"i told you to wear the jacket" now its just a joke

pegs came in, they look great. Easy to install but a bit of a pain trying to cram the stock spring in there. Figured it out in short order though. Iz happy.

How were they a PITA? Mine jumped on.

1hardryder4life · May 4th, 2009, 10:46 AM

My springs had to be compressed more to fit the new pegs. I figured out the technique quick enough though and they eventually popped in and work great.

+1 on the springs. they were a pain

1hardryder4life · May 6th, 2009, 11:17 AM

Here are some pics of mine in case anyone wanted to see them installed.

One thing I am going to do this weekend is put some blue loctite on them so I know they won't rattle loose.

word. I wrapped the threads in enough teflon tape so that they wont come loose. They definitely need loctite or tape though.

just installed mine today and its raining..... arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!

tjbrien · May 8th, 2009, 06:58 PM

I just finished the install, (which was a piece of cake) they look great! It'll take me a day or so to get used to them but after a short ride they feel good. Overall, for 24 bucks, this seems like a great mod!

+1. I think its worth it. They look like they belong on the bike. imo

I sometimes point them out because some people dont notice them as being something different on the bike.

JaeL · May 10th, 2009, 06:40 PM

I just locked my down with some "Blue Locktite" today. I think it is a must for anyone adding these to their ride.

$2.44 Walmart son!!!

Ichiro · May 10th, 2009, 06:57 PM

Sorry, but that is not Blue loctite;it's super glue. What most people mean when they refer to Blue loctite is thread locker. Not the same thing.

JaeL · May 10th, 2009, 07:37 PM

Kim.. that bottle is red...... lmfao

Alex · May 10th, 2009, 08:03 PM

All loctite seems to come in either red or grey containers, and most often it's in the red. The strength of it is still on that red container, the pic that kkim posted is correctly showing the blue loctite. Blue = medium. Medium means that a part set with the Blue can still be removed with hand tools. Red is higher-strength, and cannot be removed without applying significant heat to the part to weaken the red loctite. The packaging that Jael posted up isn't loctite at all, it's loctite-branded superglue.

Here's a link that shows all 3 major strengths (green/blue/red), all contained in primarily red packaging.

JaeL · May 11th, 2009, 05:32 AM

you guys are taking this way too seriously.

I understand the need for clarification, but I think most of us know the difference. I was just givin KK a lil chit.

DsmRacing · May 11th, 2009, 05:49 AM

I purchased the same ones as well, my first mod so far

Simple install, used loctite when I realized they could come apart, happy so far

I think the next 2 things will be the HID's and to deal with the rear of the bike.

thsadmin · May 11th, 2009, 07:05 AM

Mmmm will these fit my 86 Ninja ? They say 88 onwards ...

Is this shop cheaper and of same quality ?

Item (hopefully) : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawas...8954QQtcZphoto

Actual Store : http://stores.ebay.com/Bikers-Planet

They have front and back sets for $28 (the lot).

MrTiddles · May 11th, 2009, 10:38 AM

Just ordered mine.

that's cool... I can deal with that.

I just wanted to make sure others that may not know the difference didn't get confused on what to really use. In addition to us having fun on the board, sometimes there is information passed along that has some value.
