Rear footpeg idea - from Ninja 250

[Mike Jacobs]

My 1982 XZ550RJ - US Vision came to me without passenger footpegs installed.  I bought a cheap set of generic rear footpegs off Ebay but they were made for a more 60's type of frame, not the angled alloy mount that also serves as a muffler support bracket on the Visions.

Then I took a look at my little Kawasaki Ninja 250.   All-metal passenger pegs, lightweight, folding, with an angled mount at virtually the same angle as the bracket cutout on the Vision.   Popped 'em on, and Voila!!   They look like they were made for the bike.   IMO they give it a more modern sport-bikey air than the rubber-covered rear pegs that came standard.   And a replacement used set (for the ones I took off of the Ninja, natch) was readily and cheaply available on Ebay.

Just a hint for anyone with a similar dilemma.  ;D

That's a good tip.  :)  A while back there was a discussion about rider peg substitutions. I think someone was using V-Max (?) rider pegs which sounded pretty cool.
