As so happens I was just in the process of replacing my steering head bearings with tapered ones. So I was able to take these photos. I do like the tapered bearings so much more than the stock ones, another story.
What I did with my foot pegs was that I took the bracket off and separated the flat brackets from the two pipes, leaving the pipe section in one piece. I did remove all the fittings off the bracket before I did this though. I did not need to remove my exhaust to do this.I then bolted the flat brackets back on to the bike and then tacked the pipe section back on. I turned the pipe section back to front and upside down so that the bend was now facing forward and that drain hopes were on the bottom.
Then I cut the pipes about 30mm from where they are welded to the cast fittings. I needed to add some flat washers between the flat bracket and the bike frame so that the pipes cleared the exhaust. When I inserted lengths of 18mm solid rod into the pipe ends. I used a grinder to shave a little off the rod so that it fitted nicely.
With the footpegs re-attached to the cast fitting I place them where I wanted them and tacked them. With both sides tacked I them sat on the bike to see if it was where I wanted the pegs. Once you have the pegs in the position that you want its time the finish the welding plug open pipe ends with rod and using a grinder, smooth and finish off the job so that it looks okay. I had the bracket powder coated and there you go. The only other things that I needed was to have a new rod made from 10mm stainless for the gear shift and a braided brake line to finish off the job.
Cheers,
John
