Seen this on another forum. Man I can't even dream of the pegs holding my fat butt up for very long! Â
Yeah, that just looks like a cast metal part when it fractures. It's not gonna look the same as a billet aluminum piece would look at a fracture.Canuk said:I wouldn't put too much weight on them, they are really light, and the metal looks really brittle.
I had one break off in my accident. It was an accident after all, so any peg would have come off, but my point is, it looks like it didn't even try to hang in there before letting go. The metal in this picture even looks brittle.

that's what I thought. I would caution you guys on putting too much weight on them. I love the pics and video's of wheelies, and such, don't want to see any crashes from pegs breaking.Medic1210 said:Yeah, that just looks like a cast metal part when it fractures. It's not gonna look the same as a billet aluminum piece would look at a fracture.
I think a court of inquisition is in order. We need to get to the bottom of this before it spreads to other M109Riders. Lamont would be forced to rename the site M109TrailerQueens.com. LOL.M109R Fan said:
My daughter does everytime she rides... Left foot on the left peg, grabs my shoulder and hoists herself up... Although she is only 75Lbs...Medic1210 said:Who steps on one to get their leg over? It's not a stirrup on a horse ya know. :joke:
My comment maybe should read "What adult steps on the peg to hoist their leg over the seat?" I think it's a given that the pegs are more than strong enough to support the full weight of a child or young teen without any issue. I'm pretty sure, based on the pics, that they are probably strong enough to support the weight of an adult too. I was just curious to who actually stands on the peg to get their leg over the seat. Kids with short legs would be easy to understand.JUtah said:My daughter does everytime she rides... Left foot on the left peg, grabs my shoulder and hoists herself up... Although she is only 75Lbs...
