One of my riding buds has them. Possibly from Banke. The principle used is a plate that bolts onto the stock plates but they are spaced out 1/4" to allow for the nut which secures the peg mount. I find his to be too far rear-set. And to splay out too far. So I'm thinking that a plate that mounts over the stock plate and locates the peg to the swingarm axle hole would position the pegs right for me and allow for the peg mount bolt head to go into the hole for the swingarm access.
Given my bent shifter problem, this may be fast-tracked, since my home-made shifter from my Sportster's rear-sets would be the correct length for that peg location.
I saw a comment about re-making the stock plates with a better kickstand mount. Incorporating a rear-set peg mount would be trick. But likely too expensive for me. Although I do need to do something about the kickstand. What I need is the BMW program that puts it down automatically. Anybody have a spare shift lever?

FMJ, regarding your rearsets, do you know the distance from stock (in terms of inches back? And up/down if any?)?

Also do they force your pegs out much?

Who made them? You? They look great. How did you like them on the bike?

Those rear-sets look fairly straight forward - maybe a job for

They are way too far rear-set for my taste on a street bike.
Are they spaced out from the side plates?
Stu's (my buddy's) extend back for passenger peg mounts, too.
A purist would cringe, but I think a person could just cut a peg mount slot elsewhere on the stock plates. Not me, though, without a "return-to-stock" backup.
I think its a job for:

I'll be picking up some aluminum plate on the way to work. Need to make a brake lever, though. (And still need a stock shift lever in the meantime.)
