... and thats my solution. The OEM passenger pegs was too high for my wife.
These are adjustable and looks nice on the Bike.

GTRWerner those must be the MFW Vario pegs.
Do they now do some to fit the 1400GTR?
I sent them an email last year, asking if they did but have had no replay. These pegs look great except for the lack of any rubber.

I went to both web sites. The concept is neat, but there is no listing for the C 14 or GTR 1400. I am afraid to ask what the current exchange rate is for dollars to ?

Gsanto, You are wrong there. The Vario footpeg is £38.90 and you have to add the extension that you want ie 30mm for an extra £24.95.
Total comes to £63.85 plus shipping. Thats $124.85 plus shipping to the US.

Thanks Werner, I have emailed the suppliers here for some more info.
I also moved your post and the corresponding posts to a new thread as we were hijacking the original thread from DinoDanny.

Checked my bike because I have the Muzzy slipon. Any extension will place the heel of the passenger right on the slipon and their toes much closer to my boot. I like the look but I don't thnik they'll work for me.

I'll do it tomorrow
Here you can see, how it work! ... Look below.
You can change the setup 5-6 times. Not shure, because I'm not in my Carport.

I forgot, one last question. Are there three parts to this system? The hanger for attachment to the bike; the 50mm extension; and the footpeg? So the cost would be $44 + $41 +$29 = $114 USD.
