(IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/beer.gif) Why modify Harley parts for your HONDA? I hope I am not breaking any rules by this posting and i am not affiliated with seller, just excited to get more legroom on 6th Gen VFR without taking on any engineering projects. Someone from group linked me to this site www.eurotechmotorsports.com or bmweuro and I spoke with owner Chris Canterbury TN is (530) 345-7145 who aws just going to Germany to an Intermot show, anyway Chris stocks German-made MFW adjustable footpeg mounts part# 051040100 front fits vfr800 98 on up including 6th Gen $85 usd (they also sell rear/pass adj mounts if you ride 2 up) and you will need to buy their pegs to fit, many styles and color choices, I used part#050000100-8 which are black race style foot pegs $29.95 so these 2 items total $114.95 cheaper than Thurn by a lot of $$$, will give you 1.25 of extra room (I am also ordering plates and longer shifter from thurn for big $$$) . Chris will offer a 15% discount for a group buy of 5 or more from VFRD!!! So that works out to be $17.24 off or a total of $97.71 plus ship on this setup, PROBLEM SOLVED CHEAPLY!!! Please do not contact him individually, must have 5 or more for discount, I have a set ordered, also Chris is searching for trick parts from Germany for the VFR. I hope I am not breaking any rules and that a moderator can pin this to solve a major problem with VFR and taller riders like me, Thanks! DOUG (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/wheel.gif)

best part is that it doesnt break! doesnt fry rectifiers and a bolt you can find at ace hardware
i saw them for the mille....... have to think about that. would i be included in the discount deal????
Yes, Chris is way cool, tell him you are vfrd and is good, also our friend in NYC carries PAZZO levers that bolt up on those Brembo set ups stock oem Prila I think or maybe was CRG?? anyway is there, local shop sold Prila and started up one with carbon fibre can on it for me, I sez never gonna buy this just press play and will listen, nice bikes, I want an Aprilia Supermoto when they can give me a 17 digit VIN for it, ride on, I will give you some passing room on my VFR!

I got a set of these from Thurn about 6 months ago... think I paid about $150 shipped.
Fixer is right, you'll lose those little plastic/rubber plugs in the end shortly after install.
The other problem I've had is the bolt seizes in the adjustable portion, so being able to change them is now impossible, thanks to the cheesy bolt they use (ie stripped now)... luckily I had them in the position I wanted anyway, but it would have been nice to change it based on where or what I was riding on...
If you get these I'd highly recommend you invest in a decent bolt, I even applied moly to the threads prior to putting them on and that didn't help...
I like them otherwise, that extra inch or whatever helps, just remember to lift your toes up on the pegs when you corner...
767fixer, Oct 23 2006, 09:49 PM clearwater west coast......palm beach east... but my parents live just south of palm beach. perhaps when i know you are coming down i can make a special trip over siggy.....?? machine/engine shop. probably do not know him....but siggy sounds familiar.
/ww slaps head...
I should have known that. I think we'll be down there later this year, but not sure of the date. Siggy's last name is Rauscher (/ww slaps head again for not putting the last name in the post.... ww's head is starting to hurt.) I think he mainly works on landing gear... or something. Man, I'm just a lowly IT guy... I don't even pretend to understand how planes work (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/cool.gif)
Sondance! I think these are different than Thurn, are made by MFW ??!! wondering if that was same brand as you purchased, the thing I like is the notches where the adjustment fits together like a puzzle piece, looks hefty and even if bolt is loose, the pegs will not spin because are notched, are your pegs from Thurn like this, I think the rubber remark was about top cushion pads on oem honda vs these flat alum pegs, per Chris at eurotech, rides many different bike, makes the switch and doesnt notice vibration at feet, does a VFR shake yer tootsies? now I understand heavy bar weights/throttle-meister can smooth tingles at grips, but not sure if really is anything to worry about on your booties, the end cap falling out on pegs I will not have because am ordering race pegs that are slashed w/no beauty caps on pegs, look at your pegs/adj from Thurn and tell me if you think are MFW same as pics on eurotechs website??? Thanks DOUG (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/wheel.gif)

Yep, my peg mounts are notched exactly the same... you have to loosen that bolt enough to get them out of the notches such that you can alter the peg location... however once you do that, then you have to loosen the peg so the serrations on the peg align with your boot...
My pegs are not the racing ones but the Master Grip ones.. they're round with a cut out in the bottom, I presume so you don't scrape a peg... but I still have. The little round plastic cap goes on the outside, I really didn't understand the purpose... I lost one somewhere, and just took the other one out.
The only thing that looks different is the racing peg that appears to be not completely round. I still feel vibrations through them once you really open the beast up... but I'll take that over the cramped stock pegs any day!
sondance, thanks for your response! Both the Thurn and these MFW are from Germany so probably are identical= same manufacturer and probably the only option we have right now, but for $97.71 plus ship and they bolt right on, really seems better than $45 at HAWG shop and 2 hours modifying, then still not really right, so I am going to try these out. Also I am going the full deal, ordering everything else through Thurn regardless of price, I am six four, so want bikes legroom stretched out to the max, with this set up from eurotech i will also add Thurn side plates which relocate the oem peg brackets to many locations, longer thurn shifter, and brake line kit?? MAXing the legroom out, will post my results and pics in a couple weeks, Thanks, long distance/long legs , DOUG
I have a set of the Thurn which are the same as these and have no issues with them at all. I think I will get a set of the red pegs and see how they go with my new wheels.
Hobie1dog, Oct 24 2006, 12:10 AM 4th Gen viffers get left out AGAIN (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/dry.gif)
Wouldn't there be another Honda with the same size peg hinge?? I'd been seeing a lot of nice VFR400 rearsets lately in eBay with all the fancy adjustability features. I wonder if those would work with the 4th gen, if the mounting bolt centers are the same.
