Review on 🏍️ Enhance Your Riding Experience with Motorcycle Engine Guard Highway Footpegs: 25mm / 1" Crash Bars Mount for R1200GS LC 2013-2017 Tiger Explorer by Chris Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I have high hopes for this manufacturer.

3. UPDATE: This manufacturer contacted me again. They assured me that they identified the problem with the welding process and took action to fix it. They also fixed the installation problem. These pins fit 22mm (7/8") and 25mm (1") rods. This is achieved with a plastic shim that reduces them down to 22mm bars. This spacer is factory installed and must be removed to install on 25mm bars (see image). This is not shown in the instructions. 2nd UPDATE: I received a second set to try out. One of the welds broke when I took the pen out of the box (photo with yellow arrow). Also, like the first set, this set was designed for the wrong size rods. Until the manufacturer fixes these issues, I'll stick with my original review. 1. UPDATE: This manufacturer contacted me and offered to send me a new kit for evaluation. I have changed my rating to 4 stars in anticipation of this review. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought these for my Super Tenere which has a 1" engine protection tube. Thought this design would be great as an alternate leg position on long paved sections but very flat for dirt and trail. For starters, the pins that came in the box labeled 1" bars were actually designed for 7/8" bars. . I'd stop here, but my other bike, the CB500X, has 7/8" bars. After disassembling the footpegs for installation, I found that one of the latches was damaged and didn't work. Before changing them I wanted to make sure they would work. on this bike. So I tried installing one of these. In the process, with less force than just holding the pin in place, one of the lug nuts came loose. Upon closer inspection, I found that the nuts are only held on very light jolts. In my opinion these welds in no way support the weight of the rider's leg resting on the footrest. This design could be really great for adventure bikes if done with better techniques.

Pros
  • Motor protection
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
