Help! Left side foot peg mount....

(1/2) > >>

AZSingletracker:
Is it just my 2003 KX5 or is the left side foot peg mount really weak? :?   I don't do any crazy MX style jumps and haven't had and major crashes. Yet, my left side foot peg mount after about 6 or 7 rides is bowing away from the frame and the peg is moving at an angle more and more towards the rear with each ride. It's now about 25 or 30 degrees off from where it should be and moved about 8 degrees or so just today with no crashes and just the weight of myself on it (200 LB rider). It's pretty frustrating to say the least.  :(

Does anyone make a nice after market peg mount or is it something that I am going to have to make myself? :roll:

Thanks for any input you can give.  8)

MJScore maybe able to help you out with this one. His shows a beefy left side mount. See pic from his photo album:

mjscore:
Terry Cable makes a nice and very sturdy one out of machined steel. Ask your local dealer to order one from White Brothers or order direct from Terry Cable. I will try to get a better closeup picture of it and put it in the gallery.

AZSingletracker:
Perfect! Just what I was looking for and just ordered one. It looks like a nice quality part and should hold up better than the stocker part.

Thanks for the help and info.

mikesmith:
Thats one of the little flaws you have to fix,I know you ordered allready but pro circuit and Zip-Ty(Terry cables son) makes mounts also.Aluminum,steel,weld on,and bolt on,wider new style,or narrow old style.I havent changed mine but they need it,they sag to a point then dont spread much.
