bike's lookin good! those handlebars are crazy. just to warn you, i've heard horror stories about swingarms getting tweaked to hell from bolting pegs to them. as soon as you put some serious downward force on those they are going to bend the swingarm. rear axle is the only safe mounting point.

I actually like that blue a lot.

ya I agree with the swingarm

I personally don't know anything about Z's

But I put a peg on my 150f's swingarm.. dumb idea lol

NOw I'm left with a hole in my swinger, and a BENT TO **** swingarm lol..

After 2 hard drops, the 200 pound bike slamming onto the peg, just sheered my grade 8 bolt off and bent my swinger all up

Ide say that Kenny of TightFX has been stunting a Z for the longest that i know of. Its the same one he got when he was a kid. Never seen anyone else on a Z tear it up quite like he does.

Thanks for the info. when i bought the z there where tabs welded to the swingarm for training wheels, so i just cut them down and drilled holes for the pegs. the pegs are off a china chopper so they have a real fine thread, and im to lazy to make them fit the axle bolt. and i definitely dont want to spend anything on new pegs.
thanks for the compliment. i found those bars on ebay for like $15. i also found the risers on ebay for pretty cheap, stock trx450 risers.

trizzbizzles, that is a sweet bike you have there. Can you post some pictures of you doing tricks on the front pegs? I don't think i have ever seen anyone doing a trick on front pegs.

sorry port, i don't do tricks on the front pegs. i'm not really sure there are any tricks you could do on them, lol. i put those on there to act as frame sliders so i don't mess up my purty paint job when i crash.

joeyshmoey, i understand not wanting to waste money on parts that you already have, but if you ever actually try standup wheelies on those pegs you're going to be wasting money on a new swingarm. just my .02

just drill the holes out on the pegs to make them fit the axle?

did the factory trx risers bolt straight up or did you have to mod anything?

mxr33 · 03-05-2008, 08:27 AM

Farrell639 · 03-05-2008, 07:24 PM

MISFITSBOB · 03-05-2008, 07:36 PM
