Anyone have an extra foot peg laying around that will fit my S2R1000? I busted one at VIR yesterday and would like to be able to ride while I research my aftermarket performance rearset options. Or if anyone has adjustable rearsets they are selling, or has any advice on adjustable rearsets I'd be interested in that too.
Thanks
Rod, I got you.
... footpeg, that is. Not rearsets.

Don't worry, action pics are coming. If you are going to low-side on the track and get dragged into the dirt with your ankle over the handlebar, you might as well do it when a professional photographer with a telephoto lens is taking rapid-fire high resolution photos. I'm just waiting for the CD to arrive.
so you get bumped to I and then get full of yourself and lay it down eh?...which turn?...sounds like 1 to me...but I am guessing...

Rod, I got you.
Just a small note - DSS foot pegs and SSS monster pegs are not the same. It'll definitely look different and I'm not 100% sure it'll fit
If you want one, I've got DSS pegs. PM me your address, and I'll ship 'em out.
No problem.

Nice guess.
I was running 1:55 and feeling pretty good. Came into turn 1 fine then lost the rear just as it becomes turn 2. I was dragging the peg and it lifted my rear just enough to lose traction. I'm hoping if I get rid some adjustable rearsets that are bit more aggressively positioned than the stock ones it will help fix that problem. I think I also need to get my ass off the bike more so that I don't have to lean the bike as far.
Not a scratch or a bruise on me though. I also had just installed frame sliders (with some telephone assistance from zooom), so the peg was the only real damage.
Geaux only had the passenger peg, which i already determined does not fit. Bun-Bun is sending me a peg from a DSS, so we'll see if it fits my SSS. Thanks guys
My stock s4rs pegs are in the shed if the other doesn't work out for you.
Was this Sunday after G went down and we packed up? (she also scraped her way off turn one, albeit slower)
Sat pics are up on their web page and sunday's will be up tomorrow. smaller and with the copywrite mark of course.

There's no difference between the rider or passenger pegs on a DSS monster. So if Geaux one didn't fit, Bun's won't fit either. The only difference between rider and passenger is the rider one has spring to flip it down and the passenger has spring and ball detent to keep it up. But the peg is universal, those other bits just swap out.
You'll need statlers peg

Interesting, I have never had an issue with my S2R pegs, not even on Turn 7 where it is more likely. The M900 was a different matter, Race tech upgrade, single rate spring, and Cycle Cat rear sets fixed that.
And at least it was your bike, not a borrowed one. - Gene

Ian's right.
I just looked at my pegs and all 3 are the same. I can't tell which came from what side.
Sorry.
Statler, you're up.
The pitch of the grippy surface when looked at in relation to the mounting will tell right from left... But doesn't matter too much since they won't fit no new fangled S*R foo foo bikes ;)
I guess it depends on what part you need. I just bought a brake lever from an S4. Exact same part as the one on my 620.

S4 has a Dual Sided Swingarm which means same rearsets/footpegs as all the DSS bikes the S*R Single Sided Swingarm bikes are where the difference is...different rearsets and pegs...
ROD...just get a Woodcraft fixed peg and drill a hole and screw da beeeyotch on!...or if you got one and want me to do it, feel free to come on over and I'll help you out no problem!
If you need help understanding how the footpegs dis-assemble, re-assemble let me know I have done it multiple times both front and rear, which, as Yuu said, are a little different. - Gene
Rod, you just need the peg itself or the whole assembly? it's now on my basement coffee table.

If I might make a suggestion, if you are running that fast in the north course, on stock suspension and ride height, you do not (imho) need higher or more rearset pegs; you need better suspension, less sag, and more rear ride height. I lowered the pegs and moved them forward from stock location on my S4Rs and I don't drag anything at Summit main (haven't ridden it at VIR) and that's at my all-time heaviest weight, and moving right along. But my S4Rs suspension is set up for an aggressive 200# rider, and I *do* get off the bike when necessary.
I honestly think a combination of body positioning and suspension adjustment is probably more necessary (and will lead to more comfort) than higher, more rearset pegs.
YMMV, of course.
Thanks for all the info guys. I forgot to check back here after I sent bun-bun the PM. I will PM Statler about the peg. I went ahead and ordered the Rizoma adjustable rearsets but I won't have a chance to put them on for a while so I'll use the Statler's stocker till I get around to it.
Suspension is definitely next on my list. Donnie raised it and tightened it as much as he could using the stock adjustable suspension, but now it still sags about 2 inches when I put my butt on it. I've been told 1 inch is what you want. I'm gonna have donnie beef up the front and rear suspension when I take her in for the 12k (hopefully near the end of the summer).
Pics are coming soon...
That's quite a series of pics of you going down. (f and s just put up sunday's pics).
certainly makes it easier to learn from. Nice he was shooting that corner at the time.

I just looked at them. I hate to see people crash, but it did make for some interesting pictures. Looks like you were going to end up in his lap, but you were back on your feet quick.
peg, pin, spring, and clip in the mail yesterday. Keep an eye on the mailbox.
