As above, does anyone know of wider aftermarket pegs that bolt straight on ?

I'm using modified Beta Rev3 pegs on my Gripper. A bit of hack sawing, bending and grinding is required to narrow the mounting tabs and shape the stops to get them to sit right.

Thanks longlegs, so is the mounting tab/stub the same on mar and gripper frames ?

Not 100% sure but the original pegs look similar. They're useless for size 13 boots, barely go half way across the sole

'97 to '07 Kawasaki KX footpegs will fit with minor mods.

If you call him don't have your number blocked, otherwise he might not.

Like the idea of larger footpegs.  Does anyone have photos of the KX footpegs installed on a MAR, or know the details of how to modify them?

I did some research into the KX footpegs.

I do not beleive that the newer KX pegs will work.

The year range seems to be from 98 to 2000, but may be a year later.  I threw away my notes, but they were based on what was currently available on EBay at the time.

I got model year 2000 KX250 pegs, my riding buddy got 98 KX 125 pegs.

At first I thought this was not going to work.  The OSSA has 8mm bolts to secure the pegs to the frame.  The KX uses 10mm pins.

I have not installed mine yet but will as the machine is reassembled.  My friend installed his immediately.  His comments were the pin hole is a non issue, as the pegs sit proper with no drooping.  He did mention the front cleat sets ever so slightly lower than the rear cleat, so front to back is not quite horizontzal.  It could be possible to acheive level, then redo the cleats if desired.

As for trimming, the KX peg has a flat plate that rests against the KX frame to support the footpeg, the MAR does not support the peg that way.  This flat gets trimmed off and allows the KX peg to rest against the oem MAR design to keep the pegs level / flat.

The KX pegs also have a limiter to control how far they fold.  These my friend ground away.

When I accomplish this on my MAR, I will post some photos.

In the USA, these pegs are common on EBay for about $20 or less.

Photos of modifying KX footpegs to fit the MAR.  Note the bolts used are high strength and there are no threads in joint.  I did need to install a washer on the front and rear side of the OSSA frame stub to obtain a good side clearance fit.  The footpegs are not spring loaded down, and will take a slight effort to drop back if the bolts are set slightly snug.  This is good for the left side when starting the engine.  I may remove some teeth on the cleat to let the kickstart lever contact the footpeg if it starts easily with the left footpeg down.
