There's an american store called D2Moto (link) that sells pegs (I think they're the same) for 15.90 USD.
I got a coupon that gives a discount of 40%.
The coupon is valid for one more day (I think).
I ordered a set and with shipping it totaled at 28 USD (shipment over to Israel is usually pricey).
Check it out if it turns out cheaper for you, and if you'd like, I'll send you the coupon.

Was off for a couple of hours on some horribly slippery green lanes and then some very steep playing on some banks and they were great. Much much better foot stability.

Thanks for the heads up and all the above coments that made me buy them. and all for just 12 quid posted and here in three days!

Cheers
well, i just ordered mine after reading your comments plus the previous ones :)

I received and installed mine today.

They're drilled for the spring bit/thingy so no modification is necessary.

Installation is straightforward (as said before).

i thought I'd take a picture of all 3 possibilities:

- OEM peg without rubber
- aftermarket peg
- OEM peg with rubber

Zou,

You show in the pictures that you have removed more of the old peg assembly than required. I am assuming that you know this and replaced the bits you need not have removed otherwise your new pegs would be way to close etc.

Best wishes

Yep i know, but it was easier to just remove the bolt, take the assembly out, work on the kitchen table:083:, then put the newly assembled pegs back on the bike with just a nut and bolt to use and not juggle with a spring and a split pin upside down :p

But thank you for noticing :)

I've installed pretty much the same pegs two days ago.
The right one took a little convincing to go in, but that's because I probably bent the bracket and spring a little during one of my spectacular spills.
But now that it's on, I'm rather happy with them.

I've noticed that they are rather suceptable to the old rust problem. Granted I use them on the TTR for off-road riding (plus the crapy road section in between) so they do get lots of abuse.

I did think at the time that the finish wasn't great, but for the price I still think they are a great deal.

Function over bling, so what does a bit of rust matter, kinda makes the bike look a little more rugged.....

yeah I thought the same - I was considering getting them powder coated anyone got an idea as to how mush it would cost ?

but if its affordable then the colour possibilities are endless I may even go with port and starboard:Gangsta2_9BI664:
