Buell pegs

[ranman]

hey guys quick question?
i got my buell pegs last night went to install then. noticed that there is a lot of slop from the diffrent size holes. some members have said bushings some have said pins. does anyong know type of bushings or pins? part # or for what type of car the bushings are for? thanks for the help

I tried what some people said about using GM door bushings from autozone or what ever parts store... none of them had what i needed so i got creative and went to the local hardware store. I bought some clear tubing that is kind of rigid and cut myself a few pieces off that were long enough to do the job... no vibration in them because of the tubing i used and the slop is gone... if you want i can try to take pic's for you but it will have to wait till later today...

Too keep everything snugged up the best way is to get TL1000 bushings and increase the buell hole a little to fit. The stock Busa pin will then be the right fit inside the bushing and the bushing will be snug in the peg. Seems like a hassle but in my opinion the only way to go.

I used brass. Plastic and teflon will not last. Luckly for me where I work there is a full machine shop. But just buy some brass stock (tubing) and work it to fit with a file and some sand paper on your drill. A drill press would be best but puting your hand drill in a vice should work.

They even survived the wreck!

I happened to have a piece of thick rubber hose that fit the pin like a glove....zero cost and will never corrode.

If someone could get me exact dimensions,I can make up a whole bunch of them at my full cnc shop and supply them for free.

I got the Bronze GM door Bushings from NAPA. On my bike I actually had to sand down the shoulder of the bushing wafer thin to get the clearance I needed. I zinged one across the shop with my 90 degree die grinder and a Roloc disc. The dude at Napa gave me a replacement for free! Just found it yesterday.

Brenadanp: If I think About it tonight I will measure it up and give you a CAD model or just dimensions. Only problem is that they may have to be massaged a little to fit each bike.

I just took a little more off the pegs where they fit into the mount to give the bushings enough room.

Although I work at a GM dealership, I got my bushings in a package at Advance Auto Parts labeled "GM door hinge pin bushings". They come in packs of four, which is exactly what you need.

I would caution against taking too much meat off of the pegs themselves. There is not a lot of meat there to start with. Here is a pic of the "modified" GM door Bushing. I ground these down to around .010 thick at the flange.Just enough to keep em in place. The main shaft of the bushing is what is taking the load so they should be alright.

how does the peg pin fit into the bushing? the ones i gort are slopy, going it try a diffrent kind today. i will post my findings thanks

 

[bigoltool]

They are not what I would call a precision fit. I took that one to work today and mic'd it. I don't know what the OD of the pin is or the ID of the Buell peg. If Brendanp wanted to make some of these you would want to get those measurements to make a better fitting bushing but as is they work pretty well for the intended application.

 

[Aquaman]

That's a nice little sketch you made there,what software?
Also,that .121 diameter is not making sense to me. that cant be right... I'm thinking it maybe should be like .125 wall thickness???

and as I stated,i would have no prob. making up a bunch,as long as i had good working dim's but i wont be able to do anything till i get back from vacation after the 15th

i'd prolly make 'em outta bronze

All dimensions were as measured with a mic this morning. This is a prettty thin walled part. I used Unigraphics to draw it up.

 

[ranman]

cool that helps, now i know the size thanks

I have some slop in mine when you are moving the pegs up and down, but once the pegs are down and especially with weight on them, they are solid.

 

[Aquaman]

What is the o.d. ?
it looks like it says .121 but that cant be...
is it .424 o.d.

 

[bigoltool]

I wasn't sure what you were talking about at first but the image didn't come in very clear. I can send you a PDF of the drawing if you want me to. Just PM me an email adress.

I think it is supposed to be .424 OD and .343 ID

thanks for the fine help, finished the install this evening. is there a way to adjust the brake pedal angle? the shift is a no brainer.
