Re: 06 636 design flaw
So let me get this straight, you cut your front peg down and leave a sharp edge on it, but because it folds in one direction (the opposite way then if the bike was falling on you flipping a stoppie BTW) you are trying to say that it's safer than having a rigid mounted 1 1/4 knurled peg?
I've broken rear sets, I've run cut pegs (and have the scar on my leg to prove it). I've also broken a peg (where the through pin is).
Best way to keep a peg, whether it be folding or not out of your back is to avoid flipping stoppies.
More dangerous than pegs are 12 bars, but I bet you had one of those too.......
I know your riding is better than your avatar, I read it on another post in this forum.
You're getting all hot over a post where you asked, "why would anyone ever buy rear sets....."
I simply offered a few reasons.

Re: 06 636 design flaw
jesus christ, do i have to break out the camera and give you a step by step. no u dont just hack the ******* peg off and leave it. specificly if you cut it down to where the peg feeler mounts into and use a grinder to round it smooth it leaves a larger (more dull) surface area than a stock or aftermarket knurled peg. no ive never ever had any bike with even so much as a round bar. im not against a round bar but i certainly would never run a flat 12 bar or a foot plate or even a tail saver or any extra metal that i dont really need thats gonna end up taking off a body part that i do need. so dont bet on me cuz youll end up broke
I can't wait till the snow melts and you can get off you couch and ride instead of stunting your keyboard.
Watch out for that enter key, it might break off in a stoppie and give you a hang nail.

Re: 06 636 design flaw
here's an easy one, take out your tape measure and tell me that your stock peg has more of a diameter than 1 1/8 - 1 1/4. So, you have more of a chance puncturing yourself with a cut stock peg than with a riding knurled one. Jesus, you don't need a camera, just a brain.....

why not spend 50-80 bucks more a pair and have something that you wont have to replace again

Re: 06 636 design flaw
i knew i had a pic somewhere.
you can see that cutting it to the feeler mount leaves a larger surface area then the pegs normal end and its not haggard jagged if you grind it smooth
and here you can see that the pegs dont even come close to hitting the ground when u drop your bike.

Re: 06 636 design flaw
i'm with neil on this one..
buttttt i asked about the vortexes, anyone got some recent experience with em? i had em 2 years ago on my f4i and the brake pedal kept breaking on the pivor point if i stomped the brake too hard. is that still the case? they look the same now, but maybe the material is thicker ?

I've had them on my 04 636 for 4 years now, not a single issue.
Oh and Teach had them for a year before that and we know how that clown likes to pitch bikes.

Re: 06 636 design flaw
A friend of mine and, also an awesome rider, broke his stock rearset bracket just warming up his bike and stepped on the foot brake and it broke. No impact involved at all. 05/06 brackets are just weak. Be careful.

Re: 06 636 design flaw
story's like these are total bullshit. sorry to be a dick but no piece of metal will just snap like that without being previously damaged. i know 636 cast aluminum rearsets are fragile but to believe that a guy just stepped on his brake and snapped the rearset is completely ******* ridiculous.
