    Check mine out on Sunday if you want to see how to do it. My adjustable rearsets came with folding footpegs.
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    If you do use fixed pegs on the adjustable rearsets I was advised to hacksaw the bolts securing them so they brake off in case of a crash.

    Yeah, hacksaw'd bolts. . . too much & they will break while you are riding which is of course dangerous. Too little & they won't break at all.

    How would you scrutineer a hidden bolt?

    Again, some kart tracks have rules about folding pegs & they don't want to hear arguments. Their tracks, their rules.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Hacksawed bolts and parts that break when crashed, brilliant! Ive forwarded your post to HRC team boss, his reply as follows "all4A50s-son, thanking you for excellent suggestion, we shall visit Yamaha garage tonight"

    Folding pegs just about sorted, machined down the lever shaft (with an internal M8 bolt through the guts) and presto they fit in the peg clamp bracket on the rearsets.
    now they are even the right way around; which made people laugh last Easter.....

    This advise I got was from a mechanic of some thirty years experience, who has worked on his share of very cool race machines.

    For scrutineers I would always carry a replacement set to show them if required.

    Expensive lesson for me last year.

    What's happening about these. Just realised tonight that I forgot to ask when we were down there, as I like bling.

    Simple answer is nothing at the moment.
    I've just looked on the suppliers website and the listed price has gone up (~$80 nzd).
    I can email them and see what deal i can break (if I've got a few people keen on the old price; might be a little less with the high NZD) but this might be a dead duck now. Sorry.

    But for those of you looking for something to fit; try a 2009 zx6r

    Hmm, I thought there was a limit to 150cc 4 stroke and 100cc 2 stroke, but if you're saying I can ride a 600, I have to admit, I'll probably come last as it may be a bit big for the track
