Yep the left one( gear shift side). Apparently the 200 has 2 different springs so the leg comes out the on the same end. The XT has thr same spring for both sides so the leg ends up on the opposite side when flipped. Just takes an 3/32"-1/8" drill bit about an 1/8" deep hole right in the corner and the entire peg and spring slip right in. Nice secure footing now.
A longer MSR shifter is going to be on my list now though. With boots that lost inch(approx.) of space is noticeable.

I have a stainless steel set made by the guy in the Czech republic. He is on ADVrider XTforum all the time. I have not ridden with them yet as still getting the bike in shape. I do like the feel of them and the grip they provide. Might be a little rough on the soles of your boots, but they will wear smoother in time.

Hey guys

I also had the same problem with uncomfortable stock pegs, and bought the TW200 pegs.
Fitted them today and went for a test ride. Compared to originals the TW pegs are awesome.
But I'm still not quite satisfied... Minor "problems" like the tips for boot grip ain't sharp enough (for me).
So I have ordered Bosley pegs (those custom made stainless steel ones). We'll see how they feel, I bet they are much better than TW pegs

One more problem I need a solution to - what longer gear lever to buy? I want to replace the original one as it's too short now (as you probably already know).
jjrider - you said an MSR lever. Would this be longer and fit an XT?

Cheers,

The problem with those cheap pegs is that they are not propper centered.
Usualy wider pegs need a set off to the back of the midle.If you don´t respect that then your feet will not fit any more.Then you need a longer gear leaver......
If you order Bosley ones(the best on the market on that style) remember that set off to the rear.

I saw some pics of his, they had the same offset as the ones I have.

The MSR levers do fit the XT, when you order them they should ask for model #. I believe they are the same for YZ's and possibly WR's.

Just take an angle grinder to the teeth of the TW200 pegs, they'll sharpen up to however much needed. Remember if they are sharp your boots will get really chewed up, depending on how soft the soles are.

When I installed my Bosley Stainless pegs I found my original pivot pin was pretty rough and hard to remove. I decided to replace them with new ones as I didn't want them to break. All fitted now, look and feel great. Still not running due to CDI so cannot speak to how they work with the shifter.

Got my Bosley pegs on Saturday and immediately replaced the TW200 pegs. The difference is huge! Bosley pegs hold the boot very firmly. And they are not too sharp to tare the boot apart...
So the Bosley pegs are well worth the cost
Now I need a gear shift lever...

Do have link to the Bosley peg? When i ride my shoe is pointed downwards most of the time and i only use the edge of the peg, i only use the top of the peg when riding standing up, and the sole of the boot is so hard that you dont feel the peg.

You need to contact him, I don't remember. Wasn't too bad but quality is NOT cheap.
