They last and last... my brother has had a pair of the stainless steel ones for years now, he just keeps swapping them from bike to bike. Built to last.
My brother-in-law is one of the executives for Fastway. I'm sure he'll be happy when I tell him about your review! I'll see if I can talk to him about the pricing ;)
Thanks for the review baz , us$270 scared me off, I was going yeah,yeah ye, ohh, get used to it Mark, you've always been to tall for every thing else in this 5ft10 world, $270+conversion+freight equals two nights in a motel including fuel and food. Y' had me keen though.
The Evo footpegs are way cheaper, Mark. Around US$160. If I didn't have big boots I'd have been happy with those. The price does seem really high on the adventure footpegs though. I asked a machinist about this and he reckons if they are made in the USA that sounds about right. He explained to me what's involved with the CNC machining. I didn't understand any of it lol. But it sounded time consuming.
I found a pair of adventure pegs on eBay for $160, they're used "attempted to install" and basically LNIB. deals can be found, and I'm not worried about having these snag on a corner because my feet are still just barely over the outside edge while cornering, so I know my feet are going first if I'm silly enough to lean a DR that hard.
#fastwayfootpegs don't seem to make anything for the XR650R... I called and confirmed. Shame too cause I'm in the market and I have been sold by this informative, convincing and entertaining video!
I reckon with a bit of research you could figure something out. E.g. A quick search shows DRC, Super Stock, and Ballards make footpegs for the XR650R and they look pretty standard. They may list what other models these fit and you could work it out from there if any of the Fastway kits might work.
Inexpensive option, take your stock or aftermarket pegs off and mount them below the bottom peg flange on the frame. Bolt them on with a longer threaded stainless steal bolt running though both peg flanges. This lowers them 1" and back 1" on my ktm 300xc, an incredible difference for me being 6' 4" tall. It's best to use a metal compression collar over the bolt or lock nuts in between the metal flanges so they can not bend, if you are an engineer then you may see how this is a stronger bracket and it transfers your weight over a wider area. The left side of the frame works perfectly with the part of the peg that rests against the frame, on the right side I just drilled the peg and tapped a short bolt to level the peg and rest against the frame better.
Another option... simply hacksaw through the flange of the footpeg where the bolt goes through. Then transfer the sawn off part to the top of the footpeg. In most cases it only drops the pegs by 5mm but I remember it was about 20mm on my WR450F years back.
I also have those 2" Rox risers and find together with the lower pegs that the 300xc feels so nice for me. With my size 13 SG-12 enduro boots the foot controls are not so cramped, when I am on the balls of my feet on the pegs I'm in a good spot and have instant access. The brake is adjusted all the way down but might end up a little high with fresh brake pads. I hear if you take one of the locknuts off it will go lower, there is a few hacks one can use.
I’ve the pivot pegs on my DR. Chews the shit outta my left boot sole. Not bothered though. An old ankle injury has gummed up the joint so the “pivot” is much appreciated.
Currently using the cheap billet aluminium foot pegs from ebay @ $50 on my DRZ. After 17000km, all good so far. Have you heard of any of these snapping off from other riders?
I see at 1:34 bootstrap undone. It happened to me a fair bit because I couldn’t get them tight enough. I then discovered I can remove them and cut them shorter on the inner end (non-buckle) which allows me to do them up tighter. Not sure if that’s relevant for you. I do like the looks of the smaller, stainless steel pegs your brother was using. Is there a big difference between the Evo 4 and yours?
Just me being careless I think, Simon. 😁 I had just put the footpegs on and put the boots on quickly to just ride down the street and back to film them. The Evo 4 is close to half the price and a fair bit smaller... but still a lot bigger than the standard DR650 footpegs. I think they have the actual dimensions on their website.
I suspect much of the expense comes from machining the threads for the cleats, but they are a great idea. Muddy trip? Just put a few taller cleats in. Or once they wear down, put some new ones in.
Do the Fastway adventures in the rearwards position put your legs too far back or is it comfortable? Being 6' 3 on the DR and wearing MX boots put my knees almost above the gas tank and I already have lowed peg mounts.
@@crosstrainingadventure Thanks for the quick reply. I ordered the jns 1.5 inch lowered pegs but was afraid to get any rear offset in those. Now I see that would have helped my standing position be in a much more comfortable position. I'll snag the ADV fastways and see how they do. Cheers 🍻
A cheap way to explore this option is these plates. They hang a bit below the frame but are fine if you aren't hopping over logs etc. www.vincestrangmotorcycles.com.au/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_66&product_id=158
Evo-4’s have been on my Beta DS for 5 years, and Fastway Evo-Air on the Husky. We all know bout the ugly stories behind broken footpegs/feet/ankles/testicular-crunch and I’m a wussy, and I hate unwarranted pain 😉
Hey loser. I'm not going to watch the whole video but I hope you still remember me. We've had some good heart to hearts over the years. It's been so long since I've been on 2 wheels that I just watch these vids for nostalgic purposes. Regardless, manlets are reserved for cad's and bounders. Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Keep in on 2 wheels. God Bless + lots of love.
You call that a foot peg? The footpegs on my BMW HP2 MegaMoto make them look like a toothless old man. Admittedly, mine are not as wildly adjustable as those Fastways; but it IS a road bike after all. A road bike with Sharks teeth to rest your footsies on.
Yeah, thankfully it only hurts once lol. The way I figure it, I hope to be adventure riding for at least another 20 years and I'll just keep swapping these over to each bike.
I have the huge fastway as well. As comfy as my Sargent seat. They came with the bike and I am happy. If not, I would definitely buy much cheaper Chinese pegs.

I've had my Fastway footpegs almost 5 years now. Definitely a buy it once kind of item. Super durable. I've done extensive crash testing 😉

Ask him about the Australian pricing too... someone else said the Australian distributor is charging AUD435 which is around US$320. Ouch!
I’ve had mine for 6 years now. Worth the money.

Bargain!

@@crosstrainingadventure Yes, I can get other brands, including PivotPegz which I might give a try.

This is a time that you want to be using 620 loctite or the likes.

Good to hear it's helped. I've ridden a few bikes with them and it just feels weird lol. I know I could get used to it over time....

Yep, occasionally. Many of us avoid Chinese made footpegs.

Thanks for this.. I've been considering ims "adventure " or "rally" pegs, but I like the cleat options on this.. buy once cry once! worthy investment
I suspect much of the expense comes from machining the threads for the cleats, but they are a great idea. Muddy trip? Just put a few taller cleats in. Or once they wear down, put some new ones in.

You may find it doesn't work for you, but most tall riders benefit from lower rear-set pegs.

Does any one have a idea where to get a extion on the footbrake , so its a bit higher when standing? My moto is a BMW R1200GS 2006
Nice but I don't like my foot pegs to be wider then handlebars...
😂

Adventure Moto have these Fastway Adventure Footpegs for $435 . . FARK ! 🥴
I just saw that... ouch. Sounds like really expensive shipping and a double tax whammy?
I bought simmerly, maybe chines.
shit, that is bloody expensive.

Cheapest way to buy them, Al. Already on the bike lol.
