solo bunny run this morning as I couldn't get my arse out of bed yesterday to join the wivvy run.
200 miles of which 100 was by 8.15am for a coffee at loomies. No I didn't go direct on the 272. Loads of twistie b roads and A roads, occasionally touching the 272 ( which was actually enjoyable without traffic). Route was made up as I was going, as usual, zig zagging all over the south east. Used some d roads which were more suited to a supermoto, but they filled the gaps between the B roads.
Dropped in at box on the way back and bumped into a couple of faces from here, past and present. Did some knitting there Laughing

,
then home for a bacon sarny, coffee and the moto gp.
Now 30,000 on the Triumph...it only had 18,300 ish when I got it last April Shocked

The new front tyre makes the bike so much more stable, didn't realise how fecked the MOT failiure was!

The footpeg mounting brackets on the Blade are nickel plated steel. Time and weather has made these tatty and cannot be revived without chroming or painting. So I made a pair at work Very Happy

Pice too follow Wink

Dunno as I would trust those. Specially for those arse out of the seat "where the f**k did that bump come from!" moments. There's nothing quite like a snapped off footrest to test ya skills Very Happy

Honda ain't daft. On a bike with very few steel parts. They were steel for a reason.

I would have thought a pair of solid pegs a better idea.
Oh and keep 'em well greased where the levers pivot. I know from experience that they can seize up if ya don't.

I share your concerns but have a taken a few precautions. The material is aircraft grade T6061 alloy and the thickness on the new parts is 5.00mm instead of 3.75mm so 33% thicker. The slot has been machined with a 3mm radius in the corner. I am very anal about polishing Embarrassed

so any crack that may develop will be detected hopefully Confused
