Is there any type of Sherpa footrest mod that doesn't involve welding new brackets or mountings?

What I did with a Pursang a few years back was to cut a pair of Bultaco rests in half and weld the half that bolts to the frame lug onto a Honda (or whatever) motocross footrest. This gave a modern wider rest which bolted to the existing frame lug.

It was the best option I found for better footrests if you aren't bothered about moving their location. Used M/X footrests should be plentiful and cheap on ebay - They're usually steel off the older bikes.

Cheers Woody, that's where my thinking was going as I don't want to change the frame from original if I can avoid it.

Hi Guys, Newbie here, i purchased Frontera footpegs which are approx 1 1/4" longer same pattern and bolt straight on. i got mine from Bultaco UK, and they work great.
