Propeg bending issue

[BigThumper33]

Have any of you had issues with your propegs bending down at the footpeg? Mine are starting to bend toward the ground... I know I can beat them back up, it they are just going to bend down again probably... Anyone know if they offer stronger tube pieces that bolt to the frame, or anything like that??

Same thing happened to my nerfs but i never heard of it happen to the pegs. Thump go on atvoutdoors and reply to some of bighairymonks posts. Hes startin to really piss me off.

come on, I know there are guys putting more stress on their pro pegs than I am. Has anyone else had their pegs start to bend down yet???

i'm 235 lbs. and mwy right side got bent went ei flipped on asphalt goin all out ( got to go for a chopper ride) but i bent it back and redid the weld on the steel bracket and it was all good then like a month or two ago i noticed my left side bending down so i squared the bracket rewelded it and am good to go. i think that the welds were bad or poor from ac but that's just me and i am kina big to be jumpin 30 ft doubles

hmmm... My quad has only been flipped once, and the nerfs were still good.

I think they are bending from jumping. I'm only 170lbs, and both sides are bent pretty equal. I haven't taken them off to look at them, anyone think there is a way to weld in like a metal bracket or rib to strengthen it up alittle?

I have this issue also but i don't think it's the black pegs themself but the inside of the tubing is wearing down and it makes it appear the peg stud is bending down. I have actually bent one of the black pegs when i cased a 75 foot triple but i also bent everythying else on the rearend as well.

I'm thinkin the tubes get wore out on the inside and cause this problem...:ermm:

Hmm...this is not cool. any ideas on how to fix this without spending $$$$. I'm going to install some peg extenders to help keep my feet on the pegs, I think it may be alittle risky staying on the pegs with them bowed down.

Get some peg extenders like mine and you don't have to worry about jack chit......:devil:

Unfortanatly they are not cheap...:(

I bought them from the quadshop and jeff is only makin a few bucks off a set (literally a few bucks)...thanks to the crook of a manufacturer... but they run around $80 or so:ermm:

But i can't say enough on how great they work. My feet stay put under any conditions as you can tell by the monster teeth they have....:)

Go check out the product review section for a complete review I did when i installed them...
