Fabricate foot pegs, centerstand and bar risers
Dear Fellow Cheapos!
I want to make footpegs, centerstand and bar risers for my KLR 650A. I have not done much research into it yet. Has anyone fabricated their own? I'm not wanting to spend $500 for something i can make myself. I work on a ship so we have a pretty good machine shop (TIG, ARC, lather and plenty of SS but no mill). Unfortantely i'm stuck on this ship for the next 3 months so i cant go out to the garage and take measurements. I'll have to get it right the first time
I want to make footpegs similar to the Moose Hybrid with springs. I saw their dimmensions are 57x90mm. Is this pretty standard? How bout bolt size? m10s?
Centerstand: How do I bolt it on? To the wishbone? Will i need longer bolts? Dimensions?
Bar Risers: I'm thinking one inch. Obviously this would be easy with a milling machine but all i got is a lathe and drill press. So can i take a piece of steel and drill it out then cut it in half? If so how big should the hole be to fit my stock bars? Do the bolt holes need to be tapped? How big/long bolts are the stock?
I'd appreciate any detailed instructions from thumpers with experience.
Thank y'all!!
