HUM Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Hi I am looking for alternative footpegs , now is on the GSX 1100E . from GSXR GR 7BB, 92 model ( mounting distance 70mm middle hole to middle hole ) does anybody know the distances from newer models ( GSXR ) ? Regards Uli
Lewi Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 If by newer model gsxr you're meaning 96 onwards, 96-k5 gsxr 600/750s and gsxr 1000 k1-k4 are all 55mm hole centers
HUM Posted December 29, 2020 Author Posted December 29, 2020 Hi and how long time they had this 70mm until year ? cheers Uli
Lewi Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I'm not 100% sure on that. If it's aftermarket rearsets you're looking for, it wouldn't be too difficult for somone to fab up a bracket to fit the later gsxr ones

Do you have a strength report for the material ? has this also been official checked ? Do you have a release from Suzuki ? are there made test drives with official engeneer ? For a single report you have to calculate with costs of € 50,- and more , only to have a chance that one of this fck... officers will check this suspicious part without guaranty that U will get OK . The cost for write this part into papers as road lagal will be another € 150,-. And if you are unlucky, a cop of zero clue of matter has doubted the opinion of the TUV and will deprive you of the operating license, means end of trip, put bike on a trailor to bring back home . . Next is extraordinary control of a testing organization, whether this is also correct in order to regain the operating license plus administrative costs, of course at your expense.

A small cutout of 40 years to be a Biker here in our nice country , But in Austria I have heard, it is much more stupid ... cheers Uli
Poldark Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 HUM, I could sponsor you for immigration to the US and get you out of that bureaucratic nightmare. You should be able to qualify for motorcycle refugee status. Some states here don't have any inspection requirements. 3
Lewi Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I had no idea how strict German TUV is. I have heard little bits and bobs. So every aftermarket part has to meet certain tuv? How does pattern standard parts fall into this?

Can you tell me if i got a bike that is mot'ed in Sweden, can i be pulled over and be refused to leave except for on a trailer? Because we have different rules.
Poldark Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 2 hours ago, Dezza said: Wow: what could possibly go wrong?? Is there any evidence of states without inspection requirements having higher accident rates? Although some states don't have inspection requirements, they still can require certain standards for vehicles driven on the public roads. For example, a police officer can cite a driver for non-functioning lights. Most vehicle accidents are found to be operator error, not equipment related. 1
Dezza Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 We can tell the UK DoT all this and they can send our annual MOT test to the dustbin of history then
slayer61 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Here in the states, I have seen it both ways. When I lived in Missouri in the mid 80's, every vehicle had to pass an inspection of sorts... make sure lights, wipers etc worked. Brakes were serviceable, or within spec. Pour black, toxic fumes out the tailpipe, but was "safe". Here in California, there is no such test, but we have to pass a tailpipe sniff test for cars & trucks. A complete rolling pile of excriment, but it won't harm the environment any more than allowed.

Ordnung muss sein. If you don't like the control freaks, emigrate, like I did (from Holland to Lithuania). Now please keep it on topic or ze forum TUV will intervene.

Because we have different rules. for sure they do not care about rules in other countries , you are in Germany and you have to keep the German rules , as CC told Ordnung. Muss sein jawoll !! In Germany u have a Bit Space for negotiations, if u are clever and if u have the right papers , in Austria they open first ur wallet I would not take the risk to have confrontation with a cop if u have a modified loud bike which is legal in Sweden , that at the end u can order a trailer ..... For example loud is per se illegal , but if u have the right paper , and the cop accept this paper , 100db and more can be legal ... if ur nose is not ok for the cop , u loose . Best is not to see this guys and not drive on popular bike roads , as for example b500 in Black Forest , there u can be sure that u are the second winner . In 70ies and 80ies was fun to drive a bike here , now it is political target to get bikes from the streets because bikes are loud too fast , bikes have too much accidents, to drive a bike just for fun is bad for environment, etc. etc. and such old and loud vehicles we drive should be forbidden..... that's the background Cheers and happy new year uli 1

That said we are not allowed to stray from standard at all (in an accident if you're on a bike without the exhaust baffle insurance won't cover you due to a "modified" exhaust system. But France is also the country of "it's legal if you don't get caught" so
