WIDE--Foot Pegs

(1/3) > >>

kawdude:
Being the cheap person that I am, I'm thinking about building a set of wider foot pegs for the KX.  My idea is to take the stock ones and shape a piece of 1" flat stock around them so there's approximately a 1\2" gap between the old and the new.

Has anyone tried this?

mikesmith:
Yes,my stock pegs are 2 1/4" wide after doing it.It was cheap and easy,but its time for new ones now,the pin holes are oval.

kawdude:
My pin holes are the same so I welded them shut and drilled a new hole.  Hopefully the weld will be harder than the original.  Worked like a charm.
I started making the wider pegs today and it looks pretty good.  I'll post some pics when I'm done.

mikesmith:
I wanted to go to the new style pegs is why Im going to replace the pegs and mounts.But Ty Davis or Terry Cable sell a kit to put a bushing in the pivot hole.

fast500#12:
welding the pin holes will work of a while, but the filler matterial is realitively soft compaired to the pin matterial and will wear fast compaired to new pegs. ims stainless steelys are 70 bucks at rockmountainatv.com that rock mountain atv-mc great on line parts store good prices.
