I seem to recall someone had fitted the GSA/LC adjustable rider footpegs to a hexhead, what other parts are needed? Assuming they're a straight swap, which springs are needed, hexhead or LC?

Stu.

Looking at the picture they don't look too robust.

I put my GSA footrests back temporarily without the springs. 2 years later I've still not got around to fitting those springs.

Had mine on a while now, I'd say they more robust and a lot better than the standard ones. No more knee pain that beats anything!

At about £170 a pair, they ought to be good.

Just get a set of Fastaway foot pegs for £100, great quality and much better than OEM stuff.

I put a set of GS800 pegs on. Much better than stock.
Like new for £40 from a breaker on eBay.

A bracket to take mountain bike paddle pedals would do a good job. Anyone fancy the challenge?

Well, the final drive is still in one piece...
Oh, scared myself with the S setting. Don't think it stands for Sport, more like shit yourself!
Was still holding on to fourth gear at 130mph before I shut it down.
