At 5'8" and riding two up all the time, I wanted to get both feet down flat so I installed a lower seat which made my knee bend to extreme for touring. I installed this lowered footpeg kit and got my comfort back. Riding moderately aggressive two up, I have not touched the pegs down. It was an easy install with the right tools and the great step by step video by Wunderlich helped.

I have tried lowered foot pegs from other vendors and found them lacking. Primarily due to not maintaining the correct brake pedal relationship to the lowered foot peg. This kit from Wunderlich is beautifully finished and properly designed to maintain the proper brake pedal and shift lever heights corresponding to the newly lowered foot pegs. This is an excellent product.

This kit is well made and installs pretty easily. I took my time and it was about 1.5 hours on my 2022 RT. The foot peg retainer springs do require a little bit of muscle to get back into place. The new difference in foot placement makes the rider triangle a little more tolerable without sacrificing performance. I did find a couple of discrepancies between the instructional video and reality. The smaller peg set screws take a 2.0mm wrench and not a 2.5 as stated. Also, the direction to loosen the shift lever linkage was opposite to what was depicted in the video.
** Added tip ** I wrapped the tips of my screwdrivers with a small amount of duct tape to avoid marring the finish of the brackets
Perfect fit and more comfortable

Upon buying this foot peg lowering kit, I figured I would put it on in about an hour, which is double the 25 minute guideline on Wunderlich site. I loved the video, as it was clear, concise and complete. I took my time using the video as my complete guide. The machined aluminum parts were very nice, first class product. Everything went perfectly right up until trying to put the spring back on the foot peg. The right side took me over an hour and a bloody finger before I finally got it on. The video guy made it look VERY easy. Of course, I am not a young whipper snapper either. It would get so close to going on then thwang! I took a break and ate dinner before going back to the garage to put the left spring on. It went on in about 2 minutes with 3 attempts. I pretty much mangled the plastic spacer on the RH side while trying to put the spring on, but the LH side was unscathed. Perfect fitting, perfect quality, better comfort and a GREAT video to boot. I highly recommend this kit. If I did it again, I am sure I would get it done closer to the 25 minute timeline....maybe 45 minutes. 5 stars without question!

Great kit although a little pricey (thus the 4 stars). I was quite surprised to find that thread locker fluid was supplied in the kit. Installation time was spot on if you have all the required tools in hand and the You Tube video was invaluable. Most difficult step was re-installing the peg springs. Having had multiple right knee surgeries has impacted my ability to position my foot on the peg and still effectively cover the break lever without inducing ride killing pain. This kit has all but eliminated this issue and I now look forward to rides again. Thank you.

Most farkles fall into the category of something you don't need this kit is not one of those. My knees were in pain and numb after an hour or so of riding from the position on my 2020 RT. I like the seat in the low position for stability on stops but even putting the seat in the high position did not significantly relieve the pressure on my knees. A friend suggested lowering the footpegs and I found this kit from Wunderlich. I watched the installation video before purchasing the kit and didn't see anything that set off alarm bells so I ordered it. Installation is easiest if you just watch the video and follow the demonstration. Don't bother with the printed instructions as you will likely get confused about the orientation of the mounts using both printed and video instructions. I rewatched that specific part of the video and had no problem. A picture is worth a thousand words. I fiddled a bit with the shift lever position but found a user video on YouTube which suggested measuring from the ground to the shifter at 12" I did that and then just fine tuned the position to my liking. It is perfect now. The brake pedal is super simple due to the nicely engineered bracket included in the kit. The end result is true long distance comfort on my RT. To be honest I was surprised BMW didn't engineer adjustability into the footpegs but c'est la vie. This kit fixed the problem for me and I am very happy with the new position and the quality of the entire kit.

Installed kit; did take me longer than 25 min. The spring clips for the foot rests were very hard for me to re-install. They unclip rather easily. The video really helped. Overall superb quality and my ride position is more comfortable. Allow more time to install. It took me 2 hours but I have very average mechanical skills.

Just installed my footpeg lowering kit and am very pleased with how straight forward the process was. Parts are all high quality and the kit looks good on the bike. My riding comfort has really been improved. Took a couple of rides to get used to the new peg placement when putting my feet down coming to a stop but fine now. I also like the brake cylinder bracket as it preserves the brake pedal position with the new pegs. All in all, I highly recommend this product.

I had to install a low seat, because I'm getting too old to reliably keep my R1200RT upright at stop lights on tippy-toe when it's loaded with camping gear. That solved one problem but created another; my 32" inseam legs were cramped on the stock pegs. I installed the lowering pegs, thinking that they would scrape, but that's the price of growing older and continuing to ride. The pegs are great quality, the instructions are perfectly clear, but you need to spend a little time with them before you reach for the wrenches, since they apply to several different models. There are Chinese knockoffs available for a quarter of the price, but they don't come with a TÜV booklet certifying their quality. I stand on my pegs sometimes to relieve strain on the road, and I'm not going to risk injury to save $150. I took the bike out today on some winding mountain roads in Vermont. Great news, the pegs do not scrape in some fairly aggressive riding (for a touring bike.) The brake pedal is well positioned in relation to the new peg location, and is easy to access for trail braking or parking lot maneuvering. The only issue is that the pegs move outward as well as downward, and after you adjust your shift lever for height, it will still be a little too far "inboard" of your left foot. Turning your foot on the peg to access the shift lever gets a little old. You might as well order the Wunderlich shift lever extension #8160432 at the same time, because you will probably want it.

Foot peg lowering kit. Great workmanship on these CNC components. Well worth the money and it makes the bike a lot more comfortable on longer rides.
