I admit it: I'm a sucker for mechanical beauty. And I knew from the moment I stuck a pair of these babies on my R1200GS I'd be wanting another pair for the R100. So in a moment of weakness I started cruising the net and came up with cyclebuy.com who were offering 'em for $99. Only trouble was I wasn't sure what model to order. An email off to Steve Lederer at Fastway Performance was turned around very quickly with the answer: 22-2-403. That turns out to be the same offering used in Honda XR Minis, and is also the same as I used for the R1200GS. The order was placed that day, and the box was on the porch before the end of the following week.

The folks at Fastway are pretty clever: They've figured out a way of using one 'peg body on a wide variety of motorcycles, just by changing out one bushing. That bushing (they call it the "Universal Collar System, or UCS for short) is visible in the photo above, and is shown sticking out of the top side of the 'peg to provide a low mounting position for a little more leg room on the cramped R100GS. I just pushed the bushing out of the 'peg with the steel dowel (provided in the kit) and flipped 'em over before pressing them home between the copper jaw covers of a machinists vice.

The 'pegs come with almost everything you'll need for installation: The pegs themselves, a selection of stainless steel set screws that can be added to the 'peg faces for more traction, a little tube of LocTite to hold the set screws in, an Allen wrench to screw in the set screws, a pair of springs, two M6 grade 8 steel bolts for adjusting the camber of the 'pegs, a bunch of shims for the camber adjustment, the drift for the bushings, and a single page instruction sheet.

BMW uses a long bolt to hold the footpeg pins in, and a 13 mm socket and combo wrench soon had the old 'pegs off. I fished around in the parts drawer and came up with a pair of M8 x 1.25 x 50 mm stainless steel socket head cap screws, with stainless washers and locknuts to replace the BMW hardware, which would have been too long.

The photo above shows the bushing fully seated in the bore, and the adjuster bolt holding down a stack of shims. I used three of the thickest shims (0.060") from the kit on the left side, but the stack still wasn't thick enough on the right so I threw on the remaining half dozen or so thin spacers. That gave the 'pegs a nice flat lay.

Just as with the BMW pegs, the soles of my boots ride on the leading edge of the 'peg when I'm seated. But when I stand up my arches cover the whole 'peg top, and my feet sigh a big "Ahhhhh" when they feel the added support. At $105 including shipping, the Fastway's aren't cheap, but the improved comfort and quality craftsmanship and design are worth every penny.
