Trevor - looking at your post about the guys who found the stock pegs easy to break...
I had a friend who rode a 1000cc Concours. The bike was too tall for her to manage easily, and she dropped it on a number of occasions. She kept breaking its footpegs. I remember discussion of the Kawasaki pot-metal footpegs, and whether it would be a good idea to get a stronger one. In the end, we decide it wasn't a good idea, because if the footpeg didn't snap, where would that stress go next? Would something more expensive and difficult to replace, snap instead?
The new SW-Motech peg looks like the weak point is the bolt holding the peg to the carrier. Not saying they're weaker than stock, or stronger - I have no way to tell. But it just seems to me that if they're going to snap, that's where they'd do it. In fact if I broke one, that's where I'd like them to break, because it would be the easiest to fix on the road. I might intentionally choose bolts that are weaker than the other parts just for this reason. Then carry extra bolts in case I broke one. Do you think this was SW-Motech's thinking? What kind of steel are those bolts, and do you think they would snap before something else?
