Footpegs - non folding

[stucatz]

Can anyone tell me if they mounted non folding round type footpegs and which brand / model.

 

I'm simply looking to replace a bent original one with a more sport type peg system.

 

Thanks

My forward foot position kit uses the original folding footpegs.

 

If it will help you find what you are looking for, check www.motratech.com or send me a personal message.

 

Cheers,

John

Depends on the rider, my lower legs always get caught on the pegs, and if they don't fold....I may be in trouble.

Stu, FWIW, forged aluminum footpegs can easily be restored to original shape. I'd bent one up at a 90-degree angle in a small "mishap" awhile back. Heating it up with a torch (didn't take a terrific amount of heat), it was very easily "persuaded" back into original shape in a vise, using a short length of pipe as a lever slipped over the end. NOTE: Excessive heat will allow the aluminum to soften on its surface and deform where it's gripped, so best not overdo. After heat-reforming, the one I'd bent can't be distinguished from new.

 

BTW -- as Joel points out, non-folding pegs have considerable trade-offs to think about. They're certainly much more of a threat and a danger to the rider in event of any kind of a crash. Then there's the consideration that when (not IF, it's merely a question of probabilities and time, isn't it?) the bike goes over, there are only two possibilities if something has to give (and something usually does) under the force of hitting the tarmac: 1. The rigid peg either bends or snaps off, and/or 2. The rigid peg is strong enough to resist bending or breaking, but the pork-chop and all chassis parts to which it is solidly affixed take the brunt of the considerably leveraged force at the end of this rather long lever-arm, and something(s) lots bigger and lots more more expensive get(s) tweaked and/or broken.
