I tend to sit back on the pillion for comfort's sake and I would like some sort of a peg behind the passenger's pads for my feet. Anyone had any experience with that?

Anyone know of any aftermarket pegs solutions?

I'm actually looking for something that would fit further back, roughly above the kickstarter.

If you had the rear crash guards couldn't you put a peg on that? Motorcycle catalogs have tons of pegs that clamp onto various size engine guards that I bet would fit.

Man, I thought I was being clever! I was actually thinking more like cruiser motorcycle pegs. Kuryakyn is one of many manufacturers. They have dozens of styles and also make adapters to move them in any direction you might want.

Of course the BMX one posted kind of matches the grips better.

Those are exactly what I'm looking for, just need to add the rear crash bars.

I knew you guys would have a solution!

Is this a poll worthy question?
Who else thinks they spend way to much time here...?

Found that answer way to quickly...
Now ask about oil and we will be talking for hours/days....

Oil the pegs, the hand grips and the seat...
Must keep everything pliable....

I would also rub oil into the rubber of the tires..
Helps to repel water...

Also put oil in your gas to lubricate the engine. If it is good enough for 2 strokers it's good enough for us!

When I was 16 I worked at a car wash and one of the finishing guys put armor all on a car's pedal. The driver got the car, drove it out of the parking lot, his foot slipped off the brake pedal and he totalled it.

I'm pretty sure it says not to do that on the bottle.

My oil has no such warning. No sticker = it must be okay.
