Pillion pegs?

**motor_mayhem** · 7th September 2011, 23:13

Hi All,

Anyone know where I could get generic pillion pegs? ones that attach to the swing arm would be great as I don't think there are bars on the subframe suitable for attachment.

Thanks.

I got a pair of those from Peter Grinter Motorcycles in Blenheim when I was there late last year.
Just generic after markety type stuff around $40 give or take $10 maybe, don't really remember.
I dropped the brackets and bolted them to a bar bolted to my bashplate as highway pegs for the DR.

I would have thought pegs bolted to the swingarm would be quite dangerous, your legs would be moving about different to the rest of your body. They wouldn't be a sound foundation to balance yourself on.

Plenty of bikes have 'em mounted to the s/a mate. While it's not ideal...it's ok for shortish rides.
