Due to the fact I cannot make a slow speed right hand turn(Yea I layed her down ). I busted the right side foot peg and decided to order the American Sport Bike scalloped foot pegs in Titanium finish and bases.

I just put some 200 grit sandpaper on the concrete and started sanding away till i was close to where i thought they should be, then used 400 grit then 800 grit. Not a lot of material to be removed. These are the before and after.

The 360 ones are likely the cycle pirates. I have them on my bike but didn't use the swivel part.

Yes that's the ones, how are they ? How comes you didn't use the swivel part ? |

I like them quite a bit. Much more grip (I was constantly slipping off the peg, not anymore) I bought the lowering swivels as well, but they seem to protrude so much that I kept landing on teh swivel and not the peg, so I pulled them and installed as shown above... Love them. |

I have a set too. Liked them so much I bought a spare set of pegs and mounts for possible 'incidents' at the track. Just used a file to reshape the mounts so that the pegs sit at 90 degrees to bike. Takes like 5 minutes. The hardest part was getting the pin and spring back in, until I figured out I could just use a wooden dowel to keep the spring lined up, then just tap in the pin (knocking the dowel out the other side) and good to go. |

I like where the stockers were located so I kept them in this position... Just wanted a better peg. |

Seriously, I never thought about that. But I have used the four hands, hammer and screwdriver! |

On rare occasions, I have a moment.. Short piece of 3/8" dowel (or close to diameter of pin) just short enough to allow you to slip the peg mount into the bracket. I only had two hands to work with, and I was getting pissed until the 'if I could just keep the spring lined up while I slip the pin in' thought gelled into an actual idea. (The dowel now lives in my toolbox just for that purpose) |
