Pegs don't line up! What is wrong with this picture?

[Fiat Lux]

I am gradually getting acquainted with my 2001 Standard and fixing all the mistakes committed by previous owners. But as you can see, my pegs don't line up! (Ignore the highway pegs, my issue is with the regular OEM pegs.)



Now before anyone can sneer at my Birkenstocks and white sox (after a long day in riding boots), here is the right side:



And here is the left side:



Now this is not a huge problem and I am almost getting used to the offset but there must be some really simple solution to this. What is wrong with this picture!

Something really weird here. Individually, my pegs match yours EXACTLY. Left hanger tip is at the seam in the collector cover, like yours; and the right is right there in the crook of the elbow of the brake pedal lever, like yours. Yet from above mine look like they are part of the same strait bar, exactly across from one another. Any chance the bike has had some frame damage?

There is a peg relocation kit installed on the right side.  Most likely a Rattelbars. Remove the chrome cover and you will see the relocation plate behind the factory mounting bracket.  Do a search for Rattlebars relocation kit instructions and reverse to remove.  Check out a Honda parts diagram, you may have to purchase a brake line retainer.

What 6tigo said.  The right side has the peg relocation kit and the left does not.  The relo kit was made to move the pegs down an inch and forward a couple of inches.

Thanks guys! This is very helpful. I am relieved that there is no frame damage. I must confess to removing the left side relocation kit because I did not like the floor boards that the bike came with and did not realize that the pegs would then be offset.

Now to the remedy. The Rattelbars people are no longer in business and I have had no luck finding relocation kit installation instructions.

Here is a really naïve question: How do I remove that chrome cover? It seems very firmly in position and I don't want to bend/break anything.

Have a good weekend!

There is a 8 or 10mm bolt on the bottom holding it on, remove that and it will lift off.

Has anyone gone out and looked at their pegs? (I'm not near my Valk)
Every boxer BMW I've ever owned has had the pegs offset like that. It's cause is the different distance of the rods on the crank.

Also check out Dag's web site and get the service manual.

Dag also posts installation manuals there, so if you find a copy you might want to forward/offer to Dag to post for all to find in the future.

Fiat Lux, I just e-mailed you Rattlebars Peg Relocation instructions.

Hope they help.

The bolt uses and allen wrench that should be included in your tool kit. It appears as you do have the relocation kit on the right side. The first exhaust cover has a flat spot to allow the brake pedal pivot point to slightly overlap the cover. Yours is totally exposed and the brake lines are pulled tight. Removing that adapter plate is not a big deal.
