Do you remember the Mr. Parker, the father on A Christmas Story and how he wanted to see how fast he could change a flat on the family car? I'm Mr. Parker. I'm the type of guy who will time himself on how fast he can do certain tasks. I'm also the guy who finishes his task only to find extra parts lying around. Usually this requires me to remove the item to install a part that I missed. My friends won't let me work on their vehicles.
I ordered two full pegs and two inserts from Josh. Today I arrived at home from work and found my new pegs in the mailbox. I had 20 minutes to get my kids to their karate class so I thought I would change my rear pegs with the inserts I received. I had them done in about 10 minutes. Even had time to shovel down some dinner before leaving. I didn't have any loc-tite but Josh did include some lock washers with his inserts. Just to be safe though I will purchase and use loc-tite tomorrow.
After karate I arrived home at 8:50 PM and was eager to swap the front pegs. Reading about having to align the spring and remove the brake and shifter lever made me a bit nervous, but I wanted to put these new pegs on before I took my FZ6 to work tomorrow. The swap was a piece of cake, easier than I had imagined. I swapped both front pegs in 20 minutes. When I completed it my son was still in the shower and my wife was at the grocery store. Then again, my son smelled pretty bad and needed the long shower and how many women are fast shoppers? Not mine, anyway.
Removing and installing the shifter lever was easy; I just unbolted the hinge bolt with an allen wrench, swapped pegs and bolted it back up. The brake pedal was a bit more since I had to align it just right, but it was still fairly easy. I couldn't set the pedal higher because the peg was in the way. One step down was exactly how it was before. The spring for each peg was easy to set up too. At the end I had no extra parts, only the four stock foot pegs and 4 screws (the old screws for the rear inserts).
I tried taking a picture with my cell phone but since it was at night the pictures looked horrible. I'll see about taking pictures tomorrow when it is light out. I took the bike around the block just to make sure both brake and shifter pedals worked and that I didn't swap them or anything. Not only did it worked as before, the traction on these new pegs is awesome!
These pegs are top quality pegs and I wouldn't hesitate ordering pegs or anything else from Josh.
anyways they look amazing, just pm'd ya
