Need Right Rear Foot peg

[oldktmdude]

   G'day, I need a RHS rear foot peg. Must be in good working order ; detent locks peg in up position.
I'm in Australia but if postage isn't too extreme, I'd consider buying from overseas.
   Thanks, Pete.

Pete, if it's only the detent that's the problem, you can replace the spring and ball with a fair bit of latitude for exact size. Pushbikes have similar size balls in the head and cranks and any compression spring that will fit in the hole and cut to length will do. It actually has a nicer action now the before.

I took mine out once in an emergency to flare the rivet head on a chain joining link and promptly lost it, then couldn't find the spring.

   Thanks Noel, I'll probably end up doing something similar. Just being a bit lazy. It's not really a problem but it works it's way to the down position whilst riding.
The ball has worn a groove into the side plate therefore not locking into position. Just annoying, I like things to work properly.
   Regards, Pete.

I've seen the springs rust and break as well, they get a lot of water and crud in there.
One of the few things I can lay my hands on in the garage happens to be the spring I used, let me know if you want it and I'll send it up.

My pegs have that groove as well and I know they've had virtually no use from new, I wonder if it's stamped.

Thanks for the offer Noel but I have already got it sorted. With the wet weather we're having at the moment, I have some time to sort out a few little jobs on the bike that I've been avoiding for a while.

I see you said this is sorted, but for others that might have this happening...  The '84 self deployed the RHS passenger foot peg while riding when I got it.  I saw the groove as well, but since the thing hadn't been used much (18K on bike and zero wear on the foot peg rubbers), I figured the groove must be "as designed" and it must be something like Noel suggested.  I took it apart, cleaned thoroughly, then greased and it works perfectly.  Still a little "easy" to deploy, but it won't come down on its own while riding anymore.  Did the other side too and can confirm they get full of dirty grease and stop working correctly, but try a good cleaning first.
