installed a set of the MFW Vario 23mm extension arms, mount brackets and pegs. The controls were easily adjusted to match the new peg location. It definitely helps with what I considered to be an odd choice of somewhat high and rear set pegs which push your torso forward, combined with handlebars that have quite a bit of rise and pullback, which push your torso back. The riding position is now more neutral and for me, more conducive to longer rides. It's also an easy process to reverse, if the urge to do a track day comes up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! i thought about those but went with some cheaper Taiwan made pegs from ebay but haven't installed them yet. Was wonder how you secured the left side since you have to drill out the rivet and the pin looks to be shorter and doesn't have the cotter pin option. I thought about using one of the passenger pins for starters to see if I even like them on the bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBW01 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 You bring up a good point. I found it odd thst one side had a peg axle that was secured with a cotter pin, but the other side is flared like a rivet. If a cotter pin works for one side, why not the other? Anyway, the kit includes bolts and nylock nuts fo replacing the OEM peg axles. I reused the pinned one and replaced the rivet style with one of the bolts.

Michiel900GT Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I'm considering the MFW Vario. Is there no issue with the quickshifter when you adjust the gear lever? And would the 30mm variant be too low? Edited August 16, 2020 by Michiel900GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiel900GT Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks for your offer, Mark. I just looked at your profile, you're in beautiful Canada. I'm in the Netherlands. I think postage and packaging might be a bit too much. But again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
