    FXR peg bracket help

    I broke the right peg bracket on my fxr and I'm having a bit of trouble getting it off.

    In the pics the red circled bolts are the stuck ones and the rest show how broken it is.

    Does it look fixable/weldable? My dad says if I can get the bracket off he can drill out the stuck bolts.

    Have you rounded out the stuck capscrews? If not bolt it back onto the bike and have another go, they'll be tight but they should move, I think they are loctited on.
    If you have munted the capscrews try bolting it back to the bike anyway and see if you can get them moving with a punch.
    Pretty sure Giggle_button has offered to help with welding elsewhere so worst case see if he'll let you bring the whole lot in either with the caliper still attached if you can't be bothered bleeding the brakes from scratch or just undo the line at the banjo and bleed it up once you have the bracket back in one piece. He will be able to get them out.
    I used to have a few of these rear sets but somebody keeps borrowing them and smashing them, if you plan on crashing very often think about making a set of rearsets out of 10mm ali plate, come and have a look at Mt Wellington on Sunday if you want to have a look at how it's done, there are about 17 different variations floating around the pits, the stock rear sets may as well be made of cheese.

    The bolts aren't rounded yet but we used a pipe on the allen key for more leverage. If we pushed any harder it would round off.

    And I've got Gigglebutton's details for when I manage to get it off.

    Making a set would be interesting. My dad made these to replace the mirrors. Click image for larger version.

    You could try spraying the thread with wd40, let that set in for a bit then give the allen key a sharp whack with a hammer.

    Nice work.
    If he is capable of such a good job there try and con him into making replacement brackets for the pegs.
    As Henk says the standard ones are shit.

    Unfortunately that still didn't work. I think the way the bracket has bent is what's holding the bolts.

    He seemed interested when I mentioned that other people make ones. I'd like to see how they're done at Mt. Wellington on Sunday and take some pics to give him an idea of what they end up looking like.

    What time and where is the event on Sunday?

    Kartsport Mt Wellington

    Tainui Rd.

    Gates open 9 both Saturday and Sunday, if the weather keeps going the way it is I'd say the numbers on Saturday will be well down.

    Had a look at a few. Basically a triangle of metal with a few holes drilled in? Seems easy enough

    Ah, but did you introduce yourself to anyone?
    But yeah, I think that's pretty much it, but what the hell would I know

    No I didn't. I'm not good enough at talking to strangers in person out of no where so I just moseyed around having a gander at the interesting bikes.

    Ah, but it's not out of nowhere. You're at a bucket meet looking at bikes.
    Don't worry, I know about being shy. I'm getting over it slowly, but still like some quiet time on my own, to totally remonstrate myself on how badly I've just ridden or actually just watch some bikes on race day. (so I often just wander off and find that flagging's great to do both lol)
    Next time, say hi, we can be a friendly bunch.

    Yes but as you did not talk to anyone you could not have learnt of the animal sacrifice to the triangle god required to create such pieces of metal in his image.

    Oops I have said too much to the uninitiated. I must run to the shrine and grovel for forgiveness before I am struck down

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    I'm sure the cnc milling machine takes care of all the hocus pocus
