I was wondering what they are used for ? I mean I've seen them on a few bikes....and I've seen a 2nd person use them on full size bikes (like doing tandem rolling stoppies) But I'm wondering what else riders might be using them for ? any Pics ? Thanks guys

 

the only use we've come up with them is for extra protecion like frame sliders for the fairings.... on our bike with front and rear pegs the plastics have never touched concrete adn it's been wrecked a ton...nevver tried much tandem stuff ona fiddy yet

 

ive thought of adding them just to have them on there. ive thought of using them for a grab bar during standup circles. where can i get some pegs thatll fit on the front?

 

well.. you need a longer axle for pegs on the front....when i did troys i had to use a rear axle that i shortened and welded back together

 

is the rear axle the same diameter? is so how much did you shorten it? and what did you use for front pegs? bmx? if so do they drag like the rears?

 

yea same diameter , shortened it 2 inches... but if you have aftermarket fork legsyou have to use a stock rear axle and use washers to space teh pegs out pst the step in the leg

 

no im on stock legs. but did you use bmx pegs or 50 stunt pegs?

 

Thanks guys.... I put them on my xr80 front and rear....Not even knowing what I'd ever use them for ....LOL They are right there (as gixxer601 said) to do an axel grab or somethin...... I've put my feet on them while attempting a stoppie (took some more weight off the bike ....BUT....made my body feel unstable if I was to go over or something it would be alot harder to bail )
Anyways....Im a newb and Im just finishing setting up my little bike....I'll post pics soon for you all to laugh at.....LOL
I put a nice 12 bar on it....and bruised my legs about 7 times the first day it was on there ROFL
It sticks out about 1 inch or so more than the stock rear fender did....and it wider of course.....SO it caught me off guard again and again...like climbing on and off....and setting down slow wheelies and jumping off the bike onto my feet.... I kept catching it ....ROFL

 

yeah the 12 bars do **** for this!! it takes a little getting used to but you wont hit as much after you always remember its there..lol!!

 

ya my shins were ****ed for the first week i had my 12 bar on. but i know its there now so i avoid hitting it whenever possible

 

i use them to grab

But they bend my fork legs when i crash to hard, gone through heaps of sets :YEAH

 

ive had to straighten my forks a few times. i ghost rode it right into a tree topped out in 3rd gear once. front wheel was hittin the motor

 

Front pegs for street sessions.................grinding curbs and crap 5050 like a freestyle bmx.......... they also make for interesting stoppie variations.

 

They can also be used for no hander circles.

Will they bend Chromoly fork legs too?
