    something like this would probably work:

    Unless you're going for new rubber on the stock pegs (best for long rides), in which case you should just click on the banner above.

    I used gsxr footpegs on mine, and they required quite a bit of modification.

    Re: footpegs

    Looks clean, dude. How does she run?

    I like the turn signals - simple and still look effective.

    If you're going for that look, and you're willing to modify a bit, you can pick any footpegs you want.

    Like I said, the gsxr pegs worked well after an hour or so of grinding on them.

    Re: footpegs

    hey thanks for the reply .

    how that she runs? ...................in the garage she runs pretty well,on the road i have no idea .winter here with 2 feet of snow and snowing again today . :(

    i have bought it last summer not running and in bad shape .

    i have done carb,motor refresh, carb wet set ,carb synch,fork seal ect ect .

    does the transmission work well .............i dont know

    first project like this so it is mostly for fun and learning .

    my 2 last bike was triumph daytona and had the worst experience in my life with those 2 .

    now i just wanted something different for cheap .

    bike cost me 500$
    so far i spent about 1200$ .

    it is not the bike that cost me the most lol .

    i bought a sandblaster cabinet yesterday ,a powder coat gun , i also building a powder coat oven 4x4x5 . i brought my house oven to my garage so had to buy a new one to the wife hahahaha .

    having fun so far and practicing my patience

    Re: footpegs

    for now the biggest thing i have trouble with is choosing the color of the powder coat for the bike .

    cant decide wich one .


    since i never powder coat and it will be my first attempt i would prefer a one stage process but not a lot of choice .

    so far i like :

    this one seems to be the best choice for the look i want

    http://powder365.com/store/index.php?ma ... cts_id=206


    http://powder365.com/store/index.php?ma ... cts_id=504

    this one is sick but more compex

    http://powder365.com/store/index.php?ma ... cts_id=461


    the color i would like the most is ORANGE METALLIC


    if you have ideas please share


    thanks
