Z1000-A1 rear foot peg fitting

#1 PostAuthor: tpr » Sat Jan 31, 2009 1:07 pm

I got some new Kawasaki rear footpegs but the holes on the pegs don't line up with those on the bracket. Any tips on how to make them fit?
Thanks

You should be able to force it by compressing the rubber then it wont rattle when fitted as long as the metal is not bottoming out on the inside.

What he said.

The rubber acts in the same way as a compression spring.

Thanks for your help. I had tried compressing the rubber but hot water was the key for these ones.

thats cool man, i found this method out after struggling with condoms, leave them in hot water for 5mins, then they will stretch to my size. incidently, 5mins i find is just enough time for the foreplay :lan
