Lowering Foot Pegs r1200rs

These are available in either anodized aluminum, black or silver, as well as rubber padded top.

Here's an install video I did on a 2016RT, but it's the same procedure.

I see in boxflyer's video the shift lever is adjusted to match the lowered peg, can the brake pedal be adjusted also and if not does this cause a problem?

I too have put these on my RS. I also had a set on my R1150GS. Get company and products. I'm 6'4", 35" inseam. These really opened up the legroom and with a Heilbar riser, the RS is now a long mile day bike (600+). The Suburban Machinery right hand block moves the entire stock peg and brake down. The left is a L shaped block. I didn't have to adjust my shifter but could without issue.

I also have the Knight Design foot pegs. One pointer on them is they don't make the foot pegs farther apart. The factory brake is non adjustable. I purchased the adjustable brake lever from Ilium Works.

I too got the adjustable brake lever from Ilium Works, I like it a lot, not only can you have the pedal where you want it but it's large.

I've used the suburban machinery on my 1200R and both 1200 and 1250RT, been very happy with them. On the Rts I bought the illium brake levers and was very happy with that combo as well.
 
Anyone familiar with the Wunderlich setup? I’m contemplating lowering the pegs on my ‘21 RT. Looks like Suburban Machinery kit plus the Iliumworks brake lever is a great option. The Wunderlich site states that their kit includes hardware to move the brake lever.

The Suburban Machinery moved the entire brake assembly as it uses a lowering block for the assembly. There is no need for a different lever, at least that is how it is for the RS and R bikes. I would assume the same for the RT.

The Suburban Machinery doesn't change the location of the brake peddle or shifter, it's a choice to move them. I put this kit on my 14R1200RT back when, it's now been moved to my 22R1250RT. I did purchase at the same time as the Suburban Machinery kit Ilium brake peddle and made the manual adjustment to the shift lever. This set up works for me and not only having each lever in the location I like the size of the Ilium brake peddle is great. Suburban Machinery is a Mom Pop operation, I've talk with them at MOA rally's.

Do these lower pegs drag the pavement when riding the twisties at speed ?
On the RT

The Knight Designs do not, in my experience.

THe Ilium Works brake pedal is not really required, but if you don't use it the brake pedal will be above the footpeg which I don't care for....

YMMV,
