Passenger footpegs

[sabocat]

So what have people used to replace the riciculous passenger footpegs on the 05-06? I am getting a new exhaust so I won't be needing those huge clunky, chrome things. I have seen some pics that have different pegs. What have you found that works well/looks decent?

personally, none at all work the best for me! :-D

chrome, what chrome?

and sv 700......what u talking bout man, a pimped out 650? do tell?

now to the real question. no clue. i have the stock pegs on still. sorry, useless.

Just remove 'em. If you get really ambitious and wanna paint or powdercoat the frame, you can grind off the mounting tabs, but since they're black, they really don't show.

Makes the bike look much better.

For all of youse that just take them off: hey, I'm with you aesthetically speaking. But let's say you be rollin' through town and happen upon some scrupcious, mc-loving, tasty-pop? You put her (if that's your inclination) on the tank like a Hindustani family popping out for some groceries? Or what?

It would be nice to have a couple of pegs in your tankbag just in case--something other than the martial arts weaponry currently attached. Especially since I plan on dispensing with the stock exhaust system at the first opportunity (what does that thing weigh? 40lbs? Plus it bakes my ass. Plus it justifies those awful footpegs).

But even still, say you rollin' with no pegs and you haven't quite worked up to grinding all that hideous mettalica off. Have you worked up any camouflage?

SV 700 Superbike--is what it says it is: superbike legal SV 650. It's a racer, not a streetbike. I.e.:

GSXR 750 front end revalved and sprung by Lindemann Engineering (which was really a waste of money--the revalving that is),
3mm overbore motor with JE pistons, carillo rods, and (living dangerously here) stock crank that has been cryo treated. Milled head, ported and polished tracts, stage 2 webcams, steel valves (stock valves couldn't handle the cam and pounded themselves into a fine metallic powder aided by a couple of bad valve springs), etc. etc.

Unfortunately, I am not really racing anymore, so I spend my time pimping my brand new S3. Being new to pimping, I am calling on all you pimps to give a novice some guidance. I am building a sort of streetfighter that is really more of a streetracer. I have most of the rear end sorted, but I have this footpeg problem...

my stock pegs remain for the exact reason you mentioned. also the reason i removed my seat cover. gotta be ready to pick up a worthy passenger.

Well.....they're good frame sliders. I bought dr_gallups after mine got wiped out (thanks very much). I'll try to replace the foot pegs with a nylon insert.
