After a boneheaded maneuver this AM, I now have a banana'd shifter toe peg. This is on the updated Tuber shifter assembly (not the old wrap-around style). Does anybody know if the toe peg threads into the shift lever, if it is pressed in, welded on or what? At first attempt it doesn't seem like it wants to unscrew out of the shift lever- Thanks Kilroy |

I don't believe they screw on. Cut it of and drill a hole... Get a universal toe shift peg or a simple bolt and lock nut. 3/8" is what I did way back...... |

I have the 2001 style shifter on mine too. The toe peg screws on. It's probably just loc-tited on there. |

OK - I straightened the toe peg out and got it off. Does anyone know if the shaft is alum or steel? If alum I will not put it back on as it will soon snap, if it is steel it will probably be okay having been bent one cycle. It looks like it is aluminum but I can't really tell and don't have a magnet lying around Thanks Kilroy |

It's likely aluminum. I can't say I know for sure, but the original style ones were aluminum so why replace it with a heavier material as an upgrade? |

I manufactured a bagful of exact duplicate toepegs after losing/breaking too many when.....the parts manual only lists the entire arm!!! The toepeg rubber IS(!!!) available for like $3. I heard the best way to install the rubber is to boil it first to make it plyable enough to press. just sayin' |
