'Broader' footpegs?
6 March 2009 - 10:31pm
Yes, I am spamming the forum tonight ;)
I know you get longer footpegs, but do you get ones that are broader as well as wider? Or is there anyone that custom makes something like that?
When riding long distances offroad, having a bit more 'foot space' could go a long way in keeping your feet and lower legs from taking too much strain.
If the only available option are the wider pegs, who sells those locally?
Thanks all :)

Try your nearest dealer or Wild @ Heart Adventures or Biketique.

I asked the same question and had my own pegs modified and fitted in quick time - wider and longer than what was on offer commercially.
Also at a far lower cost.
Below are offerings from people on the forum when I asked and used these to have mine made up.
Hope you come right.
There are many on this forum who have the skill and nouse to mod pegs.
DIY peg modifying: Drill out 4 holes 6mm big in the footpeg- right through
DIY footpeg modifying 2: Cut a 3mm flat bar to the size you require, then drill the 4 holes to match those on the peg, then fit 4 stainless steel boltsolts with steel tube spacers (or uses ny-lok nuts to keep the spacing) and bolt them in place with nuts as shown
DIY footpeg modifying 3: this photo clearly shows how idiot-proof this task is. Any workshop could produce stylish work like this. and you can taylor them to your liking
DIY footpegs: These rider and pillion set of pegs were modified and crafted by the owner from the originals. You can have them anodised or painted.
Touratech wider pegs: These are the touratech pegs

LadyAth, modifying pegs like Andy has shown may seem daunting, but don't fret, strap the one on your back and the other twin in front and proceed!:-)

Oooohhh thanks for the info andyman! I'll definately not attempt to do those mods myself (idiotproof does not mean me-proof), but I am sure my father can DIY that for me.
Neil: I think the twins might object just a little LOL

if you have access to tools and the nouse it is a doddle, if not you're sure to have a friend who does.
The set of photos were from Geel Kameel, I noted them on his bike this weekend.
