Steel Motorcycle Footpegs

Here's a simple little steel fabrication project.

I wanted some steel foot pegs for my KLR650. So, rather than paying $100 or so, I rummaged through my scrap bin and came up with this.

This is iteration #2. The first design left pockets where rocky mud could collect - and that's a problem when riding in the dirt. This design was too wide. I thought the extra width would give better support, and it does, but it also makes shifting difficult. The third try, like this but of stock width, is mounted on my bike now. They work well.

Overall, it's a simple project that doesn't require much in the way of time, skills or tools.

The design details are HERE
