Fly's Gator High Mileage Pegs

 

I have now officially put a set of FLY Gator foot pegs through the wringer. These foot pegs have been slammed, drug, scraped, bashed and crashed through just about any kind of terrain you can imagine! I have destroyed shift levers and brake pedals but the pegs keep on keepin’ on!

They are now on a second bike and continue to perform just as they did on the first. Ball park estimate would be in the 14,000 mile range on the pegs. They have performed flawlessly and I am in utter disbelief at how good they look with all the bashing they have received. There is almost no wear and certainly no deformation of any kind even after repeatedly being introduced to Mr. Rock, and I don’t mean Dwayne Johnson / The Rock. I think these may be tougher than even him!

The platform is wide enough to distribute the impact loads over a larger area and the shape is awesome. The slight arched shape allows me to roll my foot forward and back without coming to just the edge of the peg.  It maintains a consistent grip on the boot as I move and never changes the way the pegs grip my boot.

They seem to have reduced boot sole wear with the load distribution being improved, which translates into less money spent on resoling my boots. I like that!

The KTM 500 xcw I am riding just rolled over 9k miles and the pegs may be looking at a third bike. Only time will tell. Oops, Sun is almost up, time to go ride.
