What's Next? - Designs in Progress
Shift Knobs with Deep Engraving, and in Silver Finish
The shift pattern on our knobs is now all deep engraved into the knob. Knobs are available again in silver finish.
Stronger, Lighter Wide Motorcycle Foot Pegs, and in Polished Aluminum
Most of our wide foot pegs and treads are now made out of extra-high strength, heat treated 7075 aluminum. This gives additional strength without adding weight. The 7075 aluminum treads are lighter than our former stainless steel models. Additionally, our silver colored foot pegs in 7075 aluminum are polished now - this is a better match for the silver on your bike, and wears very well.
New Models
We add new models to our fit list all the time; typically you can find these in the menus for your make and year. Some of the newer models added are:
- Lowered wide foot pegs for Honda Africa Twin and XR650, Triumph Explorer 1200, and Husqvarna 701 Supermoto
- Lowered regular width foot pegs for most BMW GS models and Triumph Street Twin, lowered rubber tread foot pegs for BMW RT and RTW models
New KTM Parts
We purchased a 2016 KTM 690 Enduro to make parts for (and ride!)
Parts complete and coming to the web site now are Extra Lowered Foot Pegs (1-3/8 inches lower than stock), Lowered Brake Lever Toe Peg, and Swingarm Spools.
We have many more parts in process; see work in process at the bottom of this page for current activities.
Improved Wide Motorcycle Foot Pegs
All wide foot pegs made now have chamfered lower edges, improving the appearance and ground clearance.
Improved International Shipping Speed
We are now shipping with UPS to most locations, which for the same shipping price provides approximately 1 week transit time throughout the world, tremendously better than the 2-4 weeks required with USPS. Shipping with USPS is still available by request.
More Non-Lowered Motorcycle Foot Pegs
For many models we now offer foot pegs that come straight out of the mount in addition to the lowered foot pegs we've made for many years. We continue to list the actual drop you'll get with these foot pegs. These allow you to enjoy the quality, grip and finish of our foot pegs even if you don't want your foot lower.
Shift Knobs are Back!
We are offering shift knobs again - the same oversized knob design that was popular in past years. These are currently available in black, although we are looking into a silver version with colored lettering. We haven't had time to update the web site with every knob we can make, so if you want a knob and don't see your vehicle, ask.
Thicker Protective Coatings
All of our aluminum parts have a thick anodized coating now. Black parts are hard black anodized; this is the thickest, highest quality anodizing available and is substantially more durable than paint. Silver parts have a special thick clear anodized coating. We have worked with our anodizer to develop this special thick clear coating.
Rubber Tread Lowered Motorcycle Foot Pegs
We now offer lowered motorcycle foot pegs with rubber tread. These are available for models selected by popular demand (measured by volume of customer requests).
Shipping Discounts
We use flat rates for shipping, so if you wish to buy several parts, you pay the same for shipping as if you were buying one.
What's Next?
We recently purchased a BMW K1600GTL, and are designing parts specially for it.
We have new mirror extenders which move your mirrors up and out. These help greatly to see past wide shoulders and thick jackets. These are ready for Kawasaki KLR650 models now.
We continue to fit our parts to more models of motorcycle, and offer shift knobs for more vehicles.
