Aftermarket foot pegs

[Spunky99]

I installed them today.

2 issues.
First off the spring is a tad large and it sticks up as you can see in the pics.
Second, the flat spot that keeps the foot pegs level is 1/8" shorter than stock so the pegs hang down.

I don't care about the spring issue as it really doesn't bother me so I went to the hardware store to see what I could do to get the pegs level.

I found a 1/8" X 1/2" flat brass strip and cut 2, 13/16" lengths to match the width of the stock peg mount. I scratched up the brass pieces on one side and did the same to the aluminum mount. I mixed up a little JB weld, put a thin coat on the brass pieces and put them behind the flat spot on the pegs. The spring pressure is perfect to hold the brass pieces while they dry in position.
The brass cuts like butter and makes an excellent base for the pegs and they are level and very secure. You really have to look to see the brass pieces and a shot of black semi gloss paint will hide them perfectly.

You can get the pegs in different anodized colors. Red, blue, silver, titanium, gold, black. The pegs are threaded on a long threaded piece that is part of the base that swivels. I used blue locktite on the threads to keep them from unscrewing although they seem like they will stay put without any Locktite.

Minor modification and the pegs are great.

Here is a link to the vendor.

Are there any vibration issues with the footpegs? They do look good.

I'll find out tomorrow on the vibration. I have a meetup about 30 miles away with a MC group.
That should give me a good idea of how they feel.
So far, there is more room in between the shifter and the peg for my racing boots. Makes shifting easier.
They fold up like the original pegs and the knurling seems to grip nicely on the tennis shoes I was wearing to the hardware store for the brass and JB Weld.

Since they unscrew from the swivel part, I can order new ones if needed to replace them if I grind them down around corners. (ya right!...ha ha )

Thanks, I kinda like the red foot pegs...LOL

I rode to work today and I really tried to feel vibration in the footpegs and couldn't. They feel like the stock ones without the rubber that moved under my shoe. And they don't stick to my shoe.
I do have a tad bit more room to shift up into higher gears and that is what I wanted.
I am very pleased with this mod and would recommend it to all.

The pegs are solid as a rock and work perfect.

I believe he's the only one so far, unless that other guy who put on the R6 Rear Sets did it as well.

Dumb question... but are these the same pegs? (different color, obviously) I sometimes get dyslexic when it comes to models/years...

Same vendor and same pegs but this is the full set of 4 pegs. I only bought the front pegs because I didn't know if the mechanism that keeps the passenger pegs locked upright would work or not.

spunky did you ever end up noticing any vibration via longer rides IE: say a 60 mile commute?

 

[Briguy453]

I use these, TwistedThrottle.com : MFW Vario Footpeg Mount, Rider (Yamaha FZ6, FZ6R, '09-'11, FZ1, '01-'11, YZF600R, R6, '99-'02, FJR1300, MT-01) - MFW.051.08.01.00 and I love em. Not nearly as expensive as rearsets, and they allow me the ground clearance I need to not scrape.

 

[CrazyCawi]

I commute and want to know if there is more or less vib

 

[Briguy453]

I don't notice any vibe, but truth to tell I didn't notice any really with the oem's either.

I never noticed any vibration from changing the pegs at all.
I hated that hollow piece of rubber. It made me feel like I was going to slip off the pegs.

Josh, I've got the same pegs as Spunky and have no vibration issues even on 200 mile trips with Sidi boots (hard thin soles).

On a side note, I did have the left peg almost unscrew itself even after using blue loctite, which nearly caused me to eat it around a corner when I shifted my weight to it and it rolled forward. Red loctite seems to have solved that particular problem.

holy moley that would scare me shitless hahah! Red locktite it is!!!! where di you guys happen to order yours?

So far the blue loctite is holding fine on my NSR50R....yes, with a rt angle grinder and a vice, these are adaptable to a Honda very easily.

I like the look of those. Where did you get them from?

 

[yamaha1812]

little fyi about 09 fz6r pegs..

hey there just found this out myself the other day! the setup for the pegs in the front are the EXACT same as the set up in the rear. so for anyone looking to get rid of their annoying oem footrest you can actually purchase passenger pegs and replace them with the bulkier front pegs.

I'm doing this on my next paycheck will post pictures when I do!
