control foot rests
01/03/08 at 21:14:03

Hello all,
New to the forum, new to motorcycling. Recently took MSF course, received license, bought 2002 savage, and dropped it within 2 weeks of ownership. Minor damage except broke one of the floor boards previous owner installed. Local Suzuki dealer is asking for $100 to order OEM control foot rests (pair). Any suggestions on where to order foot rests for less than what the dealer is asking?

Thanks

If they modified the mounting hole installing the boards, you may have to get brackets, but there are couple bikes being parted out so that is possible also. Max

I think I got them for around $40 somewhere. http://www.kuryakyn.com/searchresults.asp?manufacturer=All&family=&keyword=8002 JakeB

I keep saying that for the money and ease of installation, these cheap boys can't be beat. Well, once you loose the original thin rubber pads they stick on with cheap glue in a rain storm and replace them with some you make yourself that is. See them on my ride:

I know most of you've seen these already.

Thank you for your suggestions. The floor boards were on the bike when I bought it. It appears that the original owner removed the OEM rubber, leaving the mounting bar. Then he drilled through the floorboard and bar and mounted with a bolt or screw.

I tried replacing the foot rests with an aftermarket set from J&P cycles, but the hole in the mounting bar was too small, and it didn't have the lip on the end that lets the bar swing up or fold up, but keeps it from folding all the way down when your foot is on the peg.

When I was in the Army, we would use a "can point" to pull parts that never seemed to come in when ordered (probably different now-a-days in the high tech Army). Anyway, do u-pull-it yards keep bikes for this kind of stuff?

Thanks again
