Zero FX foot pegs
« on: November 08, 2015, 02:39:13 AM »

Anyone knows which foot pegs fit the FX beside those made by zero motorcycles? Are they similar to any other motorcycle's brand?

Thanks

Pro Taper would be the ones to ask - they make the Zero accessory footpegs.  It's possible one of their '2-3 Platform' peg models uses the same base as the Zeros, which could mean that aftermarket pegs for some of the bikes in the link below might work:

The accessory pegs look real grippy to me, maybe to the point of being boot destroyers. :)

Has anyone figured out if there are other brand after market pegs for the FX?

I'd like to get some Knight Design lowered pegs for it, but not sure which brand of pegs FX is similar to.

I have the aggressive foot pegs and they are REALLY aggressive! While working on the bike once I slipped with a wrench and gored the sweet feathery jesus out of my hand! Made by Pro Taper and I believe the packaging said they were for a Suzuki. I’ll have to look when I’m in the garage tomorrow to see what model. Pretty sure it’s the RMZ450 or DRZ400.

Maybe that means we can get better footpeg matches from other, more common bike models (mainly dependent on the pin size and orientation if I understand correctly).

FWIW I'm using S/SR footpegs on my DSR. They're pretty slippery in the rain without a grippy wrap, but the DS footpegs were wearing on my boots over time because of my riding posture.

I changed the footpegs on a Zero S (some moron stole them). Costed 7$ x 2 - it is one of the few parts that are not overpriced, at least for a S model.

Here’s pics of the package. (Stock pegs inside) Just says Suzuki. I’m assuming that they are for their dirt bikes. The Zero foot pegs all looked the same so these should work for all models. The only drawback I noticed with the aggressive pegs was that the left peg when folded up on the FX, the two rear inner cleats will contact the frame! I took a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel and ground them off. Also they are sharp as f**k! Have your legs dipped in titanium from the knee down.

I would be very pleased if it turns out that, e.g. V-Strom 650 footpegs transfer over to the riders' footpeg mounts without modification. The V-Strom is a long-selling bike which I've logged 90,000 miles on various years and even the stock footpegs are pretty robust, grippy, and comfortable.
