Anyone managed to break a footpeg mount - 12'+

My 2013 model did today. Sheered the top bolt off the mounting bracket, and also broke the bracket as well. Need to remove, straighten/repair/replace, and drill out snapped bolt which will surely be a great deal of fun!

Its the upper bolt, so the peg is actually hanging down. Must have been weighting it a bit hard, being the HUGE bloke that I am!

Right foot kept slipping off the peg and just generally didn't feel right. Thought I'd either bent the peg or torn the sole out of my boot, but ended up being the actual mounting bracket that bolts to the frame. I'll snap some pics!

Broken

Should be an easy fix job for a bloke of your calibre mate. What grade bolts are in there? 12.9?

Hopefully u didnt red loctite those or it could be painful.i guess if it goes tits up you could tackweld it at top.my 13 has welded brackets,not bolted,which annoyed me...until i saw your pic!
Looks like my broken standbolt which i had smothered in red loctite(before i had at it with the powertools and the curses started flowing!)
Hopefully your bolt is more cooperative

I'm guessing they've been loctited from the factor. Going to be fun. Actual bracket has started to crack and sheer away too.

I think the loctite will be the easy part. Just make sure you hit it with some heat..

On my 15 they sure were locktited. But a bit of heat will take care of that.

Hopefully its standard loctite.Red loctite takes something like 600degC to release.byebye paint and any plastic in the near vicinity,also oil and grease.i think theres a product called freeze release or similar for red but havent used it myself...i have however tried the wifes creme brulee gas torch to no avail!
