I was up in Boston about a year ago & snapped a right side footpeg & no dealer in the area had one. However, I was in fact able to use the passenger peg as a temporary solution to get back to NYC. The pin IS smaller & there is no spring to keep it from folding up, but the pin head is just wide enough to work if you absolutely have to. I wouldn't advise riding very hard, but it is a viable "limp home" solution.

Oh yes, I used the passenger peg to get back to a dealer -- about 60 miles. But the loose pin meant that it wouldn't stay horizontal and would flop down if any weight at all was put on it (not something you want happening while riding). A friendly local tree donated just the right size slice of itself to wedge in there and keep the peg from folding down until I could replace it properly.
