Anyone managed to break a footpeg mount - 12'+

In other news, I ordered the replacements on a Wednesday (inc some assorted spare gaskets/o-rings/consumables). Had a message on Friday that they had arrived. I'll get around the shop in the next couple days to pick them up..

No rush though as I really need to do a big maintenance run. Suspension service both ends, regrease all the bearings, etc.

Turned out to be very very simple in the end. Went and got some good cobalt drill bits and together with quality bolt removing tools the broken bolt stubs came out easy.

Happy days Nath!

How are your brackets looking? Showing any signs of fatigue? You going to replace them? How many hours on your steed now?

Brackets were Roo Ted. The bracket holding the footpeg that snapped off was pretty bent and twisted. The bracket on the other side was showing signs of spreading too (the gap where the footpeg mounts and the securing pin goes through had spread open a good 5mm).

Replaced both, also replaced the footpegs, pins, clevis pins etc.

Side note the footpeg pins from a Yamaha YZ will fit the gasser mounts but only new "un spread" mounts as the YZ pins are about 5mm shorter.

I still haven't put mine on.

Been getting through the bike giving it some TLC. The more I dig the more things I keep finding that are on the verge of being worn out. It's been a hard 5500kms for the young lass!
