CG yes, but wait, that's not all...these footpegs looked so similar to my pre'79 RM's I thought for $9.90US + post I'd take a punt seein' as what the local shops sell the bling stuff for :o I whipped off my RM125A peg (similar excepting pin size to all my other RM's in the garage) and low and behold..they slot straight in 'insert huge monumentalously big happy smile here' makes the old one look a little pissy but eh, you pay the price! the new fatty ones are bloody heavy duty and weigh twice or more than the old ones and you'll need to drill out the pin hole and also drill another 2.5mm hole down the guts for the spring (which can incidently be shortened on the locating end if the idea of drilling through an inch of solid metal bothers you) ;)

nah, they're a different setup but the '79 and later RM/PE pegs swap over to the TM's. These ones are for the RM125 and 400. I do like/use the later PE/RM pegs and won't be fitting the fatty ones to the pre'75's..think they may look a little silly on the TM ;)

As much as it really frightens me to encourage the weird little Suzuki footpeg cult.......I just bought a pair myself.
Thanks for the lead in Doc.

Ah the Suzuki footpeg line...funny how these things can take on a life of their own.
To drop 'Suzuki footpegs' into a conversation with anyone not on the forum would likely draw a blank stare.
But they've almost become a mascot or a symbol on this forum. :D
