Well I've given up searching for an OEM pair. New with the brackets They'll run about $150 and used hasn't become available. So I went ahead and did the best job I could in making them. I used some grade 8 nylon nuts, washers and bolts, then tested out the comfort level, then a test ride. Cost is just under $7. Seems to work just fine, I've gotten suggestions to dip them in a rubber coating or spray them with line-x, let me know what you think of them

Be careful these don't catch on anything. Street riding shouldn't be a problem but off road is another story. Line-X is probably your most durable coating. Gates rubber hose might be another option if you can find a nice fitting ID. That would be replaceable too. Good luck and be safe.

I am using a set of these as highway pegs on my VStrom. The price is hard to beat.

Mine came with the pillion pegs missing. I was thinking of the universal folding pegs below mounted on a triangular alloy plate to give the same position as the originals. maybe 4 or 5mm thick alloy, 4mm might not be sturdy enough? What ya rec'n?

Good advice here! Snagging hasn't been an issue so far on the trails, but I imagine it'd be a bad tumble if it happened, so I supposed I'll keep my eyes out for a different option in the mean time. Those aftermarket pegs probably would've been a better option because they swivel!

I have had one issue with these. Waddling through some rough terrain was annoying because the angle I was at had my pegs bumping into the backside of my knee. If this proves to be a common occurrence, I'll pick up some aftermarket.

I'm keeping my eyes out for some one still!

Looks like a good solution to me!



I'd be wary of those fixed bolts. I wouldn't want to get impaled on them in a crash.

Aye m8, one of them through the calf could smart a tad.
