I need a foot peg!

So, I broke my right footpeg. I would like to upgrade to the Touratech pegs, but they say they won't fit 2005-on Tigers.

What other options are there? If nothing else, does anyone have an extra peg lying around?

The pillion pegs will fit for the moment, then find a breakers yard.
Baxters always seem highly rated for parts your side of the pond!

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Any other suggestions for aftermarket pegs that are a bit more "robust."

Took a tip from ADVRider and bought a set of used Buell Ulysses pegs for $25 shipped from a member. The Triumph dealer wanted $42 for just the bottom piece of the stock footpeg. I'll post up pics and a report when I get them installed.

The Touratech rallye pegs do fit the 2005 - I fitted a pair a few months ago. It was necessary to grind a few thou off the underside to allow the brake to return to its rest position. The gearchange side required no modification. They look great, and are more comfortable for me, as a 6'4" bloke.

I just acquired a set of the Buell Ulysses pegs that a fellow had modified to fit a Hayabusa and they fit right on with no problems. Same type of grinding mods described in earlier posts and the bushings were the correct size to eliminate the slop associated with the larger pin hole on the Buell. And I've got leg room now.

Good stuff, guys, thanks! If I don't like the Ulysses pegs I'll pony-up for the Touratechs.

I fitted the Touratech pegs on my '06.

Touratech does warn that they dont fit however a simple mod changes that. All you need do is file down the "T" metal piece under the peg platform (at right angles to the platform) to the point where it will allow a fit - and only on the right hand side (the problem is that the "T" part bumps up against the footbrake).
It took me about 30 - 40 minutes using a regular hand file.
The pegs work very well and are a nice improvement from stock. No more slipping off the pegs when riding in muddy conditions and much more comfortable when in standing position.
