Foot pegs interchangeable with other bikes? Dirt bike pegs?
Hi all,
Long story short: My bike now has superbike bars and, now that I have more weight on my feet, I can't help but notice that the footpegs are very small and slippery. Not confidence-inspiring at all. I'd like to put something more like dirt bike pegs on it, but I haven't been able to figure out if they're interchangeable with any other bikes. Anyone ever done this before? Ideas? Thanks! |
Anything is interchangeable with enough time, patience and planning.

I installed VFR pegs on mine because i liked the look better.
Find VTR1000 footpegs on ebay and it will most likely have an interchange chart showing all the models they fit. Then just find a set you like from the model you like. I think i paid $6 shipped for chinese VFR pegs. They are still working great! James |
beware of those really cheap chinese pegs. I broke one on my R6 mid-corner during a trackday. Scared the shit out of me. Same thing happened to my buddy.

I have aftermarket pegs on the SH now and hate them.. too small diameter, too slippery.. almost considering going back to stock.. or find another option |

James I have seen an ad for "Front Pedals Footrests Foot Pegs For HONDA VFR 800 1998-2006 VTR1000 1997-2005" so guessing VFR 800? |

Many of the ebay listings cross list vfr pegs with vtr so not sure what the difference is if the seller sees it as the same application.
I have the ones in Eriks second ad post and they have done well on cold pouring rain nights for me. |

I have the same set! They are awesome! My bike doesn't see track duty or supermoto duty, so i'm hoping they do fine :)
Mine have been on for about a year. You can't change the rubber, it is riveted on, unlike the oem ones which are screw on. James |

I am looking the way how to lower them, and this is one of the options. I donīt want rotating ones, just solid pegs, ideally similar to stock. |

I "think" the only lower option is the buell offering or Cycle Pirates 360 pegs |

The pegs we were discussion are direct fit and replacement of slightly different design, but not lower.

youīre right, it is just optical, difference is minimal, if any.

I use OEM CBR600 F4I pegs and love it, less bulky look and work really well, fits perfectly!
|
I will definitely go for buell pegs, seems like the best option for lowering. Thanks for reminder :)
