Pegs for a bigfoot (size 14) - any recommendations?
Sooo, the tiny little man-boy pegs on my new/old 91 XT600E are not exactly inspiring confidence with my new size 14 Fox Comp 5's, so I am looking for something with more surface area. Being new to the dual sport/actually fitting things to my bike game I am in the dark about which pegs will be compatible with the old girl.

I am currently looking at Pivot Pegz or Roc Stompa's (both Aussie brands, so local) but they obviously don't make them specifically for 20 year old bikes.

Has anyone had experience with these or other brands of pegs for those of us with flippers for feet?

Cheers

Matt

I don't have an angle grinder though, might have to ask around.

Just take your pegs to a local fabricator and have them weld on another 10 sizes

TW200 pegs do fit
I just bought some TW200 pegs from a seller in Hong Kong, shipped to the UK and they still only cost £12. They went straight on my 2003 XT600E without a problem. I had previously bought some YZF ones (from the same seller) and could have made them fit by re-shaping them slightly with an angle grinder as mentioned above and drilling out the hole in the footpeg hangers to match the holes in the pegs.

The TW200 ones are definitley recommended, much more comfy when standing - and I'm only size 11 !!

Regards - Alastair.

£12 sounds good to me - any chance of a link to where you got them?

thanks - Drew

TW200 pegs on ebay
Hi there, this is the link to the auction that I bought them in.

Black Steel Foot Pegs For Yamaha PW 50 80 TW 200 on eBay (end time 19-Apr-10 19:00:13 BST)

This seller has 4 different shops with different names but the ads all look exactly the same. I still can't quite believe they were only £12 with free postage from Hong Kong!

Regards - Alastair.

Yarp, we have those here as well AUD$20. I hate using PayPayl for, well, pretty much everything but I guess you can't go too far wrong for 20 bucks. Obviously you can, but let's not think about that at the moment!

So I ordered a set of these yesterday but received an email this morning advising me that delivery might be delayed due to a volcano! Just as well I'm in no rush for them.

I picked up a set of these for a WR/YZ426 a few weeks ago and had to remove just a little material for them to fit with said angle grinder. They have three times the surface area of the stock pegs. I have had to learn to move my foot a bit farther back on the kick starter with a size ten boot - tried to remove my toes when the bike went dead at a traffic light as they caught on the new pegs

I have a pair of these on their way over.
They do seem very pushy about the feedback they want left, detailed instructions etc

Can anyone recommend a bigger rear brake pedal/lever?
I find the stock one too small and my boots are getting burnt from the engine casing

Mine arrived today and will probably be fitted by/on the weekend. It was despatched on the 20th, so not a bad wait really, considering the distance and the disruption to flights. Comments on usage to follow.
