I just saw Dan´s bike. He has got the same footpegs. :scratch:
The german bikes have got rubberpegs and a solid brakelevertip.
I will have a look at this... :sherlock:
Does anybody know something about it?

Ola Karl,
I think it´s because the germans are just driving on paved roads.
And certainly because of the "dangerous" nonrubberpegs.
The consumer has to be protected...
:birdgrin:

Thanx for Pam.

I'm pretty sure metal foot pegs are illegal in Germany.
At some point a politician must have thought rubber pegs "looked" safer & made it law without asking anyone with experience :tosser:

My G/S PD had no rubber pegs(87 build) I left germany in 94 so must have been after that this changed......no idea :bigeek:
Here an identical bike no rubber pegs(you could buy an rubber insert)but was not mandatory at that time.

I might be wrong then (usualy am according to my girlfriend) & I can't remember where I read it (it was on the 'net, so it must be true smile: )

As soon as I clicked "submit" I remembered your heritage & knew you'd be better informed.

Hi Karl,
I can´t send a PM. So here you are:
Hallo Karl,
Ich denke der für die XT könnte passen. Aber check das mal lieber.
Ich könnte für dich mitsteigern und Dir das Teil schicken.
Gruß Fred
