Rear peg upgrade needed

[rexracer]

Been a while since I've posted, but just got off the bike and the first think I see when I get to this site is this thread. This was my solution a couple years ago. I coudn't find anything that would work, and I had a 12" piece of 1"×2" 6063 bar in the garage, so I made these. Got luck in that I had acces to a Bridgeport milling machine to cut the outline. About 1/2 hour to cut 2 out according to measurements, then I brought them home. First, i got a 1 1/4" Forstner bit from Home depot. I drilled 5/8" deep centered for the muffler bolt, leaving 3/8" of meat, then switched to a 5/16" bit(?) for the bolt. I bolted each one on at this point, and marked for the hole for the stock footpeg bracket. I used the stock pin. I got the straight pegs cheep online, and could use almost any peg. I'd like to say that, if I could get some time on a milling machine I'd lighten it up and smooth it out, but it works, and I'll never bother. They work well, and the pegs are about 1"forward an1/2" up from the can bolt. My daughter has the biggest feet of anyone that have used them (9 womens), and i get a brush on my heel/ankle once in a while if my toes are on the pegs. Not bad.

The bar is screwed to the exhaust hole.
Did passenger feel stronger exhaust vibration?
