Depends if you trust the dyno. Some are notoriously optomistic.

hey Dave what foot pegs are you running on your bike as Buckets have to have folding pegs dont they?

erm some emgo after market ones with some nylon stuffed up the end. I just got some Honda roadbike mounts that they bolt on & put them through the home made hangers. Then drilled & tapped a locating hole into the hangers to run a bolt to stop them rotating.

im going to make some hangers to just trace my rs hangers and then get my uncle to use his fancy tracey picture thingy machine that cuts out your picture and run some folding pegs ill have a look for some have some motox ones but they pretty ugly pegs

yeah that's what I did, but with a vivid marker & went & saw a mate with a bandsaw. I got a grown up to use it as they scare me.

yeah i built some riser plates for my sv that way did you lower your peg height down or still running at the rs height im probably going to build myne on a plate with 2 differnt locations 1 at normal RS height and 1 slightly lower if I need to get some leg room

Have a look at a picture of Mick Doohan's bike Adjustable can be real easy and light.

I fact just look at it. As it is beautiful in its purposefulness.OK it doesn't have the beauty of any Bimota, Aprillia, Ducati supermono or Cagiva 500 gp notice how those bikes are all Italian.
in fact have a look at any works bike MX or Moto GP it is amazing some of the little touches.

ya know I don't think MickyD had to ride on kart tracks with folding pegs. I've made my pegs on my NF4 slightly lower than the swing arm & they only just drag as the bike is so narrow. Just can't tuck up as tight as the 5" nothing 16yrold jockeys they were made for.

**Ivan** · 13th January 2012, 11:23

yeah theres so much height up to the swing arm on my one I think I can go down to there easy without them touching

Dave it wasn't the foot pegs it was the adjustable bracket. Have another look at it. Although the peg sure is pretty and worth another look.mmmm.....

My pegs are rear sets Daytona ones for a rz250 brought cheap and very yummy same spline as the MB as well.
Although there is nought wrong with alloy pipe as long as its thick enough bung in the end some Knurling and drilled for the pivot of a rear peg.

The MB5 tank in the 2nd pic is a Dummy it has the std oil tank underneath serving as the fuel tank 1.1 liter goes a surprising distance. Don't try that a Ruapuna though.
the plates could have done with some more love though. 4mm plate stolen from a guy building as jetboat. The scilencer is igigation tube 1.6mm thick I can't remember if it was 75mm or 100mm.

Probably helped that Mick didnt have a rear brake lever mounted either.

I think he would have rather had a leg that functioned. But as you are winding me up, and who doesn't enjoy being wound up.

Honda occasionally let the non Demi gods out on his beast. So they didn't wreak it as they were for Mick when it was finished with they used to do this.
The second one is the reference for the set up as per Mick. The first picture above shows the gear lever it has the same set up and he didn't have enough thumbs to work the gear lever from his handle bars as well.
