And before everyone shouts, "Mustang!!" yes, I know about Mustang's footpegs. :thumbsup
My question is, are there pegs that might give even a little more leg room? A 1.25" drop is reasonable, although I'm currently running pegs off a WR250, which are quite below stock, and I could go even lower. I'm pretty tall (shorter than some here though, apparently!), and standing on this bike is a little unnatural. I plan to raise the bars as well, so that might help.
The other issue is I don't want to spend 5% of the bike's value just on footpegs - the cheaper the better, and something that can be bodged on would be perfect! Any ideas out there?
if the bike has stock handlebars on it still , theres your problem with standing .
The OEM's are swept back and down .
A good cheap replacement is a set of Moose ATV bend bars for 20 bucks and being steel they don't get all buzzzy like Pro tapers do . Makes a huge difference in standing while riding .
I have them on two of my tiggers .
I have pro tapers are on tigger 2 and are very nice too , but you need some risers with them and they buzz . And you are over a hundred bones before you can ride it .
Mustang, my ATV moose bars just arrived from Dennis Kirk, are you using the bar end weights?
There`s no threaded end inserts, just wondering if they vibrate without them?
I could get some inserts welded in or use some aftermarket rubber inserts that expand when you screw the bolt in.
i made some expanding inserts out of aluminum for mine , but yeah the rubber ones work too , to hold the bar ends on .
also don't forget to drill the bars for the little locator nubs on the tiggers controls . I dont reccomend removing the nubs from the controls as they will tend to rotate on ya if you do.
Thanks, thats me sorted for the weekend. :hat10

:iagree
if ya do do that. if you can get some of that vulcanised rubber (self-amalgamating) tape that sticks to its self a couple or 3 wraps of that and they stay tight again. dont ask me how i know this :thumbsup
Gonna drill the new bars.
Good idea with the double sided tape though :thumbsup
I moved the amalgamating tape chat to General Discussions. This Moderator stuff is cool :XXsunsmile
Good Lord what have you done :doubt

The Force is with me.. (as long as Mustang says so anyway.. ) :hat10
So... back on topic, what I think I'm going to do is install the proper bars for my height first, and see how much extra standing room I need. Then, weld in plates to my existing footpegs to drop them the requisite amount. Then jump on them to make sure they hold up! :thumbsup
