[net.cycle] Passenger Peg Vibs

gowie@hplvla.UUCP (gowie) (06/27/85)

	Does anyone have any suggestions for taking vibrations out
of foot pegs.  I have an 81 Suzuki GS 1100 in which I do alot of
riding 2 up.  The drivers foot pegs are fine but the passengers foot
pegs generate alot of vibrations.  Are there replacement pegs or
softening techniques which help this situation?

					Thanks

If you think you have problems with rear foot peg vibrations, you should
take a ride on the back of my Yama XT200.  They are rigidly connected to
the rear axle support and move with every bump of the rear wheel.

When I go off road, I tell my passenger to hook their feet ove mine.  Driver
pegs are on the engine cradle and have a little less vibration.

Needless to say, I don't go two up for long rides at all.  I have to drive
entirely different when I have a rider.
