1125r Ulysses footpeg conversion
July 1st, 2009
Fitted the Ulysses pegs to my 1125r this evening. They are a good inch or so lower than the standard peg and are double the depth so foot comfort on longer trips should be better. I have adjusted the angles of the gear changer and rear brake to compensate for the lower pegs. I’ll get a few miles done and confirm whether its a must have conversion or not. I’m not totally convinced at this point because I’m concerned that base plate where your foot goes is further away from the frame and therefore makes getting to the foot levers a problem. I did do a quick 5 mile ride after fitting them and it did appear to me ok so time will tell…
Below are a couple of pictures of the pegs before and after…

Is that the drop set from AmericanSportBike.Com? The mount looks similar, but the peg I got from them is like the race-legal peg.

The pegs I have used are totally standard Buell Ulysses foot pegs. Im not convinced they are the right pegs to go for yet… I just need to tweak the gear lever a bit and will then run with them for a while to confirm if is a good or bad conversion.

And today they came off… I did a 50 mile trip on the bike and found that the position was not right for me. The drop meant that I could not use my legs as much as I wanted to keep the weight off of my wrists. I reckon that if I ever swap the clip-ons for another set of higher bars as some “r” owners have done, they may be a worthy replacement but for now I’m gonna stick with the original pegs…

Have you tried the Lightning pegs ? I prefer them as they are not as wide and the peg is rounder so your feet get a better angle – I found the Uly pegs made my feet sit too perpendicular ( flat ) and were uncomfortable on longer journeys.
