Any big Burga owners ever seen pillion foot pleg raiser type things for the 650 Burgman please,
SWMBO only has diddy legs and finds it hard on the muscles forceing her ankles into the pillion
foot holds. I thought if i could raise them an inch ( 25mm for you younguns ) it may help her a
little bit, i have seen them on the Silverwing ( factory option ) but not for the burger.

My Missus had the same problem with my Burger. Could'nt find anything to fix it. Try the BurgmanUSA site you might find something there.

Soeley did a mod on this Fuoco just using blocks of wood, some bolts to bolt them to the footboard bits and some metallic tiles to finish them off. I'll see if I can find the post.

here you go:

Google Suzuki Motorcycles uk, Click on accessories, then Burgman big, 650, search, and there they are, passenger footrest set. Got £160 to spare??!! :o :o

I dont know how similar the footrest is to the burgman 400 ... but if you can lift off the rubber at the end footrest, is there a small philips screw right at the end? if so that is the screw fehler pannier frames used. No reason you cant make a small wooden block with a heart engraved on it for her ladies feet, and screw it down there. than stain it black to match in.. you can make it as fancy as she likes.. Even if you only used one screw it should stay down safely? the screw would be at the end of the block so make sure it cant swivel.. thats the only problem i see. What do you think?
ooops another Burgman AN400 K8 again and...
