Post 11: Solid brass billet foot pegs


The old Honda 350 foot pegs were worn, rusted, too short, and plain ugly. So I bought two 6 " sections of solid 1.5" brass rod, got them on the lathe to file 9 grooves, and put o-rings in them. It was rather difficult to tap the hole to attach them with 7/16" grade 8 bolts. The end is going to have a wide flat black rubber washer and a 2" brass half ball.
Also visible in this image is the almost new kick start lever I found on eBay.
I will use an automotive rubber pad with an aluminum plate on the foot brake.
