Title: Left (shifter side) Foot peg question
Post by thefattony on 10/26/14 at 09:13:59

So after it was determined that I am the current village idiot (see gas cap cylinder seized) I have been out and about putting around enjoying my savage thoroughly.

Just this morning I added an inch to my seat via the nylon spacer mod, and was going to adjust my buckhorn bars (but turns out I am going to need a better set of allen keys)

After attempting to adjust my bars I started after the left foot peg (shifter side) it seems to sag down a bit when I put weight on it, i tightened and loosened the allen nut above it to see if that would affect it at all, that was no success. After my last blunder I decided to just come inside and ask someone who actually knows.

So can the left foot peg be tightened up to be a but more sturdy under my weight or is it designed to flex like that?

Nope,... the footpegs have a little foot on them that sets the stop point...
It's not adjustable...
There is a tin insert with a rubber foot on it, that goes between the peg foot and the mount.. yours may be missing, or the rubber fell off...

PS.. you can download a set of disassembled views of nearly every part of your bike here...

It's very handy...

AND,,,, IF you determine that the Stop is not long enough to get it to stay up where you want it,, maybe a shim and some JBweld would make it do what you want.
