I'll be blunt.... The righthand footpeg can fall off! The casting that holds the peg is made of steel, while the frame where it rests is aluminum. It's a recipe for disaster, though easily fixed. I've had the rear bolt fail, and trust me on this, it's not a real good feeling.

A simple fix. Keep the bolts tight! Once you allow them to come loose, metal starts wearing, and bolts start fatiguing. My rear bolt broke, and I damaged the casting while trying to remove the remains. We ended up filling the hollow casting with epoxy and then Heli-Coiling it. A #8 stud finished the repair, and nothing has loosened since.

Make sure that there is a metal shim (50616-MBN-670) between the casting and frame, and the washer (90528-023-000) is installed flat side down under the rear bolt. Summers Racing Components also offers sleeves that go around the bolts that are supposed to help. A higher grade bolt may help keep things tight, but you are also dealing with a more brittle bolt.

This is a major safety issue, so I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damages or injuries. My info has come from the web and the february issue of Honda's "The Wrench".
