What do you people do about your foot peg brackets snapping on the 06 636? It seems like every time you drop it the damn things snap.

 

Cut a inch off each peg make em shorties...

That is if your running a decent cage

 

The cheap way is like he said, cut ur pegs a little. The baller way is to get HoHey rearset brackets. 185 shipped at hoheydesigns.com. Just got my set in the mail.

 

the flaw is dropping your bike . naw just kidding it's the cage that lets your pegs hit the ground so like said above cut the pegs so they dont hit the ground when you crash

 

I went with woodcraft rearsets and have been rockin them on two 06 bikes
Dont even have to cut them down, they are SOLID
they have stood up to multiple death speed high sides, and low sides
never tried the hohey, an dont know if i ever will after running these

 

i have vortex rear sets and there solid mounted and i run a si cage havent broken 1 yet , and there not cut down. there jus a smigin shaved down on the end at a 45 degree angle / <--- kinda like that, but still full length.


+2 OMR on the dropin ur bike

 

im going to bootleg some brackets. i got a guy that fabbricates, cuts, welds aluminum. does a lot of custom brackets for engine parts. someone get me design pattern!!!

 

arent you braking footbrake pedals?? i had a set on my old f4i and after a few weeks the footpedal broke, twice!

 

i cant understand why you would pay any amount of money for aftermarket rearsets when you can just remove the peg feelers and cut 1/4 inch off the end grind it smooth and never worry about it again. takes 10 mins and doesnt cost a dime

 

Folding front pegs vs solid mount......

Cast foot pegs vs billet...

Cast brackets vs billet...

NEVER breaking a peg or bracket and have to stop riding....

 

+1

 

i did just what he said and im still rockin the purdy blue powdercoat i put on them. "the stockones." he's a dick but he knows his ****. ^ ^ ^

love ya bro!

 

+1, just cout em donw a little and ur fie... even an ich cut off youl never feel it gone or miss it...

 

why would you want your peg to not fold up when it lands on your back if you flips a stoppie

who gives a **** what your peg or bracket is made out of as long as it doesnt break

i have NEVER broken a peg or bracket on the last 12 bikes that ive owned including an 05 and an 06 636 because i cut 1/4 inch of the peg down on my bikes.

i however have seen many ppl with fixed pegs on aftermarket rearsets bend there rearsets and have to stop riding to bend them back and then eventually they get so bent out of shape they end up breaking.

 

Ben are u drunk?

 

Um rear pegs might hit you if you flip a stoppie..... front peg, highly doubt it.

Cast brackets are a WEAK point and maybe you're not riding hard enough or heavy enough to have a problem....
Just saying, seen it happen. I bet you think that 03-04 636 forks are fine too because "you" never broke a set....

 

c4 has steel ones for 125 shipped

 

i love my c4 steel sets. before that i ran stock with chopped pegs no problem. running rear axle sliders saves rearsets. mine only broke when my rear axle sliders were NOT installed.

 

now ur just being retarded. ive had 12 bikes, dont let my avatar fool you i ride plenty hard. how about you cut your peg down like i said and go toss your bike down the street at 35mph like i did recently and when you dont break a rearset then come tell me i was right. if the peg doesnt touch it cant break the rearset, when you cut off the 1/4 inch on the end and remove the peg feeler it wont touch the ground as long as you have a cage on your bike. and no i dont "think" the 636 forks are fine, but i KNOW the rearsets dont need to be replaced on any bike if you cut the pegs down.

ps. ive had the front peg in my back so i know first hand that it can and will hit you when you flip a stoppiel.

 

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.
