securing back pegs...

i recently started doing wheelies on the passenger pegs. comes up really nice, but should i be worried about the pegs folding? ive been doing wheelies on the back pegs now for a couple of weeks without any incidents, but i have been thinking about securing the pegs so they cant fold......any suggestions?

its a '01 R6 by the way.....

TIA daawwwwwgz......

just use duct tape around them. that way they wont fold standing on them but they will if it goes down. safest way to do it.

i got a good theory for that, i just use the left rear, i got another right side rear and put it on backwards on the right side, i supose it would work both if you flip both sides that way they fold foward,

mines like that on my 900, dunno bout other bikes but works for mine, suppose the pipe mount would have to be worked out on some bikes though, like i said i got only the left rear so works good for me, it even folds if you crash

How can the peg fold when you're standing on it?

different bikes have diferent peg angles some have tendency to fold right up at 11 or 12 oclock

hmmmm.....i like the duct tape idea, dont really wanna weld em out in case i need to fold them for some reason (like when i gotta get my piece through the front door to my apt).....sounds like it will work fine and when beyatches ask why i have duct tape on my rear pegs, i have yet another excuse to terrorize the elderly on the 6.

thanks for the replies!
