SuzukiSavage.com - Footpegs?

cheapnewb24 Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1373 Virginia Gender:	Footpegs? 12/06/15 at 16:23:08 I broke one of my pegs, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on replacements. I found some on Ebay, but I'm not sure they're folding or not. Haven't asked the vendor. Does anyone like these? Do they fold? http://www.ebay.com/itm/S40-SAVAGE-LS650-SUZUKI-BLVD-CHROME-O-RING-FOOT-PEGS-... Opinions???

Dude. It's a thing to put your foot on. It just sits there with a foot on it. It's not a performance part and "upgrading" the footpegs won't make your bike faster, handle better or look cooler. Well, maybe the last one a little bit. Just go ride. If I were looking for a replacement, I'd just make one of the back foot pegs fit on the front. It's gonna do the same job. That or a bicycle pedal.

Uh huh, very funny Roll Eyes

The guy selling these pegs say they're more comfortable because they are smaller, thereby giving the foot slightly more room. He compares them mildly to forward controls, so it could be argued that this is a performance part Cool

Well obviously he's not going to claim the pegs are worse than the originals, right? If you want to bling your bike up, knock yourself out. Just don't kid yourself that it's a performance mod, or that you could tell the difference anyway. Stuff like that doesn't make a difference. I bet they'll go rusty once the cheap chrome gets a dose of salt. You'd be better spending the money on a few tanks of fuel, some good riding gear or a track day. But what do I know ?
I'm not trying to be mean. Just telling like I'm seeing it.
The pegs you linked to look like they fit the stock peg clevis thing so yes, they'll fold.

Reply #8 - 12/07/15 at 06:55:15 Cheep, If you were closer to me I would give you a bunch of them. My experience with the O-ring pegs is that the O-rings slide out of the grooves machined in the pegs. You might want to consider adapting the pegs from a Harley Sportster. Kenny G
