XS650 Foot Rest Upgrade

Step #1 Take off and drill out the peg holding your foot support to your stock foot rest
#2 Buy a set of these pegs from ebay...
#3 New Pegs...Drill out the bolt and disassemble pegs
#4 Cut off the threaded screw on new peg with an angle grinder and sand smooth where bolt was, you will need to trim just a little bit from both sides of this piece so it will fit into the stock mounts.  Take your time.  I used an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and sanding disc.
#6 With an angle grinder, sand off a little bit from both sided off the new peg so they will slide into stock mounts.
#7 Once you have everything fitting snug, but slightly loose, screw everything together.  I used stainless hardware on my gloss black powder coated foot mounts.
