Author Topic: 88-89 AC Pro Pegs on an 87 Frame? (Read 2464 times)

What is the mounting difference between an 87 and an 88-89 frame regarding footpegs and nerfs? Would there be a shit-ton of modifications to make these work or is it simply not worth the effort? Doesn't seem to be a whole lotta options for nerfs for an 87. Thinking I may run without the damn things, idk. Thanks.

`86-`87 frames have the footpegs bolted on the `88-`89 frames have peg mounts similar to a dirtbike peg mount that swings up out of the way if impacted. you can make mounts for prop,eg nerfs pretty easy or im sure someone around here has a set of mounts tossed in a corner i just gave a set to a buddy of mine for his R or would have been able to give you those

So it's literally just a matter of making footpeg plates with chromoly round stock welded on? And the nerfs attach to those? Sweet. Thanks for the info.

These are 88 on an 87. Just cut the threaded bung off both sides slide a pipe thru( mild steel from Lowes will work fine) and burn a small weld around it. Very simple. It Also places the pegs in a better location. Then u will need a large washer and one of your original footpeg bolts for your rear brake lever. While u r at it u could make a front propeg mount also

The tpop pick was done for a quick last minute fix to ride as I had No pegs or nerfs. It could have been a little better craftsmanship and closer to frame but I didn't want to cut the tabs off nerfs since it was temporary

I just clicked the link on your original post and realized the type of ac nerfs u r looking at my info won't work. Those pegs can b used with or without the nerfs.
