Big Peg mounted on 2005 R1200GS. The factory rubber insert does not fit into the slots on this peg.	Kit includes two each of peg, clevis pin, spring, spring alignment collar, bottom stainless washer and cotter pin.
These four photos show the prototype pegs with very deep teeth.	The Big Peg is lower by 1.25" to 1.5" depending on the model of GS.
This photo shows a sample of the production Big Peg. The teeth are slightly shallower than on the prototype pegs.	Another view of the final design. Big Pegs are 5.3" long overall, with a grip area of 4 inches by 2 inches

The Big Peg (DRF-5) fits the narrower frame clevis of all GS models 1996 thru 2005. For 2006 and newer bikes, the DRF-6 kit includes an aluminum spacer to fit the wider clevis of the second generation "adventure" rear sub-frame. The peg itself is the same for both kits.

	In approximately February of 2006 all GS models came with the new Adventure rear sub frame. The centerstand was moved forward for easier lifting and the side stand was changed. The clevis for mounting the footpeg was widened to accommodate the Adventure footpeg. On standard GS models a spacer washer was glued to the traditional GS peg to take up the extra space.

Factory pegs have always been made short. For serious off-road riding there are times when you need to get a foot down quickly. The short peg gives you maximum access to the ground. Unfortunately they can be tiring and uncomfortable. If you do serious off-road riding, we suggest you practice with the Big Peg so that you learn how to avoid the peg should you need to make a quick stab at the ground.
