Title: Footpegs
Post by: Fuzzy on 12 March 2014, 09:11:52 pm: I'm contemplating trying some different front footpegs instead of the standard ones which feel a bit clumsy and large.

I heard a few people have fitted R1/R6 footpegs to their Thous - does this mean they will fit the 600 too? Anybody tried?

Plenty of cheap patterns found on Ebay:

More expensive than what you were getting at but can make the bike more custom to your needs

These rearsets look great and about half the price of Gilles, still a heck more than the r1 pegs though.

Post by: Fuzzy on 13 March 2014, 02:45:05 pm: Thanks Ponkster - I ordered a pair yesterday but it wasn't even a tenner so not a big deal, should've been more patient though doh!

At one time there used to be an abundance of cheap aftermarket pegs for the FZS600, now there seem to be few about, even on ebay.

There are however more for the FZS1000 about, wonder if they'd fit? I thought the standard FZS1000 pegs were the same as the FZ600's :\

Like these?

Post by: papercutout on 16 March 2014, 08:56:08 pm: I actually use rear peg on the right side of my bike, with the rear brake. It's obviously far smaller, but literally the only time I've noticed any problems with it is when I am rolling the bike backwards. Your ankle can catch on it, and it doesn't move because it's bolted in rather than sprung...

So, don't lose faith in the R1 one's, if they fit, you might be happy. If so, post a pic of them fitted, I'm intrigued.
