Bit of ghetto-fabrication I’d put off all year.
Yesterday I finally cut up a set of Chinese wide pegs and welded them to a spare set of DR pegs. Actually DR125 pegs, so then first thing this morning I had to cycle to Toolstation for a 10mm cobalt bit. I wanted to fit the Chinese pegs straight off, but they sat at the wrong angle.
Pegs feel really good on the bike. Only a quick blast across the gravel tracks and a couple rutted lanes. Main problem is the added width means loss of space between pegs and lever.
Then this afternoon much more difficult, the extended shift lever. It’s a non-oem replacement, and the angle it sits isn’t the same as the original.
Cut, welded an extension, then broke it apart again to bend each section until it sat better overall.
Didn’t bother to tidy the welds or paint it. Gonna try it before wasting time on finish.
