Hello fellow beaksterites,

If anyone has lowered foot pegs and has the lowered gear shift lever, beware that the flange may break off the lever. I was riding to my dealer (luckily) when my lever broke off at the weld point. I McIvered it with a piece of string so I could shift and get to the dealer and he welded it back together, but it scared the hell out of me when I went to shift and there was nothing there.

I do not know what brand the shift lever is since i did not put it on. it was already installed when I bought the bike. It is a skinnier steel lever rather than the heavier cast aluminum type of the original. I do have the original lever and I am considering taking off the peg owering kit and jsut putting the original gear lever back on.

In a related topic, does anyone know of a lowered brake pedal for the R?

It sounds like you might have the altered stock shifter from

I just installed a lower drivers peg kit by wunderliche I purchased from santacruz bmw. The kit is well thought out. It included some components to lower the shifter and the brake pedal. Dumb question; but have you adjusted the brake pedal to lower it with the stock pieces?
The kit I used came with a shorter actuator rod for the brake pedal. I also needed to move the lock nut from below the pedal to the top of the pedal.

Hope the info helps you more than confuses you. The wunderliche products are high quality IMHO. Santacruz BMW was good to deal with also. Let me know if you need any additional info.
