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

I didn´t know that.After looking on german ebay I found this Tenere 34L frame and the footpegs are rubber!Also the break pedal is not toothed!!!!!!
Less agressive Tenere(Tenere on Prozac?)
Look at the pics
My frame badge has all the information on german.......
And I send you Pamela as reward for the first star!

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...
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

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
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
)
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.
