i need to update this thread! been crazy busy with work lately and havent had much chance to work on the bike.
Hopefully getting engine mounts machined within a week so i can get all the frame welding completed finally!

Cool ... Man
I leave you a picture of foot pegs, all titanium.
Could you quantify me (as an estimate) achievement.
Same width as your foot pegs "RAPTOR TITANIUM"
with the same types of fixed as you designed mounting Honda CRF 2002/2012
If you have enough time for that ...

jBernard:
As soon as i get this thing finished i'm looking at getting a few parts like the peg bosses made that i did in Ti.
But since you ask about them for a CR i know they have different mounting points/design than my KX just by looking at them.

I'll have to buy some steel stock ones and re-engineer them for each Make. And hopefully they fit a fair amount of years for each model! Would be to much expense if a particular design only fit a model for a few years.

those are some great looking factory pegs! very odd though, you can see the platform is either waterjet or cnc, but i dont know how they did the spikes, because i dont see any welds visible. i dont think they CNC'd the whole thing, that would be a nightmare. my guess is that they made the base then welded a bent piece of plate with the spikes on top, then ground down the welds and polished out the heat affected zone. my guess.

jBernard:
maybe i'm confused on your post now that i think about it. were you asking about the actual pegs or the peg bosses? the peg bosses hole the peg to the frame, and thats what i made, as well as the pin.

my pegs are from Raptor Titanium.

jBernard:
figured i'd give you guys a teaser on a few pieces i'm in the near stages of completing.....


stock linkage on left!


Here's a few hints.... Its not aluminum and its 60% of the weight.

hulkteam476:
please, tell me how much. For this work on the links

This will give me a base to do this in France.

for foot pegs is (CNC) full titanium the nuance you used

I like your delirium
